hi, i'm beth troutman. it's time for the best videos of the day, "right this minute." it's called the ride of the century, and bikers love it. but cops. >> they said, no more of that. >> the culture clash that's more than a bump in the road for this tradition. a bonding experience hits the rough patch. >> oh! >> see the trouble on one family trip. a deer goes all track and field, until a kangaroo decides it's time for boxing in an epic -- animal on animal battle. >> see if the pouch beats the headbutt. and a video poses the
2:31 pm
question. >> why do men cheat? >> oh! >> why do you cheat? >> hear what women think while the guys fire back. >> fights it up. nearly 2,000 motorcycle riders descended on st. louis, missouri, for the annual ride of the century. it's put on by a group called the street fighters motorcycle club. they're a freestyle stunt team. riders from all over the country came to st. louis for this ride. police are riding right along with these guys. >> like an escort. >> kind of does. until the police pull this move. none of the riders pay attention to the sirens. and many more ignore the police road block in the middle of the highway. you see riders bailing off into the grass and going up the on ramp. right there you see a patrol car, bump one of the ride cyclists. here comes the police car head-on.
2:32 pm
>> oh! >> bumps that rider too. last year police were completely overwhelmed by the ride of the century. they were unprepared. they didn't know these riders were coming. they said no more of that. we're cracking down, putting a ton more police officers on patrol for this. >> why did they set the road block up? was there reports of people doing these stunts this time around? >> this video you clearly see a woman riding backwards sitting on the tank while another guy is standing up and appears to be steering the motorcycle with her head. >> that is beyond dangerous. >> the riders say look the road blocks, patrol cars on motorcycles, that's what's dangerous. >> that bike could go flying and injure the other people around there. it's not just their own lives they're putting in danger by performing one of these stunts. >> police did give us one statement and they said if any of the riders involved have complaints about what they've seen in the video and want to make a formal complaint we have
2:33 pm
a division that handles this. how is this for a family bonding experience. 26-year-old michael newgas from new jersey went on a 13-day rafting trip in the grand canyon. on day five or six, the group they're with hit some rough rapids. you see one of the rafts flips over completely. >> oh! >> and all six people in the boat end up in the water, including michael's uncle. >> this is michael who has a chest-mount camera strapped to him. you see him paddling to the people dumped in the water and now dispersed. >> swim! >> swim! >> the water this day was 50 degrees. not exactly warm. eventually you see them make it over to michael's uncle and they're able to pull him on to their raft as well as two others. >> took a while to start to breathe. i swallowed water. >> everybody made it out okay. michael's uncle although being out of breath and shaken up and
2:34 pm
freezing ended up with no injuries. >> this isn't uncommon. i've been on a trip like this, gotten bounced out and you have a life jacket on, your friends are there, but it's scary to know that you have just lost complete control of the thing keeping you on top of the water. >> but i can also imagine it's really hard to try to think clearly in 50 degree water. >> also if the rapids are raging enough to dump this boat over imagine what it's like for you by yourself when in that same water. >> oh! not long ago i brought you guys this video and what we see is a driver in a white car pull up behind a city bus and then a city municipal trolley runs into the back of her and she got sandwiched. this car was driven by a woman named camilla and she had a toddler in the car with her she was baby sitting. as a result of this accident,
2:35 pm
she lost her job. she, of course, as you can see in the video lost her car. and she also suffered some neck and back injuries and was terrified because she was trapped in the car for a while before they could get her out. in the original police report, the trolley driver statesd that the white car that camilla was driving cut him off. this video obviously shows that camilla was already in that lane. >> she didn't cut anybody off. it looks like she just got smashed. >> we have an update on th cin d to tell us more about that update we have camilla's attorney, robert cartwrite, via skype. what are you currently planning? >> having reviewed the evidence and the video taip we're planning to prepare a government claim against the city and the muni. >> in your opinion what do you think happened here? do you think the trolley driver wasn't paying attention. >> the trolleys are required to stay 250 feet apart. perhaps he was distracted doing
2:36 pm
something else, i don't know. there was obviously enough time and enough distance between car number one and car number two before this occurred. there was an illeglegal lane ch by the plaintiff. we're happy you're getting it out to the public. we would like to speak to any witnesses. >> hoping to get her job back or is this a monetary reward you're looking for? >> a civil claim seeks monetary compensation for the injuries and losses that have occurred. in this case there will be medical expenses for all of her serious injuries which were inkurd and her treemss and we seek a reasonable amount of money for her pain and suffering and hope she makes a very full recovery. >> the department of public safety in minnesota released this video. it's from 2009. to them it was very important that people recognize the importance of safety in their cars with car seats for their children. >> this is a dad pulled over
2:37 pm
because his three daughters ages 10, 7 and 5, were riding in the back of the flatbed truck in between two kayaks strapped in to place by a simple one-inch tie down. >> this is a flatbed truck too. there's not even a door there. they're children, not cargo. kayaks belong in the back of your flatbed, not your kids. >> they could slip out and they're on the road and this is a main road. >> you can see the officer telling him what if you hit a rock. >> blow a tire, in the ditch. >> the goal with releasing the video to tell parents how important it is to restrain your children. >> they all need to be inside the car. the 5-year-old especially needs to be in a booster seat. >> last week was national child passenger safety week and why this video was released and different organizations did put child seat clinics so people and parents would learn how to properly use their car seat. >> the trooper i talked to was going to take you to jail. >> really? >> what happened to this dad?
2:38 pm
>> he was reportedly cited taken to court and for some reason the case was dismissed. tiny deer just running left. until the kangaroo says that's enough. >> his hand stuck in his pouch? >> maybe for a second, yeah. >> see what happens when the kangaroo becomes the fun police. lights in the sky probably a ufo, right? >> maybe there is something going on in this case. >> so what do you think it is? >> and see what you think is going on, on "right this when we switched to fios, we got better tv, better phone, better internet. it was like somebody like took our computer, shook all the junk out of it. we're actually getting more for our money with fios.
