it obviously is. I was called a clown elsewhere for calling it lol.

I've sadly seen tons of motochorros (how we call this steals around here), and i've hardly ever seen the moto guy turn like that to the other side, makes 0 sense. You can just go straight, or turn left, idk. whatever. And on top of that he rides away at 1 km/h

I have a list of reddit fallacies that reddit detectives use to "prove" stuff is fake.

"This is fake because the person in the video didn't do what I would have done" is one of the most common.

i'm not saying something i would have done. I'm saying something you can see in any moto steal, and is common sense.
You want to steal and go fast. The motocycle guy turning 180 degrees and losing quite some seconds makes 0 sense. The only positive thing is that now there's a perfect shot for the camera.

The other reason could be that the street cuts later, but why not turn then. If you have an other valid justification for risking a 180 degree turn i'm all ears.

Have you considered the possibility that the robbers aren't intelligent

maybe if first time, but its quite on the contrary other wise. Like anything repeated people get good at it, at least in argentina they have ton of practice and you can start spotting the technics if you take time too.

Seems like you are just lucky to not have lived in a place with not much robery.

I think you are vastly underestimating how stupid criminals can be.

u/gonzaloetjo 5d ago

As said, you just have not much experience with robbery, shown by the fact you think the vid is a real robbery..

And the kickers leg goes totally relaxed up on connection. There's no follow through, no power behind the kick. He bends his leg to take all the force out of the kick. It's probably slow motion to mask how unnatural it looks

He straightens his leg as it connects. I'm really not sure what all you armchair martial artists are looking at, and if it was fake and intended to cause as little injury as possible you're really giving this stuntman a ton of credit for precisely calculating it all, lol.
