    hahahahaha, same guy crashed earlier in the race & held onto the throttle so the bike kept spinning him around in circles... So good they showed it twice

    I can't see how they can ride those things!

    I'm glad I went with mini motards for my "series"

    No shit, if you went with Pocketbikes CEO woulda cleaned up, since they're lifesize for him. Youd all be at a disadvantage.

    all they did was repeat what could have been said in 5 minutes and turned it into a 1/2 hr fest. Glad I Tivo'd it to fast forward the commercials.

    Although It was pretty cool to watch and would LUV to try it.

    How did that Mohawk come off? Did he forget something like a chin strap?
    Sure looks like overkill on the gear but I guess pavement does its damaged no matter how low to the ground you are.

    Judy, some of those things can do 50 plus. I've taken diggers riding minimotards on pavement.... Trust me, you'll want the leathers.
