A wheelie too? Impressive!

it's not a "grind" if the wheel is turning...but it was a cool wheelie.

Hilarious. Perhaps the best such compilation I've ever seen. So many WTFs uttered. I mean, free fall into a folding chair from the bleachers? How did you expect that to end well?

However, a few were rather tame -- knocking over a Christmas tree, for instance. And I think the belly flop into the wall at 8:10 went exactly as intended and probably didn't hurt much. Likewise for the PVC hanger thing destroyed in the lawn at 3:34. The snow bank (unintentional?) wheelie was frankly awesome. The guy who failed the fence flip at 7:12 was even laughing at himself. These things are still funny, but "extreme idiots" seems a bit harsh.

Having someone sitting behind the rear wheel would actually make it easier to wheelie..

he's also a skilled pilot and flies around in his own twin-engine turboprop>> ^oritteropo:

I met him once in the 80s, when he was visiting my neighbour. He demonstrated how to do a wheelie on my farm motorbike... but I never managed it. I suspect that it was easier for someone heavier than I was.
I think they persuaded him to get out his trumpet, too.

Fail videos are so ubiquitous that one can usually predict the outcome based upon the setting and props involved. Ramp/pond/bike, guy on roof/folding table on ground, skateboard/stairs, skateboard/park bench/handrail, skateboard/steep hill, merry-go-round/motorcycle, large group of people posing for picture/dock/platform/stage, rope swing/lake, rally car/rally, idiot(s)/fire, idiot(s)/fireworks, concert/stage diver, cat/slippery counter, dog/slippery floor, pickup truck/guy riding something attached to pickup by a rope, park/parkourer parkourering, motorcycle/ramp, motorcycle/wheelie, poser/posing with animal, person buried in sand/dog, inattentive jogger/signpost, ridiculously expensive luxury car/just drivin' down the road, car/trolley, car/bus, car/train gate, car/other traffic control devices, singer/national anthem... etc.

I still like watching them, though. The misfortune of others can be very entertaining (as long as no one gets seriously hurt).

No apology needed! I had just posted that xkcd cartoon on my facebook page the other day, so I am well aware of the intensity of the need to fix the internet!

This whole thing cracks me up, actually.

Clearly, it doesn't take much to amuse me.

And that's "ma'am" to you, buster.

(Ha!)

I apologize if I had a terse tone. I was more just pointing out the information in the second provided video supports and confirms my claim. Was not my intention to sound like an ass or bring you in on it in any way sir. I think I was, however, in full XKCD mode; which is why I missed the humor in the line. My apologies.

@<a rel="nofollow" href="http://videosift.com/member/Bloodscourge" title="member since March 20th, 2012" class="profilelink">Bloodscourge -- I was making a joke. Clearly those aren't wheelie shoes. I don't know if the shoes are the same as the super moonwalking shoes. They look the same to me.

A joke isn't funny if you have to explain it. My bad.

@A10anis - Just a heads up.

Actually you just proved they aren't wheeled shoes. The videosift title says they are, but it's incorrect. Put the video you linked in 720p and go max screen, you notice the Nike Swoosh on each shoe. Nike DOES NOT MAKE WHEELED SHOES!!!!

You notice the green one, where it's a black outline with the swoosh inside of it, you notice he is wearing that same shoe pair in this video. So thank you for actually proving me right. I couldn't see what kind of shoe he was wearing in the original video, this confirmed it.

Here are the shoes he is wearing. Nike Free Run +3.

TL;DR = Nike doesn't make Wheel shows, dude is wearing Nike.

*eia 215km/h wheelie and 280km/h into oncoming traffic.

Now that's a WHEELIE! =oO
