The Purple Helmets. Comedy "stunt riding".

ha ha ha. Im mates with one of the guys, jim - third guy in the vid who does the Ok signal, that does this. Used to see them before we moved off the island. They are a great bunch of lads and always a source of entertainment at the TT :D
 
I had to watch the whole thing, and now all I can think about is how fun it'd be to stand up and hop across like 7 different motorcycles, and then walk back across them again haha. I'm not a stunt rider, but did a lot of dirtbike/4wheeling as a kid and for some reason I just can't stop thinking about how fun it'd be to hang with those guys for one of those shows. I know that "modern" stunt riders are pretty hardcore, but this is an entirely different style, almost like they're putting on a broadway show if that makes any sense. Appreciate the link.

It's a parody of the White Helmets, which really is like Broadway on bikes. OK, more like a Vegas show on bikes. If Evel Kneivel cloned into about 20 guys, that's the White Helmets. Totally rad.

Purple Helmets is totally brilliant, loved the link!
