Bought an Eton Viper 50 for my boys 4th birthday.

It's bone stock, meaning 2.7hp and 220 heavy pounds dry weight. With these kind of figures you don't dare ripp it without some serious protection and I don't mean of the kind in your wallet.


Anyway, when he wasen't home I managed to sneak it out of the garaget for a test run. Here's how it turned out...


Swoosh!


Tops out around 25mph(!).


Warming up.


We're getting the hang of things...


Reach for the sky! :YEAH



Quite fun to throw this little thing around actually. More to come...


Here's the one I usually race:



Not much stock on that one.

what year is your raptor?

 

It's a 2002.

High comp piston, ported and polished head, balanced and polished crank, wild cam, K&N airfilter, aluminum airbox, Jaeger +2 A-arms, Durablue rearaxel, Reiger dampers, Galfer Wave discs with braided lines, YZF 450 calipers and AP Racing maincylinder, AC nerfs, Scorpion full race exhaust...

Not all mods on pic though.

Here's another one:

Hey Raid72,
Are you racing flattrack on your raptor?

 

Hey RC,

Yep, FlatTrack. SuperMotard we call it here. Around 50/50 tarmac/gravel and a few smaller jumps.

That and iceracing, MX isn't really for me. I used to race go-carts for quite a few years so I prefer smooth surfaces.

Hey i see that the hood is open on your car your probly just like me every dime in my wheeler and not on penny in my truck! hey are these pics fake? in the third one you are missing a leg

 

Yeah it does seem a little wierd that you would stunt a 50 with full riding gear

 

lmao same thing i was thinkin...kinda hard 2 stunt with no leg

 

RunDown - I have an Audi A6 V8 as well...

Fake?

The only Photoshop I used on these were to reduce the size and compress them. They're as genuine as they come.

The reason for the full riding gear is that the photos were taken during a video shoot. I'm making a stuntvideo with a twist and thought it would be more funny to stunt the mini in full raceclothing, simple as that.


The reason for the missing right leg is very simple. I don't have one! Lost it to cancer many years ago.

Still don't belive me? Have a look at this thread, were I've posted some of my bikestunt pics...

yo dude mad props , you are a true stunt pimp


that raptor is sick !!

 

man you are a true stunter

 

Thanks a bunch! I'm working on it... Actually just came in from a session, got two more stunts down now. Working on my stoppies with the little thing but they're really weak still. The front brakes are really bad so it's hard, but I'm getting there.

Will post pics of my two other stunts as soon as I can get a cameraman though.


Dizzle - Yeah, I'm pretty pleased with it but there's a lot more coming soon. New plastics (probably silver I think), new carbonfibre spokes, new dampers and a few other tweaks. Probably get a 727 kit and thinking of FuelInjection but the company hasn't quite convinced me, yet...

Great pics man!!!!

If you ever want to exchange some video footage just let me know....we'd love to have some shots of a true stunter like yourself in our DVD (when we finish it someday...haha).

Josh - Sounds like fun! I'll get som more material on tape and will work out later how to get it you. Let me know if you're approaching any deadline as I'm pretty swamped with stuff, so I'll get my prios straight.

You can reach me at jocke@spymac.com.

wow thats ****in bad *** :YEAH

 

Man your trials bike pics make my legs sore thinkin about doing a stoppie standing up on one leg. Big pimping.

BTW I see you're from stockholm. Ever heard of or seen Ghostrider? I was just thinkin about watching ghostrider rides again tonight, and I saw where you're from so I figured I'd ask.

 

wow... your raptor looks good.... if it only were setup for racing it would look better! And you are swedish? im from norway! :D

 

billbanshee - Thanks!

warrior_jay - I've met and talked to him a couple of times, but I can't say I know him.

Team Austheii - It's a small world. Set up for racing? I guess you're reffering to the headlights? I take those of when I race of course. I've just used it to ride around my neighbourhood and I mainly do it come night time, that's why.


/R

 

no i dont mean the headlights... i mean its set up for drag or asphalt racing, but it should been mx racing... :D

 

Ah... MX isn't for me. I have another set of dampers for MX but I rarely used them. I get bounced around to much it's hard enough to not get thrown of when riding tarmac/gravel/ice...

The problem comes in the jumps as well. Since I'm not symetric I place more weight on the left of the bike in the air and that causes problems. I usually balance this by leaning my body the other direction. But then there's the landing...

Nah, as I said. I prefer smooth surfaces...

As it is now it's setup for flat track/SuperMotard racing. Witch is what I mainly use it for,
