[Eddie]

I just wanted to share this fantastic picture of Casey in Valencia this last week.

Enjoy




Over and out

Pssshhh! Can't even drag a knee

[Tricklidz]

Yeah, he's still the man when it comes to sliding the TC bikes!!!

I wanted to find the jimmy2shots turn 9 picture from last year so bad to go with this quote.

[OreoGaborio]

Sick nasty.

[RyanNicholson]

Almost makes me wonder if that was the "OH SHIT" moment that made him lose 6sec in a lap that let Spies catch up haha.

Amazing.

[NeverlosT]

Casey Stoner can ride a motorcycle very well.

That pic is actually from the 1000cc test not the race weekend. But he was sliding thee 800 like crazy in qualifying.

Amazing.

Don't mean to drift off topic but did the cameras actually catch his mistake that closed that 10sec lead he had on the other 3? I was too busy rooting for Ben that when I saw him on Stoner's tail I jumped out of my seat

[PainfullySlow]

HOLY CRAP. When I look at that I hear symphony music, lol.

When I look at that I hear traction control :-p

That said, he is an AMAZING rider

[tsorfas]

besides the amazing skill, is it anything more than showing off?
arent you actually moving slower since you dont have a steady line? JW

[Chippertheripper]

That's what happens when you come in too hot and actually HAVE talent.

[DocCola]

Yeah saw that pic on MotoGP.com and it became my back round shortly after.

[Lucas]

Awesome pic!

Can some one help me out? Is he drifting out or backing in?

[Paul_E_D]

Drifting out. Traction control can't prevent drifting due to high corner speeds.

[jcrawford]

ok so don't flame me this is a serious inquiry. Is it his rear tire sliding out or both tires sliding? It's hard for me to tell from the picture and I did not catch the race yet.

[Chippertheripper]

Both sneaks, joe.

[jcrawford]

NICE must be fun but yet a bit scary to drift a bike like that

[Slowpoke387]

Not for them, that's just the way they turn the bike. The only time I can do that is right before a crash.

[jcrawford]

yea for them who probably do it all the time they expect that feeling lol. I know I'd probably leave brown slippery chunks on the track if I felt that for the first time

[Chippertheripper]

Meh, the dual tire drift is nowhere near as puckering as the single tire step, be it front or rear.
