Bike Stunt work.. How do they??.....
« on: May 04, 2008, 09:57:19 AM »
Was watching Indiana Jones..

 They were fleeing in a beemer with chair, when a bike pulled up beside them, he shoved something in the spokes, and over the bike went! SLOW MOed , looked like a scary ride! I wonder if the ran a wire to the front end to get it to flip?? Looks like it takes big ones to run flat out, knowing when it get to the end of the wire you are going to endo... :o

I always wondered what kind of bikes the germans were riding in that movie...

They look like those Harley enduro dirtbikes that the Army was recently using for a while, but I couldn't tell.  Some were airheads, but I think the ones doing the stunt work were newer.

Which Indiana Jones are we talking about here - the new one?  I don't remember the first few well enough to recall bike stunts.

Haven't seen the new one - didn't think it was out yet.

Back in  the HD & The Marlboro Man, there was a Pacific Coast Honda, that dis a wheelie.. wondered how they did that?.. think I got the right movie..

 When we saw  it the theatre, ran into John... rides an old knuckle... we were in line for lates show, he was in early... as he walked by he holds up a paper bags, smiles and said, "I brought beer! ""

 LMFAO... ;D

But what you don't see is the Acme pillow, just off camera for Wiley Coyote to land on.
