Everything about Shaquille O’Neal is larger than life. Even his sets of wheels. The NBA legend towering over 7 feet often customizes his vehicles to fit his build comfortably. One of his custom wheels is a bike that’s a whopping 14 feet in size. But he somehow makes even that look normal!
‘Big Diesel’ isn’t doing any extravagant stunts on his bike, but he does show his appreciation for extreme sports. O’Neal has a history of leaving basketball watchers’ jaws on the floor with his build, speed, and talent on the court. He’s probably feeling that same awe watching another sport’s gravity-defying stunt.

Freestyle dirt biker blows away Shaquille O’Neal
A sports-themed Instagram page shared a Reel of a freestyle dirt biker doing their thing. The spectacular stunt with the rider completely letting go of the bike mid-air was amplified with the mandatory slow motion. It contained the appropriate caption, “Nah Bro What.” Shaquille O’Neal is probably echoing that.
O’Neal shared the reel on his Instagram Stories so his 31.7 million followers would also be as shocked as he is. Comments under the original post too are similarly awestruck. Some sounded inspired to experiment.

Shaquille O’Neal has experienced shocking stadiums full of fans with his talent during his time as an NBA pro. He continues to hype crowds as a musician and DJ now.
But it would be better if he didn’t feel inspired to try flying off a ramp on a bike. Even if he has the means to do so.
Big Diesel’s bike is not freestyle-ready
Shaq has a super-size collection of cars to match his love for Superman. He’s even added an RV customized by Big Boi to the collection. The most recent addition to his motorcade is a Rolls Royce Cullinan at West Coast Customs to add the Superman logo on.

Everything O’Neal uses has to be modified to fit his 7’1″ feet, 325 pounds build. Among them is a sleep motorbike. Orange County Choppers custom-made a black and chrome chopper just for him. The bike is twice his size at 14 feet. The bike is appropriately named ‘Man of Steel’.
But for that name, the chopper is not equipped for gravity-defying stunts. That is best for a seasoned motocross rider. That did not stop Shaq from zooming on the road without a helmet, though. His followers were extremely concerned for his safety back then.

Shaq does what he wants. But if he does want to give his fans a scare with another stunt, perhaps he should customize a Big Diesel-worthy helmet first.
