Reminds me of one of the funniest things I ever saw.  One summer day between 5th and 6th grade my little brother, some friends, and I were hanging out with our bikes along the side of the street.  One of the neighborhood bullies approached on his Schwinn Sting Ray.  He said something to the effect of "hey pussies" as he launched into a wheelie.  His front wheel promptly fell of and there was a priceless look on his face as he tried in vain to keep the wheelie going as long as he could.  His eventual wipeout over the handlebars didn't actually hurt him that bad, but it did involve crying.  Yup, we all got to watch the bully make a fool of himself and then cry.

Even more shocking is the epic fa*i*lure of spelling.

Though I'm liking the idea of Epic Velour that it allowed me to picture.

I bet the guy forgot to undo the steering lock before trying a power takeoff in first. He's meeting pavement very soon.

I don't do bike gymnastics me self but was just wondering why he has 2 clutch levers?

    And ,--why is the fork oil coming out --its an upside down fork system. ???
I would never be a member of a cub that would have me as a member

I think the fork oil is coming out of a broken off lower fork.

The two lever thing is most likely a hand-brake lever for the rear brake.

I like how the right upper fork is just bent/bending in the picture. Nice.  :D

It looks like he was trying what they call a "Stoppie" which has gone pear shaped very quickly.
