What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas unless you’re Travis Pastrana and the Nitro Circus gang and you’re peforming at the Nitro Circus Live at the MGM Grand Arena on the June 5th.

The stunts were not only eye-opening, but mind boggling: the first synchronized double back flip by Pastrana and Cam Sinclair, the world’s first three-person back flip and much, much more, including a marriage proposal. Check out the video and get blown away like we did.

When I first read the headline I thought that crazy inventor Colin Furze was up to his old tricks again, instead this time it’s a real life Baptist reverend who set the Guinness World Record for the fastest motorcycle hearse.

The Reverend Ray Biddiss, 57 who is dubbed “Heaven’s Angel” hit the top speed of 114.1 mph with his £ 20,000 customised Triumph Rocket III engined moto-hearse, that he actually uses for funeral services. “This is for people who want to go out the way they lived” said Biddiss.

Rather than a way to enjoy a nice base jump with your dirtbike, this video is a very good lesson in how to utterly destroy your motocross bike in a motorcycle stunt. This base jump motorcycle video shows Julio Munoz in Chile get a dirtbike helicopter lifted to the top of a mountain, and then jump off a ramp into the air. He then dismounts a few thousand feet above earth and floats down while the bike hurtles towards its messier fate. See it all in the video. All we can say is, it must a freaky feeling riding off the face of the earth like that….

Can you drift as well on a bike as in a car, seems to be the questioned posed in this motorcycle stunt video from Icon of rider Nick Brocha putting a Kawasaki ZX10 around a track, drifting off the rear wheel. The challenger in the video is a Mazda RX-7 driven by Jim Guthrie and the bike has an extended swing arm to help it along. The golden quote from this video is: “We thought it would give Nick extra motivation to twist the throttle knowing a 2,400lbs car was about to run him over.” But from what we understand the “Apex”, as Brocha is known, doesn’t need any encouragement in these endeavours. The man himself describes this is a “wicked” video and the car as being “absurdly obnoxious”. They might be crazy, but there’s some fantastic imagery to be seen. Check out the video to see how it pans out.

You thought tire warmers were important only to keep your tires up to temperature and help avoid crashes?

Think again, because those great folks at On The Throttle have come up with this silly video for cooking a holiday meal with a set of tire warmers, that would make Julia Child turn over in her grave.

I wonder if works with radicchio and sausage lasagna?

If you can’t live without your motorcycle 24/7, you can even turn your own bathroom into a biking heaven with this designer faucet built like a set of handlebars and fuel tank. The clutch and brake are the hot and cold water taps and fuel tank is the water spout.

This chrome and brass faucet is the ultimate accessory for any motorcycle fan who wants to make a statement, even in his bathroom …

After the jump you can see a plug of the MFX motorcycle faucet in a video from American Thunder.

The Red Bull X-Fighters World Tour finished last Saturday in Rome and the Italians pulled Nicola Campobbasso out of their bag of tricks for the day. Nicola is also known as the ‘impennatore’ or ‘wheeler’ in the sense of one-wheel stunts, and is particularly famous for the kind of Vespa stunts he can pull off on his bike. The photo above is definitely worth a photo of the day status.

Nicola was out to entertain the crowds with a few wheelies and some stunts with both wheels on the ground, but as it seems he’s capable of more, he let his imagination do the rest. After the jump is a video of the highlights of the final round of the world freestyle championships. We don’t actually get to see Nicola but for the rest…. did we mention the words show ponies?

Never ride a motorcycle in Russia. That’s the lesson we’ve taken from this video and while it would be morbid to take bets on how long this motorcyclist will live, the guy is clearly a total nutcase. The Yamaha R1 might be one of the fastest bikes around but when you ride like an idiot, it won’t do much for your invincibility. We can’t figure out which is more dangerous in this crazy motorcycle video - the wheelies with oncoming traffic or the high speed dodging of cars that are turning corners.

Clearly someone who thinks they’re a hotshot. The music (a kind of techno version of Stravinsky) combines with a caption that apparently reads: “A couple minutes of my life could be more interesting than the whole life of the other people.” We hope that this particular rider is truly a one-off fool….

Do you dream of being Steve McQueen? If so, you’ll need this McQueen memorabilia product to get where you what to be - or at least to smell like what the man himself probably didn’t smell like at all. Introducing the McQueen cologne, now available online at the cost of a hefty 190 euros.

The McQueen perfume is apparently a mix of fresh green fruit, cardamom, sage and cinnamon with base notes of woody cedar all designed to encapsulate what “cool” is. It comes in a limited edition gift box and if you don’t like it, or your lady doesn’t like it, that’s going to be a real bummer at the above cost.

And from the female perspective - a mere cologne would never work for me anyway. Call me fussy, but “cool” is so much more than that. For more information, or to order yours, go to stevemcqueen-perfumes.com. If you do happen to order one, we would be really keen to know how cool you feel once you’ve sprayed yourself in this, so please - let us know!

Are you a die-hard Rossi fan? Planning on getting married soon? If yes, then newly weds Mr and Mrs Bowen have some news for you. On recently getting married, they got palladium wedding rings which, as it just so happens, are made of the metal with an atomic number of 46. It could just be a new trend in wedding bands or it could be a deliberate attempt to get some sort of a Rossi tribute into their wedding celebrations without going too kitsch. I’m not a chemistry expert, but for those of you interested an ‘atomic number’ is: the number of protons found in the nucleus of an atom and therefore identical to the charge number of the nucleus. According to Wikipedia. So now you can all go silly with comments about Rossi’s atoms, protons and charges. In the meantime we think there could be a merchandising opportunity in here somewhere for Ducati….
