YOU may not have heard of Mitchell Pierce, but we guarantee you'll be a fan of his after watching this video. The 22-year old former flat-tracker and AMA wildcard has got big balls and loads of potential. Let's hope we see him in the top flight, drifting it like this.

I don't think he's pegged he ain't on a flat-tracker any more there. Damn colossal balls that guy's got!

Drifting a bike is great but in the real racing world the tyres are going to suffer!

I've never seen Rossi doing that shite so I would say that dirt track racing on a circuit is head up yer own arse and won't be winning any GP world championships anytime soon. 

Fair play, racers have done that before but it's nowt new is it?

P.S. my mate Mike would kick his arse if he started that malarkey!!!

Rossi may be doing it this year with the changes to the bikes recently outlined, No more traction control HAHAHAHAHHAA

looks like a track day in Hyde Park - crap track to play on - like a low(er) budget Lydden.

The guy is good, but is it relevant to going really really fast? yes and no, only a race will tell, which is after all exactly what they are designed for.....to cut through the bullshit and bravado.

as far as MotoGP goes - they havent banned traction control have they? - it's launch control and suspension adjustment thats gone methinks....

There's a nipper near me who can do all that and more. Mind you, judging by the state of his gixxer, it's ended in tears more than once.
