My favorite trick to do is splitting lanes and swerving through traffic. I just always make sure that it's not the traffic that's stopping for me, it's me maneuvering through it.

In Nebraska? Walmart parking lot? I do that here too. Can't find more than 10 cars at once anywhere else.

Will it have a submit your wrecks section? My favorite part of Warren Miller movies were the fixed (hey, on topic) camera wrecks. Amateurs hucking themselves down the Widowmaker for the camera. Movie gold.

Foot over-lighting smoke-no handed 180-talking on cellphone-to trackstand in front of your girlfriend.

Actually, I do find it fun to hang out with dudes on trials bikes and pop the front up on stuff and trackstand/hop around. Falling hurts more on the trackbike than the trials tho.
