I was wondering that, too, usual the problem is they nose dive. Should be entertaining.

looks like they used a fall-away ramp - after the front tires hit, pitching the nose up and back, it drops away and the rear tires hit at a different angle

those were pretty sick stunts. i kind of figured one of them would not make it. I could only imagine how bad it would have been if the bike didn't make that jump

The jump down was the craziest. A blind ride off the side. With a set like that I don't know how he can sit on the seat !!!
