I gotta admit, that old TV show CHiPS from the 1970s helped me fall in love with motorcycles. There was something really cool about the fact that they were chasing people down on two wheels. But really, we never saw Ponch or John do anything amazing on their motorcycles. It might have left one wondering how useful of a tool one of those big bikes actually is.

Well, this post should give you all the reason you’ll ever need NOT to run from a motorcycle cop. To say that these guys are well trained is an extreme understatement. Here now is a collection of police motorcycle competitions that demonstrate what it’s really like to be “one with the machine”.

First of all, thanks to Perry Quinn over at Lijit for turning me onto Ken Block!

Ken Block is a driver for Subaru, and apparently whenever they need someone to do something completely insane, they give him a ring. He has gained worldwide notoriety for his exploits outside of rally competition, having successfully jumped his rally car 171 feet for Discovery Channel’s popular “Stunt Junkies” show in 2006.

Then in 2007, for a segment in DC Shoes best selling Mtn. Lab DVD series, Block slid and jumped his rally car in the snow with pro-snowboarders at New Zealand’s SnowPark. The session resulted in an epic Snowboarder Magazine cover shot featuring Block jumping his rally car alongside a pro-snowboarder, plus an amazing video sequence that was included in the closing of the DVD.

What? You don’t believe me? Well, take a look at these psychos who jump off of perfectly good mountains for the sole purpose of acting like a flying squirrel! They don winged jump suits that essentially just have fabric between the arms and body as well as connecting their legs, and then they make like a human lawn dart. You’ll see…

I guess it takes practice to master any skill, but seriously… this guy must have practiced a LOT!

I’ve never seen a remote controlled airplane do anything like the stunts this guy performs – much less doing them inside a gym where you could hit walls, the ceiling and the ground.

My dad may have taught me how to ride a bike, but dammit why didn’t he teach me to ride like THIS?!?

I’ve assembled a small collection of vids of guys doing unbelievable tricks and stunts on BMX bicycles. Not only are these guys serious athletes, they’re also kind of loco.
