    Just saw this on the R6 forum, not sure if it's a repost but though it was worth seeing. Money shot at 1 min mark!

    but that's nuts...can't say I'd want my head dragging on pavement at any speed, but wow!

    and that guy can't keep his front end down, eh?

    The title of the vid is ghilli (spelled wrong) man . . . He's wearing a ghillie suit over his leathers.

    Apparently the head drag was a dare. He's friends with some of the guys on the WERA board. The guille suit was cause he was trying to get a sponsorship with Cabella's or whatever.

    I kinda hate this video. Skills, sure, but it's the same fuckstick antics as stuntin anywhere else IMO. I'd be pissed if I were riding that td, and the org encouraged or permitted that kind of nonsense while I was out there.

    I hope that Doesn't make me sound too uptight.

    The guy with the camera had a frickin' job. Photograph the guy in front of him.
    Keep the front wheel down. It's not making you faster.

    The head drag part was cool.

    He posted this on his youtube:

    "about 1 minute in I drag my helmet on the race track in a 10% banked corner in 3rd gear on my Predator gsxr 600. Dale from Racers Edge is filming and we were just playin on the track. Please do not try this and thanks to the race track for not kicking me out. "hint" they will normally kick u out"
    Do not try this at home (or your local trackday) kids.

    Not at all. It is downright stupid for them to be doing wheelies and the such.

    seeing as they had permission and you can see in the vid they made safe clean passes and weren't around anyone else when doing the antics and obviously had the skill to do it I don't really see the problem.
