bikerboy has a spectacular aura aboutbikerboy has a spectacular aura about
Ripley's Believe it or not ...

Did anybody see ripleys this morning at like 1:00am-1:30am?

He was like this is one of the most dangerous stunts known to man and all that. He said the greatest stunter of all time is Gary Rothchild. This stunt he was going to pull was supposed to be one of the most original of all times. You see him doing a bunch of burnouts and wheelies.

The stunt?

A fricken skitch will holding on the tail of his bike with titanium plated boots and then hops back on his bike from the rear. I was like maybe ol' rippley needs to come on down to stuntlife!!!!!!!!

It's Gary Rothwell and he is one of the best if not the best. He moved Overseas and does most of his shows over there now. He holds a bunch of world records check them out here one of them is a 13 up wheelie.... yeah 13 peeps GARY ROTHWELL RECORDS

I just visited his web site, he dosn't look that great to me. sure he has a bunch of records but, they are all kind of gay records. The mojority of the people here could do that stuff if they wanted to.

Basically I am just saying that he is far from one of or the best in my opinion

Didn't he like get on the back while going SUPER fast, skitch, then jump onto the back of another bike, (which some one was driving next to him), and let his bike ghost ride of a minute, then somehow get back on it? I saw something like that on Ripley's once also,.....shyt looked tight to me.

No he was by himself. He skitched at 140 then hopped back on. I think some of the guys here would try it if they had an opportunity to get a open 5mile track with no obstacles in the road. Some of these guys do it fast on the freeway and run risks already. If only they had an open road with no traffic guaranteed I am sure they would do it.

But mad props for the recordsas he can do a sh!tload more than I can like some of the folks here...........

I seen it, he was sketching for a minute at 100 then hope onto the front of his buddies bike, and let the bike(ghost ride) while cruising at 80mph on cruse control. But this was like almost a year ago. just look at the websight it should be there. Unless someone was attempting to break that record.

kirk newcomer is a decent person
you should do a little homework before posting. gary is one of the guys that brought this into the mainstream. the europeans do it allittle different,,but over there it's mainstream. i used to work at blackman's cycle and the owners were friends with gary and provided alot of his bikes. i never met him but was told he's a hell of a guy, that probably could ride circles around alot of people on this site.
