Motorcycle stunts are not a joke, no matter how simple they might seem, especially when performed by skilled riders. Bear in mind that a motorcycle with an average weight around 200 kg (441 lbs) is being balanced in a contact patch of only a few square centimeters, so there's not exactly much to rely on, save for one's own skills... and some luck.
This video shows just how bad things can go in a second or so. As if a fall from a wheeling motorcycle was not enough, the machine also flips over the unlucky rider, and a large chunk of metal atop of him is most likely the last thing a fallen rider needs.
Unfortunately, there's a lot of falling and bike-wrecking involved until riders such as Ponomareff or Pfeiffer are able to deliver their breathtaking art to the audience.
