Remember Throttle rule #1

Once the Throttle is cracked open, it is rolled on evenly,smoothly,and consistantly throughout the remainder of the turn....

@ffdankok haha ... I wasn't even on the turn yet ... were you trying to comment on the other Low Side video I have uploaded ?? :D

LOL Mistake was blaming the crash on a pair of gloves.... the rider is the only one to blame. No offense but to become a better rider is to learn from your mistakes and not blame them on your gear. Better luck next time.

[sinverquenza]

@magnumhr1 nope. it was the gloves fault. they held the throttle open. if you watch the video, my hands are actually out of the gloves when i lowside.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't you be able to tell that the throttle was open just by the sound of the bike? If the RPM didn't slowly descend right before you brake, unless you brake right after letting off the throttle, it seems that you should have been able to tell that you were still giving it gas. I'm not trying to criticize you or anything, just curious.

@TheRhymeAsylum - i figure I should have been able to tell that the throttle was still open but I was more focused on slowing myself down via braking and trying the quick open throttle/downshift technique ... I figure I just tunnel visioned myself with that. really was a brain fart on my part, lol

Meh screw everyone trying to leave critical comments as usual on YouTube. I'm glad I watched your video because it's an easy mistake to make that I hadn't thought of. Also, your video goes to show why you invest in GOOD GLOVES like those ones because if you watch, as usual, your hands were the first thing to hit the pavement. If you were wearing squidly gloves your hands would've been toast!

@sinverquenza Haha nice!

I believe you dude, i got new gloves for around town and the first time i rode with them my throttle control was left in the garage with my old gloves.

I dont just ride wheelies...and I dont do it to be cool. Its for fun, and I actually ran 1:14 at Blackhawk Farms Raceway on my stock 07 gsxr 750. Also 2:33 at Road America. Thats not bad for stock bike.
