    [Photo Feature]: Stunt Performance at the Lyon Motorcycle Expo

    The Lyon Motorcycle Expo, entitled Salon du 2 roues, took place on the 6, 7 and 8 March, 2009. During the expo, two days of stunting was hosted by the organisers and the participants of the stunt programme were world renowned Jean-Pierre GOY, Christophe de Duke Acrobatie and Kevin Carmichael. , a member of the earlier xBhp had the good fortune of being at the Expo and the stunt shows. She sent down the photographs to India for them to be shown in India. I will be showing the photographs of the Expo as well shortly. But in the meanwhile, I am posting some of the photographs of the stunt show by the professional stunters.

    I begin my photo feature with the photographs of Jean-Pierre GOY, my favourite, and for those members who are not acquainted with this great man can have a look at the article by clicking below:
    Interview with Jean Pierre Goy - xBhp.com : The Global Indian Biking Community
    http://www.xbhp.com/talkies/hard-torque/6070-interview-jean-pierre-goy.html
    Hard Torque is the editorial section of xBhp where selected members pen down what they think about a particular issue related to bikes or biking.

    WARNING: All stunts performed by professionals. Not to be imitated by the uninitiated and always use safe riding gear.

      Thanks for the speedy approval.

      I had thought of this section but I was not sure since it says "your photographs of stunts"!

          Frankly, even I was a little confused but since the actual topic is about stunts, I guess it should go under 'The Stunter' section.

          Nothing to take away from the actual stunts, but the crowd presence is amazing, and the way the whole crowd is maintained is really heartening. Also, it seems to be a real good, well co-ordinated Expo, whereby not only are there professional stunters performing with PROPER riding gears, but the venue also has a 'Snack Bar'! Tremendous!

            Yes, I was also amazed at the crowd presence and from what I have heard, it is amazing to see crowd appreciation and willing participation as well which you can see from some reactions...

            I have a yearning desire to see one such event up close. Yes, this is a yearly Expo which I am preparing to put up shortly as I have mentionned.

                Here's hoping that our indigenous stunters reach such levels of professionalism soon !

                  Thanks for the appreciation.

                  There are talented people amongst indigenous stunters as well. But it is not something which is considered a "good" thing. These are cultural differences. If you check, you will see that there are governing bodies for Motorcycle stunters. Space is given to them for practising and developping this as an art form and innovating newer stunts! We are a FAR cry from that at this moment. Whatever our stunters do, they do it purely on personal efforts, with almost no or little help from others, and in hiding coz one might end up in jail! Coz our culture does not provide the space, metaphorical and real, to develop such forms.

                          The Stunt was amazing good to see the pics as well and some of the daring stunts..
                          these could be seeen in india also but the only thing i likd in the pics was the crowd management and the rider fully equipped with riding gears!!

                          This thread shud give some sense of stunting to all those idiots who can perform theese stunts,to atleast wear all the riding gears!

                          @Ken ChaCha: Thanks for the Pics along with a neat write up! enjoyed going thru it!

                              Nabendu, I enjoyed your appreciation. Just because they are world famous stunters does not mean that they would not wear riding gear. I was reading an interview wherein I read that they participate in Motocross regularly and every year, despite riding gear, they break a bone once a year!!!
