what is this incredible music playing?
groovy, but i prefer guys doing double back flips while flying fifty feet in the air
Reminds me of the RCMP doing this on horse.
This is the video that made Kim Jong-Il stroke out.
Reminds me of the scene from Meet John Doe where the fascist industrialist shows off his private army of cops.
You can find it on YouTube here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VvvB8jJqrLU - around the 5:00 mark.
That was completely and utterly fantastic. Thank you Boing Boing, you made my day.
Reminds me of tractor square dancing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6WxyzS0vCME

Triumph of the Wheel? Moda Italiana.
Hello Mr Pescovitz,
thanks for posting those beautiful sequences of sync moto-riding.
Only, I would like to be pedantic and point out that at 0:11 you can see some officials looking solemnly on, and the third from the left I believe is Giovanni Leone, at the time presidente della Repubblica. If correct, this would date the video between 1971 and 1978, Mr Leone's period of office.
I dare say the Corazzieri guards (tall fellows with ornate uniforms, you can see one in the background at 0:11) confirm the presence of a president, and at 0:57 Mr Leone appears again right in the middle of the image, a focus of attention. Not as much as the riders anyway...
Best regards,

Whadoyaknow. Cops are good for something after all.
