Title: COTA promo clip
Post by: Arnie on April 10, 2013, 09:36:43 AM
Wonder if the US "fans" will be upset that the racers don't behave like this?

I would have rather seen more footage of "racers" going around the track instead of the "stunter."

But, of course, those in advertising or marketing NEVER really know the true fan.  They gear everything to the Wrasslin' type of fan.

I think the stunting crap is more the red bull PR machine trying to draw in a "fresh" crowd.

that promo is definitely not tuned for racing....


of course it would be nice to see Rossi do a stand up horn mono on the cool down lap after his first win of the year  :good2:

I dont think he is going to be quite so happy with second place for long  :biggrin:

KOokaloo!

I'm rather new to this style of bike, Had my FJ now for about 3 weeks, As I do like to watch the guys/girls do there tricks, But I wouldn't try it, I saw a few years back, I believe it was back in 05', there was a young rider on a Honda, If memory serves, He was riding a wheelie down the freeway about 80  :crazy: , when his rear tire blew  :dash2: , there was about 3 other riders with him, Luckily for the other riders they did crash with him, they where not riding wheelie's, but they was behind him, RIP to the young rider
