A young man rides a motorcycle while lying on the seat, steering with his feet and talking on a cellphone. Shot in Jamaica, Saulter's home country, there is reggae music playing in the background as the dangerous scene unfolds in a pace that recreates the daring, dangerous activity the video portrays. Standing still in front of it, the viewer is confronted by the conflicting impulse to be preoccupied with the biker's safety while unable to look away.

*1983 in Negril, Jamaica | Living and working in St Andrew, Jamaica and Los Angeles, USA
