if i was the guy with the vette. i would have given the check back, kept the vette, fixed the belt. then come back and beat his ***. ithink that car would have beaten that chevelle....... basically back to square one. oh and the dump on the bike was priceless.... (show off) once he wasn't hurt bad

Yea I agree. They showed him take off and I said to my self (Watch him get on it around this bend and kick the *** end out) and then he did and couldn’t recover from it and dropped the bike they went to commercial..... I stood there in shock and was like NO HE DIDNT!!! I busted out loud laughing and couldn’t stop... I thought that was the best show yet....

Best Pinks ever, that was very funny. I rewound that crash like 10 times on my DVR and I saved it for future enjoyment. I have an 1100cc Sport Bike and I had a feeling he was going to dump it, you cannot take off like that unless you really know what you are doing. The way he ripped off his shirt after the crash was too funny, it looked like he was trying to redeem himself by showing off his physique. Not the sharpest knife in the drawer but he is in great shape…

I love how he says "This was the best episode of Pinks ever" and he repeats it on every episode. I have watched quite a few and most aren't worth the time of day. I think I need to take Pinks off season pass on the DVR.

One part of the show they did not put on tv, That was a borrowed bike from some guy at the track. After that one was piled up, Gavin , the Pinks announcer, asked the crowed if anyone had a bike they could use for the rest on the night.
