I feel like I'm watching a different magnitude of skill here. Maybe they're dangerous or maybe not but there's no doubt that's an extremely fast street pace.

It's not skill, it's just risk acceptance. Passing a car on a blind right-hander? Yeah, that's skill.

BTW, look at the guy in front of the camera bike for most of the way - that's how *not* to hang off. Head/torso completely centered on the bike while he stretches a knee for the ground, crossing up completely in the process.

Wasn't that long of a video, I thought it would be longer considering it was a different level of skill we're talking about here.
Oh well, I guess life is full of dissapointments

That was an amazing road. There was also a very dangerous line cross in there too. We have no twisties in Chicago. LOL
They seemed to be a little too bunched up. That and crossing the center line too often. That said isn't it fun being a keyboard warrior hehehe. It's also good that those of you who know are mentioning proper positioning so anyone learning (aren't we all always) will not learn another person's bad habits.
I hate when people put "vs." in their vids. Unless both riders mutually agree to race and are going balls to the wall then its really not a "vs." thang.

I didn't see anything spectacular there. Nice road but I agree with KS on the body positioning....No squaring of the body, no head towards the mirror, nothing....Just goes to show you do not have to be fast to drag knee.
