Hmmm...small world. I was just there (where they shot that video). That's SF Electric Tours down on Beach St in SF! I didn't recognize the guy in the video though...

My wife and I were just there as well - the fellow doing the tours was rather anal aboutthe training, and that was not him in the video.

Personally, I don't see anything wrong. He was doing a stunt, and he did it well. He was also alone...

Now that I think back, I do not recall if he had a helmet or not, and that should be on a video like that, but other than that, I do not see what the buzz is all about...

A few months back, there was a tour leader who was on you-tube and was rocking back and forth, with one foot on the fender... He almost lost it, but recovered. I recall there was a huge uproar about that one also, and while I think it was bad form, ONLY because he seemed to be the tour leader, I did not understand the great posturing there either...

I happen to be a fairly conservative glider. Others are not. I see no problem with riding as you like, as long as you are not hurting anyone or infringing on another's space...

Uproar?
There is no uproar, we are just talking about the stunt.
Derrek has been doing stunts at fest that would make Tony Hawk jealous

Where do you see a uproar?

This I would like to see! But as we say in my business, "video or it never happened!"

Show me the video!
