Ghostrider

[Spie]

What's the deal with this dude? Is he dead or alive?

Are his Youtube videos genuine? If so he's one dangerous but highly skilled rider.

 

[Kavalree]

Yes, he is genuine, and IIRC he is from Sweden?

 

[Spie]

Yeah Sweden features in most of his videos. But who is he?

 

[Von Smallhausen]

He is a Swedish fella with some of the most sublime skills I have seen. He is still going as far as I know.

The sight of him leaving two police Volvos trailing in his wake while he is on one wheel is just amazing.

I have heard the rumour, and I must stress it is just a rumour, that he is a Swedish cop.

To my knowledge, his real identity isn't known.

 

[Von Smallhausen]

About 50 seconds in. Leaving the cops standing while on one wheel.

 

[Busa]

...i would never condone such behaviour!

 

[Spie]

His exploits are so high profile I'm amazed his identity is still secret. Maybe he's a Swedish freemason

Na, just that nobody's caught him yet

 

[Spie]

This is one of my favourites.

170mph wheelies through traffic is stupidly dangerous, but you cannot help but admire the guy's skill

 

[cyclops12]

He's alive
not sure if he went but he was supposed to be at the World speed wheelie records event at Elvington end of last year

 

[cyclops12]

His name is Patrick Furstenhof

Not sure if this is him, but another nutter:

Ah, that guy also appeared at the end of "Stupid Riding" tagged as Ghost Rider. I think it was something also related to Wheelie's.

Which one ? rothwell is a stunt rider ive seen him over the IOM a couple of time's

Patrick Furstenhof is part of a wheelie team and im not 100% but i think he hold's the wheelie record at just over 200 mph

Sorry I should have said Patrick Furstenhof, he looks different in Stupid Riding but I believe that was only filmed in the last few years.

To hold a wheelie record at anything around 200mph sounds pretty insane!

God I hated those muppets on that video, sure they had some skill, but going up to the supposed 'Ghost Rider' and challenging him to a road race - ****s

 

[cyclops12]

Just went and looked and yes it was him

here's his site

I am struggling to see how doing a wheelie with a police vehicle in pursuit can be staged.

Either way, I am still in awe at his skills. Interesting to know his real identity as well. I didn't know that.
