Roland Sands Jumps Basin in Nitro Circus II

Tuesday, December 01, 2009
One of the things I admire most about custom motorcycle builder Roland Sands is that he doesn't hesitate to throttle his own creations. Got to give him credit, Sands can ride like a madman. 

The crew from RSD got a play day in the concrete confines of the LA drainage system. Check out this video of Roland and friends throwin’ down some wheelies, stoppies, and old school jumps on vintage RSD originals.
 
Pepper, the goggle-wearing, self-professed Mayor of Skid Row, makes a fine narrator for the piece. Throw in some funky beats to accompany the action, and you’ve got three and half minutes of mindless indulgence.

Jumping the lovely flowing waters of LA street drainage on homemade ramps is insane in the first place. Doing it on a heavyweight cruiser with a short run and landing makes it over the top. The wheelie on the slanted wall of the ditch is a sweet shot, too.

Featuring Andy Bell on Dusty and Roland Sands on Hammerhead. Kids, don’t try this at home.

Tim B - Cool, but who is "Pepper"?  December 3, 2009 12:28 PM
Did "Pepper" say 400 XL Kawasaki?

Wait, was that bike front wheel drive?

I saw the basin jumping on the show and I was impressed. Roland makes some of the nicest custom bikes on the planet. They're custom, but they're very sporty and you can actually ride them unlike the 8 feet long, dime a dozen choppers. He has a ton of riding skills too. I'm not sure people realize how hard it is to wheelie on an off-camber slope like that!
