Although I do not race, Richard knows how to fall and prevent as much injury as possible. He begins to relax as the bike approaches the barrier. The fact that he retired is to his credit- he knew when it was time to leave the sport. Sport bike racers are a tough breed.
Yet another misleading title on youtube. He wasn't even close to 170mph when he crashed. I really wish folks would be a little more responsible when they publish things. Sad that even the professional journalists mislead like this on a regular basis and its an accepted practice. I recently hit a wall at the track going around 80mph. My bike can also go 172mph on the back stretch of the same track. I don't tell folks I was going 170+ when I crashed. It's either blatant lying or ignorance..
If you all botherd to watch the on board bike film later in this post you can see the jolt of him hitting the left wall before he loses controll and slams into the wall on the righthand side
dear all: stop making comments about this video, you have no concept of the skill and bravery these people have, or the risks they take. have some respect, he's not a pussy, he made a calculated decision to end his career when he did.'Milky' Quail is now working alongside the organizers of the TT to help new riders by showing them around the course and advising about safety. Have any of you people had the decency to learn about things before commenting??...
You guys, and the stupid announcer in the video, he took his hands off so he didn't break his wrists in the wreck. It's what your supposed to do, he clipped an apex with his body at 170 and he knew there was no way to recover from it, so he started taking actions to minimize the damage to his body. Pro racer. He didn't 'lose grip,' he was at his max speed for the racing line and that wiggle from the wall-tap ruined it.
@AngeloR674 His hands were off the bars because he had just hit the wall with his left shoulder just out of shot, this is what caused this crash, he was racing a bike on the isle of man, he was N O T showing off,....
@trogolodyte1 cant believe people are suggesting he was showing off ,,the isle of man is no place piss about his hands were off the bars cos of the reasons you pointed out some fuckin fools on here
@AngeloR674 you clearly don't know nothing about bikes and the sport itself, stay the fuck out, don't comment stupid things u prick..... yeah sure to show off at 100mph +++++ while going into a corner, no commen sense!
@RockSmith92 Maybe not, but the rest of the comment still stands. You'd be surprised how fast the TT racers are though, but you're right i highly doubt that was a 170mph turn.
@RockSmith92 you are correct...the narrator said they get up to speeds of 170...its weird how people draw bits and pieces that do not accurately describe the intended message or info, it makes me wonder how they regurgitate all the education taught to them and the conversations they engaged in during their existence. this is a skill to envy if you are a mafioso being interviewed by the police.
@PhormulaWun hahaha i know what you mean, half these guys of speak out of their mother's vulva, its common sense to gauge speed, especially when somebody is so wrong its painful
@mojospin I suppose you may be right, though I don't feel like searching through the book. But still, what happened or what he did, whichever it may be, very likely saved his life, and it is encouraged in racing to relax and remove extremities from harm if you know you cannot save your impending wreck. It just really looked like he relaxed and the way he held his hands up looked like something intentional. Was he specifically talking about his hands, or maybe talking about tire grip?
@rkfaithfulblade his hands, but i agree with what your saying because in rally when the drivers know there going to crash they tuck there arms in so sort of the same thing
as you see he bails i reckon if he didnt he could of turned harder after cliping the wall and maybe saved hitting the wall so hard. not that i could of done what hes doing becuase my ball are not made of steel
@MaGicMik3z his hands were knocked from the bars when he shoulder clipped the wall at about 120mph... no time to correct that when comitted mid corner... was very lucky
He took his hands off the bars 'cause he didn't want broken arms/hands he kept his cool and sat straight up, that's why he's alive. Isle of man is the only "track" w/ it's own cemetery. RESPECT!
Home boy is lucky crashing his bike at over a 170 mpr and only suffering a brused lung,plus how far his body flew.With that kind of luck fuck hanging it up,get back out there bro cause some one up stairs love you!!!
Amazing crash and survival... but I hate when these things are over dramatized. There's no need to dramatize it. It's already dramatic enough in reality. The bike was reaching speeds of 170 mph. It doesn't mean he was going OVER 170 mph on that turn. Just tell the truth. Reality is crazy enough without needing to embellish to the ridiculous. This isn't hollywood. It's real life. If he was only going 50 mph it would've still be insane to survive that....
A shame it made him quit. These kind of things happen when you push the limits and it's better to learn from them than let them get to you. If he hadn't touched the left side of the road he would've been fine.
Wdf? i would keep on racing! Sure it was a little accident but he was stupid to go 170 mph in a race with about 75 degree turns, i would atleast go up to under 145 and above 120...
@jacobbaseluse why are you a pussy? oh i see you rarely leave the house and would never have the intelligence or determination to race motorbikes in a proffesional championship till you could attain the licences to do the TT!
@thesiknik Wow. You know a lot about me don't you buddy. I said pussy, for him not getting back on to the bike. When you're so passionate about something, and quit so easily, that makes me mad. Speaking of intelligence, nobody that has any of it chooses to initiate silly keyboard wars.
@jacobbaseluse mate you didnt exactly explain with a one word comment, but still he aint no pussy, that crash crushed his body to shit seriously, he quite in fear of his life and he has children, milky's had his fair share of crashes before this! definatly no pussy regardless, you initiated! ;)
@thesiknik Obviously from a 5 second look at the comments, you're just another 'youtube hero,' but in response, no he wasn't doing 170, but you're an idiot if you think there is no race training. Any real rider knows that from the time of your first ride, to the time you die, you're training. Have fun arguing with people on youtube, bye.
@rkfaithfulblade no youtube hero, i am a racer, your the idiot for just calling a racer an isiot for saying there is no racer training you fucking muppet ha ha.
Love arguing with people like you cus you do all the work of maiking yourself look a fool without any help whatsoever!
@thesiknik Rofl, you took the words right out of my mouth. You've been spending days on this 1 video making yourself look foolish. Don't know about the UK, but you have to have a license to race in almost every state in the US, and you think there's no race training? You obviously don't understand the concept of training.. probably why you have no videos of yourself racing. Just go shoot yourself, because obviously your life's dream of looking cool on youtube is falling apart.
@rkfaithfulblade You need an ACU Licence, you sit an exam about flags, thats it, then you take the bike to a track you muppet, you dont go to a little school and prove your fast, if you cant qualify you cant enter more than practise sesions, who just made themself look an idiot? I dont think i know.
How about instead of thinking you go read up on it first especialy if your gonna start talking facts 'Almost every state'' Derk!
@thesiknik Every US racing organization's rule book that I've seen requires you to take a weekend class that involves on-track riding and instruction, and some organizations have their own individual license. Maybe you should follow your own suggestions. I'm done arguing with your dumb ass.
