So after driving around the streets of Ho Chi Minh and seeing some crazy stuff, Lauren and I decided to create some of our own.  Now I will give you this warning, do not try this at home, we are trained professionals and are skilled in this art form.

So we cruised over to District 7 and found an empty car park to work our magic.  We had some practices and Huy was a camera person.  We also had a small crowd watching us, couples, taxi drivers and a security guard.  I thought the security guard was a good addition especially if the crowd got out of control etc.  This was the park and Lauren “psyching” herself up.  I got myself in the zone by revving my 110 cc engine loudly.

So we had two routines that we performed to perfection.  The first was being towed behind Oscar (my motorbike) on a skate board. We got up to 20 km/hr, which doesn’t sound that fast, but it is!

Skating

We also did a maneuver known as the Launch

The Launch

Now the other routine is inspired by the way women who sit on the motorbike when wearing a skirt or dress, they sit side saddle.  This is harder than it looks and it is also harder for the driver because of the weight distribution. We have named it “Riding like a lady”.  However due to the R rating of this video it could not be posted here, however there is one photo.

And here is the crew that made this possible, left to right, Huy, Julie and Lauren.

We had a lot of laughs doing this and provided entertainment for the spectators.  Got to love Vietnam.
