        holy crap, those were some close calls!

        I love the old guy when the car misses his legs by fractions of an inch, I'll be he was cleaning out his pants big time!

          I bet more than a few of them changed their pants to a pound!!! I can just imagine wrecking off your bike, hitting that big pillowy stop, and then seeing another bike careening toward your head!!! Talk about a "first you say it, then you do it" situation!!

            wish I could look up the story on those cops who all ran right past the bad guys... I'll bet they still get crap from their co-workers for that one

              The Cop one I have seen in a tv ad for something. I think it was Snickers or Southwest Air.

                The guy trying to do a header and then recover and get back on the bike was the one I liked best. I'll bet he is eligible for a union card in the stunt mans union.

                    Ok, the cop one is a fake. I had to go back and look at it to see just when the cop cars showed up, well, one was parked in front of the tractor trailer rigg and the other just beside it the entire time the guys come out of the bank and get into their car.

                    So...either staged or that city could only afford to hire Larry, Curly Mo, and Shemp for cops. But still fun to watch.
