CRIPES!!! That center stand is TOAST! You gotta admit that flip at the end was the bomb tho... I gotta learn how to do that.

LOL!! Exactly! Is there a school for scooter stunts ? If I ever saw that in real life...... That was kind of exhilarating to even just watch on a screen, forget about in person, or even to be that person.

You realize that movie got bastardized into the Queen Latifah movie "Taxi" that came out a couple years ago, right? I didn't see it but I'm pretty sure there was nothing nearly that cool in the american version.

(yep, I'm serious.)

I saw the original french version of Taxi while flying to Tokyo several years ago. It was crazy. I always wanted to get a copy and re-watch it but I cant find it here. Never bothered to watch the remake

Oh my lord! I'd never attempt to do anything like that! But mad crazy points for the stunt man who did it.

That's just sick! Man, if he goes down, his leg just snaps.... Gotta agree on the dismount though--pretty fun.

I've always wanted to see it. If anyone finds a copy in the US, please let me know.

I've read that the foot dragging is not uncommon with some riders in Europe. Nuts!

I did something like that dismount on a Buddy once. Hello ER, goodbye Buddy!
