Watch what Gary Rothwell can do behind his specially prepared Suzuki Hayabusa GSX 1300R. The English stunt rider wearing custom boots with 2mm titanium slider soles hit the speed of 251,54 km/h to break another of those strange Guinness World Records.

Check out the the number of stunts that Russian FMX rider Alexey Kolesnikov performed over a truck . You’ll probably be saying what’s so unusual about the trick, it’s been done thousands of times.

The trick is that the 8.5 ton Kamaz truck driven by Vladimir Chagin, this year’s 2010 Dakar winner isn’t parked, that would have been too easy, but is jumping simultanously with Koleniskov and that’s the uniqueness of these stunts.

The height of the ramp was 2.75 meters, the gap from the separation point to the landing - 12 meters, which corresponds to a height of four-store house, and KAMAZ’ rig’s speed right before the jump was 60 km/hour and sailed through the air for a total of 28 feet, while Kolesnikov launched himself from a nine-foot ramp and travelled a full 69 feet.

The guys at SpotMotorcycles.com are putting together a complete guide to rocket motorcycles, starting with a historic perspective of some of the experiments undertaken in the 1930’s. Their story starts with Fritz von Opel attaching rockets to motor vehicles, only to have his inventions banned after trial runs in 1928, and continues through crazy rocket bicycles and the inventions of Archibald Low.

After World War II, rocket motorcycles became famous with the rocket jump over 27 buses completed by Rick Rojatt, the Human Fly, in 1977. And finishing the story of rocket motorcycles of the past wouldn’t be complete without mentioning Evel Kneival, perhaps the world’s most pioneering stuntman.

The story of rocket motorcycles continues to present-day drag bike records and the artist visions for the fatest bikes of the future. But we love the old pictures of dare devil stuff from days when they didn’t have half the technology or safety gear they’ve got now. For the full articles and story, check out SpotMotorcycles.

Stunt rider Chris Pfeiffer is heading on a world tour with Red Bull and the first stop was the city of Colombo in Sri Lanka, where he delighted the crowds with burn outs, wheelies and stoppies.

We all know Pfeiffer is simply awesome performing motorcycle stunts on a F800 R, but check out how he also wowed fans by using a simple bicycle backwards up.

These two girls are really pretty good at what they do and while accidents do happen while training and performing, these girls just don’t have the right safety riding gear on to do motorcycle stunts, unless you think that the sight of road rash on a body is a turn on, then you have to think again.

Here is a stunt ride video of the BMW S1000RR with Chris “Teach” McNeil, to check out the stunting capacity of the new BMW superbike. You’d want to be a confident rider to pull some of these moves, and know that you didn’t necessarily have to return the bike in one piece at the end of the day…

Everyone would like to go down in history and have their fifteen minutes of fame and end up on TV and on YouTube. So check out this video from the show Record Breakers where a rider with 12 other people hanging on, attempts to pop a wheelie.

The wheelie lasts about a nano second, but they say it’s a World Record, so kudos to them, but we prefer the guy who makes a pizza while riding a motorcyle as an unusual stunt.

Travis Pastrana and Robbie Maddison move over because there’s a new stunt rider on the block and he is very good, very cool besides being very cute to watch.

Does this qualify him for some sort of Guinness World Record for hamster stunts?

No wheelies or stoppies for this type of stunt riding. Pizzaiolo (pizza baker) Gerold Morandell, who in the German TV program Wetten, dass …? bets that he can ride a motorcycle, make a pizza from scratch, cook it in a mini oven and deliver it to the studio all in five minutes, and while he’s motoring around he also makes a caprese and pours a glass of red wine.

Morandell won his Pizza Express bet, while Swiss-Italian showgirl Michelle Hunziker bins her white Vespa entering the studio.

Now we know where we can order our hot pizza next time.

This has to be the strangest stunt competition we’ve seen so far. It takes place in an exclusive Lebanese yacht club and you get a miserly thousand bucks if you jumb farther than anyone else, but the weirdest thing is you land directly in water, ruining your motorbike.

We wonder what it cost to pull out all those 25 bikes from the sea bed.
