I want to see the shot, because there's such a thing as being too close. Can't quite figure out what shot would be worth doing that.

That guy might be the brother of the guy who photographed a grizzly from 50 yards away and got fatally mauled as a reward.

Umm, just search for "women fail" videos. Plenty of stupid bike tricks and other bad ideas.

Very small brain, or very large cajones. Or some combination of both. Either way, I kind of admire the passion. Horrible idea, nonetheless.

The ones standing at the guardrail aren't much brighter. Those things are not impenetrable force fields. I've been at a track and had a car come through the fence near where I was. I was a lot further back from the fence than those guys, and it was a bit too close a call for my liking. I also learned I could run a lot faster than I thought.

I know about drifting, and I did realize it wasn't as extreme a situation to be in as it looks, but even so, that's an absurd place to put yourself, ON the course...

Not anymore. But I'm a car nut from way back, and a LONG time ago I attended the Bob Bondurant School of High Performance Driving, and we did 4-wheel drifting in that... I drive a little more sedately now, but I've had my moments... Anyway, I follow this drifting stuff, it's an interesting evolution in motorsports.

It's the Arab drifting that's stunning. The death rate is stupendously high.

Bear, the longer I know you on DPC, the more I'd like to know in real life. :)

OMG - video. Look especially at 0:45-0:53. That's on an open highway with other cars nearby.
