Interesting but no safety equipment at all?

Your avatar says it all. You guys should be product testers for Genuine. You should also get some offroad tires. THAT... would be fun!

I have owned almost every style of motorcycle and even raced motocross for 23 years and i can say i have just as much fun on that simple scooter then most of my race bikes now that could be because i ride it to and threw locations that it was never designed for lol

When I see trails like that, my thoughts turn to ATVs and dirt bikes. I don't know if I have the nads to try a scoot .... great video!

And I've posted this a couple of times in the past, but this thing still amazed me and makes me queasy at the same time. If you're really up for a challenge, give this a shot on a scoot.

I was leaned over the whole time I watched that, ready to let go of the mouse and keyboard and leap up and left just as soon as the bike started to slip...

Sheesh. Couldn't they find a trail to ride that wasn't made by mountain goats?

Great vid.

I'm right with you there ... no way!

When I watch that clip, I always put myself in that position. The problem being is when things get to the point where I would quit, there is absolutely no way to turn around and go back home.

OK, getting back on the thread. I just watched the 'mountain goat' ride again and I note once more that the 'Goat Trail' riders were wearing correct safety
equipment, helmet, jacket, boots, gloves. Well, the woodsy trail riders wore
nothing but were at least clothed. A matter of choice, I suppose. Not my style
but who am I to judge?
