Meet Ian “Hoppy” Hopkins. He owns one of the best vintage motorcycle collections in Australia. Some of the stuff he’s got is so rare that the factories have tried to buy them back from him.
I came up with a neat analogy to explain Supermoto while watching this video. It’s like inverted rally on motorcycles. In rally, street going cars are modified so that they can race on tarmac and off-road. In Supermoto, off-road bikes are modified so they can race off road and on asphalt.
This is a video entitled “Ride Your Passion” by French stunt rider Jorian Pnomareff. “What is stunt riding to you Jorian?” “It’s more than a sport. It’s my life. The tricks, the bike, the level, the style is unimportant. Just HAVE FUN!”
The Isle of Man TT is simply one of the institutions of motorsport. Watch this video and you will understand why. These guys define bravery.
Red Bull is up to their usual antics setting loose French motocross trials rider Julien Dupont loose in Rio de Jainero. He’s riding in the Vidigal community which is known to have best view of the city. I always enjoy watching trials guys freestyle. They seem to find fun things to do with objects that you and I would never give a second thought to.
