Motorcycles and an unexpected love story- my eyes welled up with tears at the end and simply because the content in this video is everything I love.

Men love ladies who can RIDE!
No idea what this madness is from but… WHO JUMPS A DIRTBIKE INTO A RIVER?! UPDATE: See the 130ft/40m MotoCross Base Jump video here.
Insane.

Leah Petersen (aka Leah Stunts) is a stuntin’ motolady with heaps of talent and an equal amount of follow through. Not only does she wrench on her own bikes and manage her own social media, but she’s also the creative director and co-owner at Stuntbums. Hell, she even rides for Icon, and looks pretty amazing while doing it.
Remembering exactly when I first came across Leah’s photos is practically impossible, but I know it was through Icon. Her spread eagle wheelie photo in Hella boots (the wedgy heeled ones) definitely caught my attention. Now it’s time for a little bit of Leah wisdom.

This is awesome! Icon’s Jason Britton made a loving Mother’s Day message the stunter way!
Good morning! Here’s an uplifting shot from a motorcycle festival in Toodyay, historial Australian town.
Leah Petersen and her mom on Mother’s Day in 2010.
Happy Mother’s day! For the motolady mothers out there, I salute you. And for the men, go hug your mom.
May we all be in perfect balance today.
There is something really amazing about synchronized stunting. Yay, gymkhana.
