It does take skill to ride like that. To take truns at those speeds on a non controlled course, being able to react when your line is cut into, and reacting in situations where the other people around you are not aware of what is going on. I would definately say it is more dangerous, but at the same time commend the guy for his skill and balls to do that stuff. I made a 150 mile an hour pass down I-5 in oregon the other day with 2 other bikes for 5 min we did not go under 100. Not saying it is smart, but at the same time, not everyone can just "twist the throttle and and ride like that".
