Yes, this is not exactly new, but if you haven’t seen it, it’s got a cool wipeout at the end when the bike catastrophically fails. They just don’t make ’em like they used to.

A pretty ballsy attempt. However, I wouldn’t call it a ‘cool wipeout’ though. It makes me quite angry when armchair observers call a serious accident ‘cool’ or ‘funny’. I guess if you never actually pushed the envelope on anything, watching someone’s body ragdoll like that would appear a bit comical. In ain’t the Simpsons and a real person got seriously hurt.

Yeah, but that real person knew that there could be serious consequences if he fell and he had it videotaped for all to see–it’s not like they called a hit-and-run a “cool wipeout”. Besides, that guy profited somehow from the deal, and wiping out made it more exciting. More exciting=more views=more money!
