Abandoned Jailhouse Proves to Be the Perfect Scenery for Motorcycle Tricks

If we’re talking about action clips showing cool tricks or downright dangerous and crazy stunts, there is one thing you can be absolutely sure of: somewhere, somehow, one or more GoPros are definitely involved.
In this case, the clip itself is sponsored by the company making the action camera of the hour, so that’s no surprise. After all, even when talking about sponsorships for this sort of videos, there aren’t that many options: it’s either GoPro or one of the energy drink brands.

In this clip here, it’s all about the setting. There’s something some of us find strangely attractive about abandoned buildings, something we can’t really explain, but I’m sure there’s a medical condition that can. I wonder if they also have pills for it.

It probably has to do with using your imagination. In a new, spotless building, the eye of your mind can rest as there’s nothing for it to see beyond it; in one that’s been out of service for quite some time, it’s up to the one exploring it to imagine what it must have been like back when there were people there minding their own business.

Well, this used to be a jail, so the people inhabiting it weren’t exactly renowned for being discreet, but you get the drift. The buildings have stories, and even though there are no words on the walls, that doesn’t mean you can’t still read them if you pay enough attention. Besides, visiting an abandoned jailhouse is a lot better than seeing an active one from the inside, right?

The two guys in the clip took the motorized tour option, climbing on their bikes and making the most of the tight spaces and the dreadful yet beautiful backdrop. There’s something odd and inexplicably pleasant about seeing a vehicle indoors, as if it’s breaking the law or something and getting away with it.

We’re not going to comment on the tricks performed by JasonPullenStunts and VegasStunts because, as we’ve said, it’s not about the stunts per se, but the atmosphere: where they do it and how it’s filmed.
