  • What caused this crash?



    Looks like he goes in too hot, but what causes the bike to jerk? Did he downshift and cause the rear to reverse skid? Or did he jump on the front brake then release? Kinda hurts to watch it but I was trying to figure out "what happened here".

    damn...he is just lucky he didn't end up over that bridge.
    from the way it looks to me, he didn't know wtf he was doing anyway.
    I don't have a short temper. I just have a quick reaction to bullshit.

      I think his rear tire lost some air pressure, which was fine one the straight, but not in a turn.
      hmmmmm.
      Thats my best guess.

        We've see that video on here before if I remember. It kinda looks like maybe he grabbed a quick handful of throttle by mistake, or the rear tire might have hit something on the road.

          Ohhh I remember when I saw this vid. I was learning how to ride at the time. *shudders* I couldn't believe how far he was thrown in the air. Damn!

            It's also really tough to fight instinct, and not put your foot down.

            he's lucky he got threwn over that wall, 'cause smacking it at that speed could be fatal.

              I was shocked how close the car was riding next to him for the closeups!

                I'd BET he was on the rear brake , locked it , and let off .

                    I find it kind of hard to tell but that's probably what it was.

                        I never saw the video. I clicked on the link and ended up watching this one instead

                          I had to wait until I got to work to watch it.

                          Of course, she finds most things equivalent to Porn.

                            I wonder if the car was too close and his attention wanst where it was supposed to be.
