The Tricycle Tragedy - Kim & Jo

[CitizenOvTheWorld]

aaaah! sounds like Bobby McF doing a little bit of bumble.

I'm glad your okay,but I hit the pavement wearing a tee shirt light pants at 70 mph,I can show what real road rash is like,they put me in a tub and brushed the wounds with a brush and soap,I was a kid,but still,it was embarrassing and painful,still have scars,where my skin was ground down,I was smoking,from the heat,really

[callmeshane303]

I know what I'd be kissing better.

Four reasons you flipped:

1) Design flaws in the machine itself.

2) Inexperience with the vehicle.

3) Adding an after-market engine to a machine designed for pedal speeds.

4) Asian ethnicity.

#4 is offensive? It's a proven stereotype.

Name an Asian race car driver....I'm still waiting!

White men can't jump. Asians are good at math.

Both are stereotypes. Both have their exceptions.

Asians drivers on the other hand...

ITS NOT A DELTA TRIKE! It's a TADPOLE trike design.

Tadpole design (2 in front, one in back)

Delta design (one in front, two in back)

Delta's roll MUCH easier.

Tadpole design flaws:

1) Driver weight it too far forward (They ENDO when you nail the brakes)

2) Left/Right braking systems cause rollovers (pull one brake = jackknife)

3) narrow front wheel footprint causes high center of gravity (rollover)

KMX is the only company I've ever seen that remedied all this.

that was the best road rash

[treeefrogUK]

I got a similar scar years ago - give it a few more years and even you won't be able to see it.

And after your experience I'm sure you'll agree with me that prevention is so much better than cure!

Feet/ankles, knees, hands and elbows are the main areas that really need protecting as these are the bits that really affect your life badly when they go wrong. Add hips/thighs and shoulders to the list if you wish.

Getting sweaty is a lot better than getting injured ;)

[McFuckNuggets]

no vid of the crash? wtf man?

[socialtalker1]

looking at the placement of the arms to steering, i can see how the arms are vulneranable during a tip over. perhaps armpads are in order when riding tadpole trikes.

[trevmac89]

what a dumb cunt

[canamm]

OUCH!! Fun video, pretty lady.

[jayjaythemanjay43]

I thought your video was really fun, Cool trike, Pretty Girl, Tragic accident .

[ez3usx2]

cool bikes.i have a sun ez3usx i put a phoenix hub motor on i run at 36 volts.i can go 25 miles before i need a recharge.

sorry u got some nasty road rash ouch.

i put a motor on my bike because i heard its illegal to pedal azz. have fun

[IFlick]

Kim is to cute to be riding one of these damn things!

[lyncolnz]

ha ha funny but good point

[OHT53]

A bad case of road rash could have been a lot worst.

[stopglobalswarming]

I like how you put a motor on it. re: wreck=Better feet first than head first I guess.

[stopglobalswarming]

Those things are cool. I thought they are really hard to tip over though.

[GothicAngel4evr]

... at risk.

(6) Always remember that an accident could disfigure one's beauty parmanenly and put an end to a modelling career.

[kimfluttersby]

I thought your comment was rather hillarious, but the other one abt Parkinson's disease in my other video was totally uncalled for. Very kind of you ya? Hope God blesses you the same way you comment on other's.

[technokart]

how the f*ck did you fall an a fricken trike!!!

[havanacuba1993]

wow how much blood did she lose did she get air lifted u fucking idot i thought she was going to get hit by car or something "Tricycle Tragedy" take this shit off u tube!!

[yourmortalwound]

well that was gay no crash i wanted to see the asian fucken eat shit god damn it

[alcram]

Now that was a pretty retarded comment, but hey I might be wrong and the speaker himself might be a fucken eat shit god damm retard.

[gjenkins1]

I've got about 2K on my Catrike Road; Kimmi has her boom way too short and is probably huring her knees.

[5252dan]

i rolled mine and slid 40 ft down a curb. my rash wasn't as deep but it went from head to toe including one arm... i feel for you. so remember fast up hill slow down hill

[cheezyridr]

i am just now healing from an even bigger patch of road rash, ON MY BUTT! i totally feel your pain when i see the expression on your face in the video

[Watthiman]

Kimmi is cute!

[rithban]

Glad to year the elbow is fine. Road rash is nasty.

Like you, I found that as good as a delta trike corners, they can still tip. I >>> LOVE <<< my trike, but I'm still learning to take corners fast.

For the uninitiated, delta trikes can corner *much* better than 2-wheeled bikes, but they're not immune from tipping if you go fast enough and turn hard enough, even if you lean into it.

FUN FUN FUN!

[kimfluttersby]

i think it's coz i got confused and tried to handbrakes when i was turning, so it made me flip... i've got a perma scar now. tsk tsk... but yeah.. it was sure fun!

[rithban]

After I flipped the first time (at low speeds, just scratched my palm up), I experiemented with braking and turning.

I've since learned about brake steering and am learning that under controlled conditions. (Call me a chicken!)

You have power assist on that trike? What kind?

[glenoz]

ouch, might want to consider elbow protectors.

[kimfluttersby]

it's been a mth now and my elbow's fine... phew. good thing it's my inner elbow and can't really be seen. :) glad it's just the elbow.
