The TT one made me giggle like a school girl a few times

The scene that starts at 1:21 in particular. Beautiful.

All of that was amazing. Thank you.

I want to learn how to ride a motorcycle.

Last night, I had this awesome dream that I was riding my wife's TS185 around a parking garage, powersliding around turns and having an absolute blast (in my dream, it weighed the same, but had the low end torque of a 650 4-stroke).

This might help, powerslide explained by the men who invented the style

Here are few more clips of this entertaining and equally dangerous riding style

The Fuck! Flames are shooting out of the back of the Yammie at 2:45 (TT)

Seems like the 'Pumping Iron' of Moto GP.

Garry McCoy was 1 of 2 riders that were out signing autographs at the MOTOGP back in 2003. He was very cool. Very small, but very cool.

Pumping SOMETHING, that's for sure...

Yeah, all good and all. but I think Marco has the last say on powerslides:

One. Fucking. Handed.

That's goddamned insane and AWESOME.

I remember jumping out of my seat when I saw that. Blew me away.

I really hope Melandri can deliver again once he's back at Honda. His performance this year has been nothing short of amazing, considering the conditions he's been working under.

Not to take away from Marco but he was just showing off, McCoy can crack a record lap times sliding about, That's why they call him the King of Slide. He doesn't just burn off the tire but manages to get it to the end of the race, unfortunately for him his style is more suited for a 500 class that went away just as he was starting to show some results.

I've seen Aaron Yates do similar smokeshow but his lap times suffer.

Hope Melandri does well, always liked his style but he already had a shot at the fame during his stint at Ducati...

This just looks like so much motherfucking fun:

That shot of McCoy powersliding into a wheelie is hands down one of my favorite GP shots ever...
