Re: What will Rob Durren come up with next.
From someone who has been working on switchback endos, can ride on his fender switchback, and above all, has a firm grasp of bike control.
There is NO way you're doing this rolling by yourself. This is something you posed for a photo. To loop a fender-switchback endo and catch it is something that not only has yet to be done. But poorly attempted at best by the worlds top riders.
That said, I don't care what you do for fun. But don't come on here and lie to us like we're a bunch of idiot squids who don't know anything about physics let alone motorcycles. Is it possible? Yes, by all means, have you done it, no. Not to say your going to get a lot from this community of misfits, but have some respect.
This bullshit is about as thick as some of the leach riders sponsor resumes.

Re: What will Rob Durren come up with next.
He said rear brake if you're going backwards down a hill on a bicycle. I gather it was supposed to be an example. I got what he meant right away because I used to be heavy into BMX. Often I'd come down the ramp backwards and rear brake it in the middle to bring it up and swing it around the other way. I also used to ride on the front pegs and I could ride it for a distance. When I pinched the front brake the back would come up and I'd grab the seat.
Like Apex said It could be done somehow, someday, but Durren didnt really do it in that pic.
He has sent me a number of friend requests and I never accepted.
He seems wack

Re: What will Rob Durren come up with next.
Here is a little food for thought brought to you by Pabst Blue Ribbon. Might I add, that its on super sale at the local Vons and I don't see a monetary reason to be sober for this injured reserve break I'm taking.
So, to the point.
For someone to do this trick they would need to be a host of things.
Proficient at riding switchback on the fender.
Proficient at riding switchback on the fender in an endo.
Proficient at stalling endos switchback.
Proficient at catching an an endo at the stall with only 1 hand.
Lastly proficient enough do it on a ZX10 with stock bars, full fairings, also, catch the passenger rearset. And at the same time, claim the camera mount on the tank as a load baring handle.
For a non stunter to be able to do anything on that list is applaudable. The amount of time it would take a non stunter to learn everything on that list and do it on cue in front of a camera on a ZX10 puts my money on the line.
100 bucks for the video by Wednesday on the ZX10, in full gear, no help, no bullshit. Beer is rad, it just makes me want to give away my money at theoretical bets. Theoretical in the respect that the trick would be semi possible by the riders I'm betting.

Re: What will Rob Durren come up with next.
no need for video you idiots. look at the picture, if the bike was coming up at speed his right hand as well as the relation of his feet to his upper body would be completely different...in the pic the bike is clearly being HELD up as evidenced by his pulling relationship to the motorbike via his right hand and his feet...rather than a pushing motion which would be needed to stop the bike from flipping over. of course, you could say that it popped up but not all the way and he is holding it up there, but then the severe angle of the bike would indicate that it indeed, had gone past the balance point.

Re: What will Rob Durren come up with next.
ive been getting invites from him since ive had a myspace page.
plain and simple, theres something shady. i dont do shady. easy as that
if you could do that trick, and knew you were going to be doing them that day for a photo shoot, you'd have a video camera.
have fun seducing high school girls with your super cool biker super powers. but i dont want to be associated with someone like this
