    Re: The year in crashes...

    this thread makes me wish i caught my friend Chris' last good digger on vid... complete Kung Fu Jedi Ninja shit... wave him on to pass, he sees it as an opportunity to become an A rider through this rooty section, grabs a handful of throttle, hits the pipe in a dip and literally CHUCKS his bike sideways into a tree. i'm still dying over that shit. smashed the pipe, radiator and cracked the exhaust flange. hahaa. he got lucky, could have been an upper leg breaker. quick 'n violent.

    it's like a joke...you just gotta be there...

    watching the video just isn't the same as being 5 feet away of both legs off the pegs, whiskey throttle, wheelie/superman into a cactus/tree/bushes

    Other people's crashes are hysterical. Swamping a brandy new klr for no reason is still the hardest I think I've ever laughed.

    If this thread taught me anything, its that dirtbikes are not forgiving of mistakes.

    They are usually incredibly forgiving of mistakes. Huge, stupid, wtf was I thinking mistakes.

    What they do is encourage you to make those mistakes much more often.

    Re: The year in crashes...

    Saw that coming (:50) from a mile away. In the back seat on the gas on a 2stroke is a recipe for whiskey throttle. Combine it with a jump, and this is the result. Always lean FORWARD when you pin it!

    Yeah, true. That does seem the case with a lot of these, for example, riding way too fast and hitting something (or someone) head on. But some of the situations just seem like the bike flies out from under the rider for no reason at all. Like they gave it just smidge too much throttle, or didn't get on the brakes just soon enough.

    Re: The year in crashes...

    Almost all dirt crashes are body position related. 90 percent of the time the rider is trying to lean back and gas it through rough terrain, the other 10 percent they panic and get off the gas, allowing the bike to stop going straight.

    Ah I see. As someone who has never ridden dirt before that makes a ton of sense and definitely matches what I saw.

    Thanks!

    Re: The year in crashes...

    Of course, everyone's brother-in-law will tell you to lean back and pin it, so it can take many years to unlearn that. Visual control is tough too. Your eyes are drawn down to the bump right in front of you fender, when you need to be looking 3-4 bumps ahead.

    Riding a bike that is actually suited to your level helps too. Problem is everyone will tell you you need a 450F or a 250 2 stroke. Guys who buy a dirtbike seem overly macho and make their worst mistake before they ever ride. lol

    A 250 4 stroke is no joke either!
