By Jarod DeAnda,

A few weeks ago on Rob Dyrdek’s Fanstasy Factory they introduced a majority of the world to the sidehack BMX bike, seen here or take a look at the Impakt Bicycles sidehacks on the official website HERE
On the episode they talk about “Respecting your monkey and trusting your pilot”, monkey=sidecar dude and pilot is the guy steering…

Now take a look at the Isle of Man TT, this is annual event of motorcycles racing across the land they have single rider motorcycles but taking respecting the monkey to a WHOLE NEW LEVEL are the sidecar motorcycles!!!!!!!!!
Here’s a couple videos and images, seriously Isle of Man TT is such a gnarly event, get educated and respect ISLE OF MAN TT!!!!

Sidecar “on board” nuts!

As seen on REBEL8.com Mike Giant will take some appt’s with some stipulations!!!!

Want a tattoo from me? Well, now might be your chance. I’m currently taking on new black and grey projects at $300 an hour with a one hour minimum. And $350 an hour for color since I’m colorblind. Also, I won’t do anything that takes more than 3 hours to complete. I don’t want to start any more big stuff. I only want to do tattoos I can finish in one sitting. If you’re game, please EMAIL mike@mikegiant.com. Thanks!
