SEGMENT SYNOPSIS

EPISODE #8: SUPER BIKES

It's a biking bonanza on PMK when Tyler gets the lucky chance to hop on the back of the brand new Lean and Slide Bike. This ultra-modern mean riding machine is like a motorcycle only it has very cool high-tech wheels so you can whip around corners at record speeds without worrying about crashing. Pushing the bike and himself to its limits is the kind of awesome adventure Tyler really enjoys.

Vanessa is a motorcycle daredevil for a day when she heads to a five-mile racetrack to find out how the biker pros do the tricky stuff on the backs of their bikes.

First, she'll check out her bike to make sure the tires, brakes and clutch are all in safe working order. Then she'll help the guys prepare and rig a real fireball explosion, which she'll set off during a jump. She'll even get a chance to work the crane, which lifts the ramps while making sure the safety bolts are held in place. After all her hard work, the bikers will let her ride on the back of a souped-up bike while they pull a wheelie sending the bike flying over incredible distances.

And if you want your regular two-wheeler bike to look and sound like a super-bike, pay attention this week when Charlie tells us how to get those spokes to rattle like the wheels of a real motorcycle.
