Nick Flips his bike 9 times T2 Willow Springs

[SDkawi6]

There's a reason why we stick our knees out... to know how much tire we have left... Riding like that just makes it harder on yourself.. Not to mention destroys motorcycle balance.. 

[ccraines]

1. He was not going that fast.

2. Why in the hell was out in the marbles at the entry to two.

3. Suspension was totally loaded

4. Was a weird deal as i had tucked the front many a time and never had the bike flip and flop like like.........supports number 3

5. Dude needs to talk to some of the regulars

[currie954]

thats what happens when you ride up high in turn 2 were all that crap is at!!!!! no traction up there and his body position was way wrong

[TH3Omaster]

noob

[currie954]

didnt help his line was hi riding up in the crap of turn 2

[roccophilly]

glad he's okay. might want to take a look again at his body position since he's riding crossed up which might not have completely avoid the crash but was a big contributor.

[Maxmaj1q]

@roccophilly You're so right. I noticed that too. He's fast as hell around the track. He'd be alot better if he looked through the turns instead of riding with a crossed lean

[ian9207]

pah, - i'm sure the dents will just "polish out" . . . . only joking. glad he walked away OK

[turbocarr]

My bet is non-hot tires too. Appears like they were on it from the get go. From cash to trash is a split second. Tough to see a nice piece of machinery being splintered.....oh and the rider too.

[Boricua670]

Damn!!! That had to hurt.

[thesethingz]

OUCH!!

[TTZ06]

Have a car and a bike, been wondering if I'd ever bring the bike out. Then I found this video...

[rearwheelslider]

Pussy. Live life to the fullest.

[supermofo31]

holy shit...i bet he didnt see that coming

[Boricua670]

You never see low sides coming.

[amber10038532503]

Ain't the truth right? Didn't see my low side coming going up into turn 3 at all until it happened.

[SternLX]

Ouch!!! Low sided turn 2? Actually first time watching this I saw it coming before it happened. He went into #2 way to hot. I myself low sided in turn 3 going up into the omega back in 1995.

[Boricua670]

I crashed in turn 3 on September 22, 2008. Freaking broke my right leg. It was a simple low side. The bike just got dirty. The frame sliders did their job.

[rearwheelslider]

Guess you didnt drink your milk. What happened to cause you to break your right leg? 3 is a low speed left yet you broke your right leg?

[Boricua670]

I hate milk, but I guess I'm going to have to learn to like it.

I keep asking myself the same question. I did go into the turn pretty hot.I think the leg broke while I was tumbling up the hill.

[sam56n]

nice video, I miss that track

[bumblebeegsxr2]

It would be tough for me to not look over at him as it happened! Good job for not adding to the mess!

[estis420]

What the HELL happened - did he blow out a back tire.

[GotBikeVideo]

Tucked the front end, bad body position, and he is to heavy / fast for stock suspension, loaded up the forks, and bottomed the forks leaned over.. Bye Bye!

[dnapowersports]

I'm learning - What do you mean he tucked the front end- Did he apex too late? I"M a heavier guy and go on the track - didn't realize you could bottom out the suspension.

[rearwheelslider]

I am 240 and I ride a 750 on the track in a group. Fast.

He tucked the front(front end lost grip/slid out). You easily bottom out the forks under hard braking but they should not bottom out mid corner.

[dbsshadow]

how much is considered too heavy? because i ride an r6 and i weight aprox 180

[rearwheelslider]

I weigh 240 and I ride a 750. I would sya over 300 is too much weight for a small sportbike. The riders weight did not cause this crash. He had cold/worn tires.

[kennymacdaddy]

Thanks for pulling over and helping your buddy.... and get the sound fixed! (other than that...great video!).

[H2Hester]

The last thing you want to do is pull over and stop on the track. I think it was cool that he clicked to the rear camera as he went by. Check the Willow instructional video and you'll understand who you're watching.
