Re: Hmm good read
Here's the reality of it.
We're all dying to stunt, not dying from it. The fact that they go on and on about motorcyclists getting injured or killed is just a ridiculous way of mass media trying to make people like us look like criminals. Bank robbers and murderers are criminals. The fact that we're all (all states included) heavily supporting groups like Oz Freestyle shows that we'd rather do what we love in a controlled environment rather thanon public roads.
If these journalists had directed that story more as a sporting news piece, rather than sensationalising it, the chances of more track time would increase. Instead, these badly trained, dollar-fed nobodys are making it harder for us as they're hurting the name of the sport. Thus making potential sponsors frown upon spending up.
Grrr, couldn't be bothered saying any more. You'd all agree!
