Getting Airborne On A Supermoto… And A Chopper + Video

Supermotos. Essentially dirtbikes with street tires, we’re used to seeing SuMos sliding into corners, doing wheelies, and generally being machines we all want to get if we were allowed to let our inner hooligan out. But we sometimes forget another area dirtbikes excel at: Jumping. Here, we see a brave (courageous? stupid?) Swedish SM rider give us a reminder that supermotos can catch air, too, clearing five bikes with room to clear probably another two.

But wait, there’s more! After this entertaining feat, another rider attempts the same trick… on a cruiser! The result? Well, see for yourself.

Troy's been riding motorcycles and writing about them since 2006, getting his start at Rider Magazine. From there, he moved to Sport Rider Magazine before finally landing at Motorcycle.com in 2011. A lifelong gearhead who didn't fully immerse himself in motorcycles until his teenage years, Troy's interests have always been in technology, performance, and going fast. Naturally, racing was the perfect avenue to combine all three. Troy has been racing nearly as long as he's been riding and has competed at the AMA national level. He's also won multiple club races throughout the country, culminating in a Utah Sport Bike Association championship in 2011. He has been invited as a guest instructor for the Yamaha Champions Riding School, and when he's not out riding, he's either wrenching on bikes or watching MotoGP.
