LOL, The few times I've showed it to buddies that stop by I get the biggest laugh at the purge sequence, skinny dude with big ole helmet giving the bird-shaking his head and purging the scooter.

Fake or not, funny as helll!!

Play it in slow motion and you can see that the video is just sped up. You can see when the scooter "launches" it swerves in a way that would be impossible to recover from if going as fast as the video makes it seem.

I never gave the thought of the scooter beating the car, I just thought the principal of the whole video was really funny. Since that bird was juicin and they're pretty quick from the factory, a guy with only a helmet would be plain stupid trying to go that fast on a scooter like that!!
