Mexican motorcycle acrobat team leads bold traffic patrols
The 14 member Federal District Traffic Department acrobatic squad in Mexico City roam the capital on heavy motorcycles and perform daring feats. They tour Central and South America and have visited the U.S. They are volunteers, paid only by pride, and take on tough assignments such as crack-downs on noisy riders and high speed chases. The team averages 25 years old and performs acts like riding a motorcycle through a real house on fire.
