“The first time I saw a motorcycle blasting by, balanced only on its front wheels, I remember thinking the rider must be in the throes of some horrible accident. I was more right than I could have imagined. The stoppie, as it has come to be known, is, like all street extreme tactics, an exercise in controlled chaos.” - from Streetbike Extreme In Streetbike Extreme, author Mike Seate nails the experience of performing stunts that defy all laws of physics, as well as most traffic laws. You'll go for a high-performance ride that brings the exploding street extreme movement to life. Seate captures its history from its earliest years - when outlaws like Evel Knievel terrorised small towns with their insane antics - through the rise of today's hottest performers like the Starboyz and the Las Vegas Extremes and the arrival of stunt riding as a legitimate sport.
