this is the footage. 2 cars and a truck. in typical fashion they replay the same clip from different angles to make it look like its worse. the car behind them is part of their team. i'm not condoning what they did, but its not as bad as they first made out. when i first heard it on the news a few days ago, i too thought 'what idiots' but then read the more correct news story in yesterdays paper and thought 'typical media'. its all about ratings these days. |

the story was a media beat up at its best. the 3 riders are extreme sport professionals and are in the top 20 in the world. they were training for an event coming up at mt panorama. it was at 2am in the morning with next to no traffic. they have someone driving a car behind them in the lane they are in with their hazards on.
the media make it sound like they were weaving in and out of the peak hour traffic. they also make out like its just a bunch of kids who decided to have a skateboard. wouldn't want the truth getting in the way of a good story. they were wearing full helmets, full leathers etc etc. |

I watched this clip on Youtube after it appeared on ninemsn about a month back. Not something I would do, but even if they took a few precautions it is still a public road (freeway?) and.. you know that saying... 'stool happens'. Who am I to talk... I got my BMX to 70 down my street with no helmet and a pair of thongs when I was but a lad growing up lol.

It's been done in Melbourne's Burnley Tunnel in 2004 from memory.. so dangerous for many reasons but somehow very admirable

I'd be more impressed if they went down the up track.
If they could do that at any time of the day & survive then
