Yea, ain't progress great, now they do it on 110+ horses and they look MUCH better doing it.
Just so it's not lost on anyone, the only "safety equipment" they are wearing is a helmet and gloves and the chick at the end barely has clothes on. Those girls are truly baddass.
BTW, when I was younger and just as stupid (as I am now) ......I have done what the chick at the end does. I have in fact stood on the seat of my dirt bike at 40+ mph and held my arms out to the sides like I was flying.
I fell the fourth time at about 20 mph.....I was going
too slow to stabilize the bike.....no helmet, just gloves and it was cold and so I had 2 pair of jeans on! Landed on my knees and hands. (edit, I should mention I had learned to "rag doll" many years earlier and that is what I did after I landed and probably kept me from getting really hurt, luckily I did not hit my head)...Ripped the palms off my gloves and tore through both pair of pants.
Not a scratch on me!!!!! I did have my leather jacket on.
It took a few months before the damage I did to my knees started to heal and they got normal....landing on them and my hands hurt like fuck but I got no skin damage at all. Go figure.
Those chicks are baddass by any definition of the word.

oh, and their asses certainly aren't "bad" in the strict sense of the word, if you know what I mean.
