Idaho motorcyclist crashes while doing wheelie on I-84 in Boise

A motorcyclist got instant karma when the rider decided to try to showcase his skills and perform a wheelie on a crowded freeway in Idaho.

It happened on September 9 on Interstate 84 in Boise, when a group of riders were performing death-defying stunts on their bikes, weaving through traffic before one rider wiped out, the Idaho State Police said in a post on social media.

In the video posted by the department, two riders surrounded by cars take turns popping wheelies as traffic moves around them.

One rider then loses control and gets dumped onto the asphalt in the middle of traffic.

The video then cuts out, with the last shot showing the rider on the asphalt.

The police said the rider amazingly survived the crash.

“Thankfully, the rider was cleared by medical personnel at the scene,” cops said.

“Both motorcyclists were cited for reckless driving. This could have ended much worse.”

“Enjoy the remaining riding weather, but ride responsibly. Reckless driving puts everyone on the road at risk,” police added.

People piled into the comments to roast the rider.

“Should have let it play longer. It was just getting good!” one person wrote.

“Asphalt. The permanent tattoo remover!” another added.

“Well, Darwin certainly comes to mind here,” a third person wrote.

Others pointed out how lucky the motorcyclist was that he didn’t get hurt worse.

“He’s very lucky that pickup behind him didn’t run right over top of him!” one commenter wrote.

“Should have impounded the bikes and arrested them. Could have caused a major pile up,” another added.

It is unclear how fast the riders were going.
