Title: Real or Fake???????
Post by: Ghost on 28 October 2009, 16:11:26
What do you say is it real or fake?
if it is real then its one hell of a stunt.
Watch the video and see for yourself.

nearing lift off from the end  they looked further back from the camera than when they actually appeared to have hit the ground. you see no point of landing in the film. fake

I reckon fake! ::) ::)

Even if you could control the descent on the initial part of the building's slope, the very high drop from its end would smash your bike and you into the pavement! :'( :'(

also i think the level of descent was far too steep to land and stay on the bike.

was a good stunt though

The next thought is I just hope those young minds who see this do not try and imitate something that is not doable!! :'( :'( :'( :o :o

I was on top of a bcycle for many many years..

inclination angle and landing angles are different.. their speed also dont match the height.. fake..

No one would even try that without a lot of protective gear, which they didn't have......

When i saw the title i was hoping for some thing completely different. Arh well ::) ::) ::) ::)

Oh & the video clip= fake, that's a good 60+ ft & there's no way to escape injury unless you're very fortunate.

That's the same building that was in a Jacky Chan film.He went down the same slope.

I would say real, Jackie Chang went down there in one of He's film. He would have done it for real as He does all He's own stunts.

As Guffer says, no protective gear whatsoever. You wouldn't even attempt it in the nonchalant way that these two do - IN THE DARK!! Fake by a mile  ;)

The Jury's still out at our house, but it looks implausable to me, so Fake! ;)

I would also say fake, no protective gear and the bikes would not hold the impact at the bottom of the long drop.
Yep that was the same building as in the jackie chan film.
