The cameraman must be a hell of a rider!

I was gonna say the cameraman is a better rider, but he proved that at the end. 8-)

Man there is nothing like stone walls and trees and barns at the edge of the road to sort out the gonnad sizing. :shock:

That tired me out :!:

The rest of it I just wasted.

No doubt, the cameraman was on a R65!
Any and all disclaimers may apply

As the film started, I was thinking I was watching a film of the guy on the bike. Then at one point, I thought, Wow! that cameraman caught up to our rider! Also, it took a while for me to wonder if I was hearing the camera bike. I started noticing the riding form of the guy we were watching. His knee was out but his body was leaning the opposite direction. When you see pics of Rossi, his whole body is leaning into the turn. Noticing that made me feel kind of silly because I'm such a rudimentary rider critiquing a real racer's form.

Then the camera man kind of hit the throttle and you know the rest.

There's a bit of pedigree in that racer, but I hope he doesn't go the same way as his dad and uncle.

I'm still looking for that video of the rally car & driver (Red Bull?) that had a track to themselves and was drifting around the tight curves, ending with the driver burning off all remaining rubber, down to the wheels, with red-hot brake rotors.

Anyone?
