Agreed. Someone was holding his beer.

I couldn't consume enough akihol to attempt that stunt, but... I knew more than a few people in my younger days who would give it a shot.

Our old friend, Akihol. Nowadays you can catch the video online. We used to just have to ask our buddy what transpired.

Uncle Hall, is that you?

I have a cousin that would try anything, usually he was successful and that is before any alcohol. He was a very good dirt bike rider and I learned to never go for a ride when he offered. He liked to trick people into hopping on back of his Yz250 and then proceed to do jumps with people on back.

Looks a litle fake, if what I think i'm seeing i'm seeing.

Former biker here. Looks real to me. What are you seeing to indicate otherwise? Not that it matters, but with the ubiquitous AI, one never knows.

only reason i say its fake is that I cant imagine a person taking those kind of burns and still trying to get a pos bike out of the flames

Looks like he's armored up to ride. Leathers. Riding boots. But mostly I think he thought he had the expertise to jump the flames. There was no "plan B."

While it's hard to know what is really fake anymore with AI, I have no trouble believing that somebody was stupid enough to attempt this, and then subsequently stupid enough to try and save the bike after he landed in the fire. While I wasn't there for this one, I get to see the aftermath of real-life mind-boggling stupidity all the time. And yes, it's often fueled by alcohol, although there are some people who are dumb enough they don't even need it to get themselves into these situations.

I looked at it again, and realized it was wood coals and not LAVA. I thought it was a molten LAVA blob in Hawaii, but after I saw the wood ashes float up when he landed, I realized that's what it was and why he came out without dying in a pool of lava. Ha !

Next time, he'll try it wearing flip-flops and a t-shirt.

there's no shortage of stupid...
