Kids, don't practice your stoppie technique on a public road. http://www.viddler.com/failblog/videos/2675/

I watched it a couple o' times and after having done so didn't understand the point. One vehicle stops, the other one doesn't. Okay!
Live to love, love to live.

There was no skill in any of the vehicles involved in this video. 
Always remember to be yourself. Unless you suck. Then pretend to be someone else.

I think the point is that this a-hole was practicing a stoppie on a public street, didn't check his mirrors, and the van had to swerve out of the way to avoid missing him.

Yeah, that WAS funny! 
Though, I was thinkin' how fortunate that dude was that he was doin' that in some far off Asian land!
(...'cause if that would've happen HERE, that dude's finally view would've been of the undercarriage of some enormous SUV!!!)
Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

Its all fun and games till some one runs off the road into a fence.
I have no faith in human perfectability. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active - not more happy - nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago.

I never could understand all that anyway. If you want to ride a unicycle, why not just buy one in the first place?

I tell you what though, if some jackass is doing dumb stunts on a public road, the LAST thing I'd be doing is crashing my own vehicle to avoid him. He better hope he has a helmet at least.

You know you wouldn't run over a fellow bike no matter what idiotic thing he was doing. You might drag him off his bike and give him hell.

I love how the driver of the van has his(her?) hands on their hips at end as if to say "oh no you didn't".
