Notice how a population of 141M person country produces 80% of the stupid driving vids on youtube. I'm convinced people in Russia don't value their lives.

Wow, that guy gets super Fing stupid at 2:55.

I've been in Moscow a few times, crazy drivers in general. It seems like the male population have to compensate for something when they get into a car.
This guy will be an organ donor soon

I don't think he'll have many organs to donate when he becomes a squishy red smear between a couple larger vehicles.

All the skills in the world can't save people like this from another driver doing something completely unexpected, or a difficult to spot piece of debris in the road. Something as simple as a loose chunk of metal a couple inches by a couple inches laying in the road = instant death.

Minimal skill, maximal luck. He locks up the front wheel on several occasions and does wheelies on a strightaway in the opposite lane.

And spawned plenty of posts from morans declaring it fake.

Which I expect to start any minute now in this thread.
I don't see anything fake about it at all, just stupid. I've seen with my own eyes motorcyclists passing me at about twice my speed while I was going 70-75, shot by like it was nothing. It was an open highway, but if you're Russian and you don't care about your life might as well do it in traffic, too.

Nerves of steel.

Even if this were staged (hypothetically), very few riders could pull those clearances off at those speeds thru moving traffic, including oncoming.

I'm sure I couldn't even do it in a video game. :D
