Did anyone watch Stunt Junkies on the 30th? Kane Friesen set the world record stoppie speed on a (mostly) stock ZX10R!! 137 mph!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qaK1E6BV_0

This is a shortened clip of the show if no one saw it.

Congrats Kane on the record and picking Kawi's to stunt on!

Thats badass but the footage kinda sucked, to much focus on bullshit.

THats some sick shit, i wonder how far kane was rolling them? is the record still 1096?

 

[nitetimebolher]

saw that the other day, crazy stuff, i heared that was the scariest thing he's ever tried. I'm sure it was!

 

[lucile636turbo]

That's some sick shit. I've had a stoppie go into a tank slapper at about 70 mph and it was horrifying. I can't even imagine growing balls big enough to try a stoppie at those speeds.

 

[keithk76]

yeh that episode was awesome. i downloaded the entire episode to watch again off torrentspy.com

 

[vettjd01]

he had a custom GPR dampener and i highly doubt it would wobble with how low it was. (not hating...i wouldnt do it) and Race Tech tuned forks and top trpile with trail adjustment. the stoppie was not the longest ever just the fastest. o ya stock brakes aside from SS lines.

props to kane for pushing the sport into the mainstreams eye.

btw the previous record was not 98mph.


dont quote me on it but it was i think 128 set by matt mingay. he was definetly pissed and felt underminded by the discovery channel.

I think it's cheap that the record isn't fought for on the same bike. In a couple years some new kid is gonna blow the new record away with his GSX-R 2100 with anti-wobble kit and a stoppie sway bar balancing system.

Of course Kane will watch in astonishment, and wonder what he might have done wrong...

P.S. - That's like someone fighting for the world record of pizza eating. One person eats a 42 Cici's small Pizza's and the other eats 13 Papa Johns Xtra-Large Pizza's.

Man that First person can really eat!

 

[zx10rpsycho]

yeah he's from Vegas I've seen him and he's pretty good. Thats some crazy shit though. It doesnt look like he even came close to the distance record though.

although that's a nearly legitimate argument, it really isn't... at all...

it doesn't matter if it's a GSX-R 9,000,000 or an EX250/250R.. you have to be crazy enough to want to do a stoppie/endo at nearly 140mph (the majority of the international population have never even been that fast, let alone on one wheel!)

and I'd hesitate to really say that it would be easier to do it at that type of speed on one bike than another. I think the bike is the slightest of the variables, and the suspension setup is the biggest. all the bike really has to do is get up to speed, and the rider pretty much does the rest from there in my opinion.

I never said I would do it, nor that I could. But if the average bike can get a tankslapper at 40mph, and his can be stable on the front wheel at 140mph, isn't it technology that beat the record?

Of course, it's about having the balls to do it. But if someone tells you to do it on one of two bikes, one being safer and one being more dangerous...would you pick the more dangerous? No, you'd pick the safer bike, pull it off, and still beat the record.

I'm just saying it's way too easy for someone to beat the record when they have more money than the other person has balls.

I don't care how much money or technology the motorcycle has.. and that goes for ANY motorcycle.. I'm not doing a stoppie at 140mph or anywhere near it! You might have spent $20,000 having a shop tune your suspension or make it from scratch.. It doesn't make a difference, because when it comes down to it, the only thing between you and the road is air.. and no matter how safe it is, you're still doing a nearly 140mph stoppie!

no technology didnt beat the record. riding did. stoppies dont get wobbly unless youre super high without a damper (or with one sometimes) and/or bad pavement and/or broughtit up to high too fast.

that wasnt a BP stoppie. it was hard braking.

the avg gets a tank slapper @ 40 because of bad riding.

you dont know what youre talking about so im done.

 

[shaun636]

apart from it all im not interested in being on my front tire at 137 so i give props

 

[tlstunts]

my 2c it wasn't balance point and i was kinda ashamed to the normal eye it was ok but from a rider i was like what the hell is this especially the new tire! no one does that i like mine broke in a good 2 months in advance its a weird bike as it is. He was swaying side to side because he was pushing the stoppie i got a R1 im building to take the new record... on Balance point that is all

 

[aaronwilliams]
