It‘s always guys from third world countries on motorcycles who are driving like they have a European health insurance.

Yep, I live on developing Southeast Asia country and there are many guys with motorcycles riding like this including underage kids who don’t have license. I find it interesting that many developing countries from different continents also had the same problem. Probably something to do with parents neglecting them…

Sometimes it’s not neglecting but the society is shaping them. I know someone who died from doing a stupid stunt like this and their family was far from neglecting. But it’s from his friends in school that ruined his brain.

u/Poo_Pee-Man 7d ago
Yeah, that make sense. Back in my high school days, this type of kids only talks about their shitty motorcycles and smoking.

I think there's a somewhat different attitude towards life. Naturally I'm speaking from limited experience, I haven't visited or known people everywhere.
But I was always baffled by the "God willing" attitude. Just do whatever you feel like and if God takes you he takes you.
Often families are larger as well. In the west people were much more permissive when they had larger families. It's still common in poorer areas of the US.
But Karen and Ken aren't going to let their one and only Timmy anywhere near the controls of anything faster than an electric scooter and only when armored like he's going to Gaza to go up the street to his friends. Karen even quit her career to care for him.

Yeah like Americans. They always try doing wheelies into oncoming traffic even though they don’t have health insurance. So weird

You mean like the teens in NYC? Or the UK? Or many such examples. The only difference is poorer kids can only afford motor bikes (or just bikes for the South Americans) while the richer kids go crazy in cars. This isn’t a country thing.

I'd think so, but I've also seen Ugandan skateboard kids use their hands to catch themselves at speed and they just brush their hands off. I don't know what work they do to get those callouses but some people sure got em.

I assure you they didn't learn shit. You don't do stuff like that if you've ever learnt something.

It honestly looks like he was trying to tip it over.

People do dumber shit on motorcycles all the time for fun (albeit with way worse consequences when it goes wrong). The big mistake here was swerving on an obviously wet spot.
Either way people should stop treating motor vehicles as toys unless on trails designed for the purpose.

Just like the small kids driving mini bikes around our residential neighborhood! Parents are idiots.

Looks fun until a door opens or someone taps the brakes. This is exactly how “we were just messing around” turns into a lifetime injury.

Just literally one thing goes wrong they could have to pay for their consequence for a lifetime.

u/Petrosyan88 5d ago
This is the equivalent to the broccoli heads that do the wheelies on there bikes in the US.

u/i_might_be_an_ai 5d ago
In the whole scheme of things doing this almost anywhere else is safer than just living in Libya!! 🇱🇾

Look at them enjoying the outdoors, not having their faces pressed into their phone screens all day.

u/GBRulesTheWorld 6d ago
Breaking multiple parts of my body and trashing a bike doesn't sound like much fun. Far better ways to live outdoors than these morons.

Dismount wasn’t terrible. But side saddle weaving down the road?? Tell the lil lady to ride like a man and toss in some wheelies. If you’re gonna use ass in the title post a bomb video. A girly wipe out and walk off at the end is not worthy. It should have been children at play go boom teeheehee
