Kamen Rider Kuuga General Discussion Thread

That's what it was. Trial bikes. Too bad we don't get more Gas Gas bikes for Kamen Rider.

Trial bikes are perfect for the bike fu we get in Kuuga.

 

[Smilodon]

Yeah, I wish we would go back to when we had, you know, actual bike stunts. Granted, with bikes like Machine Decader, Hardboiler, and RideVender, its hard to do stunts without CGI.

I wonder if bike stunts are done by Takaiwa and co. or have specific bike stunt men, like Kuuga did.

 

[Ranmyaku]

BeatChaser looks cooler.

Plus, Didn't they design it with the Gouram in mind?

They designed it so it would last a lot longer with Gouram.

Vehicular stunts have always been mostly handled by non-JAE groups (the credit I usually always see is for the Takeshi Racing group), so what Takaiwa does on the bike is most likely minimal. The difference with Kuuga was that they got known pro-riders, wasn't it?

Suzuki bikes also helped. (Kuuga was the last Rider with a Suzuki, wasn't he? I can't quite recall.) I've noticed bike action has been disappointing ever since they switched to Honda's big ugly car-bike eyesore things.

Well recently W did have bike stunts, especially in upcoming A to Z which is awesome!

But I agree, Kuuga's bike allowed was more "stunt-friendly" due to its obviously mobility and lighter frame. I guess we won't be seeing to many bike stunts with OOOs this year now would we? Bike action maybe (like Eiji combining a Tiger Candroid with the RideVender) but definitely no bike stunts.

I also really hope Kobayashi doesn't forget how essential the concept of bikes are in Kamen Rider and does include them on a regular basis.

Why did Toei switch to Honda anyways?

Maybe it has to do with the contract dispute.

Where's your abacus now, white-robe bird guy? Apparently, Godai's in coma state again.

 

[Smilodon]

Oh, the abacus dude. Baruba? I think it was, maybe it was Rose-Tatooed who has Baruba...

But yeah, Godai entered a self-induced coma in episode 45? 46? Somewhere along there.
