INCREDIBLE low-side save... haven't seen this one before.

[OreoGaborio]

Fällt er oder fällt er nicht? Thomas Lüthi Sachensring Video, 250er WM - Video

BOTH wheels sliding, WAY beyond the traction limit..... fukkin WOW.

[jwm2k3]

Holy hang on batman!

[Crash Dummy Denno]

toseland had a better one this year in SBK - I'm trying to find the video -

[mikeb]

clean up the fuckin speedy dry!

[DucDave]

Holy hang on batman!

Careful Robin....

(So, was that really a low side????)

[nt650hawk]

I thought that Attapulgite was supposed to restore traction?

Time for a new set of pucks and time for a Dry Cleaning.

[Tricky Mike]

Now THAT's dragging elbow.
So freakin smooth... even on his way down.
Nice find, Pete.

[schleppy]

Hooooly crap. That guy must have needed a fresh set of undies after that save.

Nice find!

[joeswamp]

Cool, he used up the whole knee puck in one turn.

[butcher bergs]

Wow!

I'd like to see it without all the play-rew-play-rew-play-stop-rew-play-rew-rew-rew-play bullshit.

Nice find....7 out of 10 stars

as Tony mentioned on another site ... this video is a great example of the bike NOT wanting to crash ... the rider did NOTHING to the bike once traction started to go away, just let the front correct itself (over and over) ...

props to the rider for doing exactly what you should do ... nothing

[sveesix]

I could do that in my sleep, if I had a GIXXAH

[Awesome]

WOW!

[KB]

Holy poopie pants.

[Punjistick]

I got really confused at first when they started to play it backwards. I was like he can't possibly be sliding in reverse.

[Billy]

I want a set of those tires!!!!

[newgixxerchic]

no kidding... and what was on the ground??

[Rick Lee]

I love how he looks back at the end as if to say "Did you fuckin see that shit!!!!!!!"

[RyanNicholson]

he must have done something.

if it is, someone did not pat it down, that's for sure.... that stuff is usually almost part of the track by the time the cornerworkers are done with it... craziness.

[Awesome]

there's always dust left over you can see a cloud of it each time a bike passes for at least two or three races after it's been put down on the line.

he must have done something.

not to the bike ... probably pushed his knee hard into the ground to encourage the bike to stay on two wheels, but if you looks at his arms they are flapping in the wind as the front end makes all the corrections and he does nothing to the bike itself

[TTD]

he must have done something.

He did the HARDEST thing possible... which is nothing... or as close to nothing as you can do in that situation.

I think the combination of having a lot of his weight on the ground - with minimimal bar input - allowed the bike to get through the worst of it.

Most people (myself included) would have either let go completely, or used their arms to try and recover once the guy was basically on the ground.

Either action would have resulted in less than stellar results.

Riding the track in the wet is the best place to play with both tires sliding... with fairly minimal consequences. The best rain riders can do their bar input to get the bike turned... and then basically "go limp" as far as bike inputs... even when the tires start sliding. And then they are able to start feeding in throttle at just the right amount/time, again while keeping their body movements from upsetting the bike.

I really like watching rain races.
