They need to get a tripod or get someone that can hold a camera steady.

you cant compare completly changing the geometry of a bike to make it handle like **** just to do that, with throwing some minor upgrades on a sports car and just driving it differently then its normally intended, cause when the days over if you wanted to take an fd for example from a drift track to a road coarse or the street, a few adjustments and your ready to go. just my 2 cents tho, different folks different strokes. i just couldnt imagine using my sportbike for anything other than taking corners at extreamly high speeds

if you are curious what someone looks like when they actually know how to handle a bike and not just do burnouts on a hideous piece of machinery take a look at this video

they still cant compete with the originals videos manjis'.

My friend does stunts on bikes.. ANd the first video has the harder trick.

As in this guys in the second video wouldnt even come close to doing a manji and then upshift to continue manji's.

I have no idea what the hell a manji is nor do I care because it sounds like some JDM bullshit. However, those guys were doing burnouts on pseudo-drag bikes with extended swingarms. That is not impressive, not in the least bit.

And it doesn't look like it was in the Carribean, it looks like it was in Alabama. Only in the south have I seen people put those stupid *** swingarms on their otherwise stock bikes.

they actually sounded to be a little more then stock but you are right about that whole thing being a southern thing, must be a lack of an average iq above 180 down there that makes them think thats an impressive and cool thing to do

180Iq is like a super genius. Thats like the top of the chart.

I think you meen an Iq of 80 and yes I agree.. someone is gonna die.. and more than likely its gonna be one of those dumb mother ******* on the side of the road.

But they are the cool smart ones let them make a fool of them selves.

ANd as a reminder johny quest. extended swing arms give you more grip on accel.
SO i would guess that it is harder with swingarm.


PLus your videos the guy did the gay rear wheel lock to a gayward drift. It had nothing on my video. Ask a real bike guy and they will tell you which drift was harder.. Im sure they will agree with my video. BEcause i have never seen a stunt biker even come close to what those pplz did in my vid.

thanks for the correction. 180 isnt really super genius, unless they changed the iq scoring since the last time i took it i got over 200 and well sometimes i forget to think and have my own little retard moments still. but 80 does sound more fitting for those kinda people. the second vid deffinatly had much more skill and bike controll. contrary to what was stated in a post above about "talking to a reall biker" ive been riding for almost 5 years now and well the first trick, yes longer swing arm adds traction IF YOUR NOT SITTING ON THE GAS TANK but it also makes the bike more stabel in a straight line, making that little side to side burnout/drift not that hard. as aposed to the second video, were those tricks require balance, cooridination (spelling?) and throttle control, all i saw from the first vid was some idiot that can hold a throttle 3/4 open and wiggle the *** end of the bike around wile doing a burnout

You didn't score 200, let alone over 200.

An IQ of 172 is the 99.9999th percentile. By definition, this only allows 6000 people in the world to exist with this "level" of IQ. This is typically the ceiling of even the most stringent tests - a typical test limits around 140ish, or the 99.9th percentile. A measurement above 172 doesn't happen. There is just not enough people in the world to develop correlation to test at that level.

/Knows some about this area.
//People who claim 180+ are always full of crap.
///Is this the first time I've called someone out on RX7Club?
////I dunno, but what I DO know is my love of slashies.
/////BTW, this has always been the case since IQ tests came out. It's really nothing more than a mathematical formula.
