[EJK]

Thank you EJ, on both questions.

[speeding_ant]

Target fixation eh? Bugger...

[nodrog]

what the fuck!

[BigAl]

Shortened up the wheel base nicely.

[Hitcher]

Neither the rider nor their bike connected with the guard rail. It was the soft earth between the asphalt and the rail that brought them down.

[Geeen]

See, you go where you look. Rnickey mouse has heaps of these videos on you tube.

ive seen pretty much all of rnickeys videos and in more than one there are perfect examples of incorrect body position / correct body position and target fixation.

if you want to see what not and what to do watch some to them.

[bosslady]

what did they do wrong? not looking where they were going?

[Ocean1]

what did they do wrong? not looking where they were going?

Probably. It's hard to overstate the importance of NOT LOOKING AT THAT FUCKING RAIL LOOMING UP ON THE RIGHT THERE.
:baby:

He was already in trouble when he first appeared, close enough to the gravel that the little extra countersteer he needed to correct his line was already risky.

I thought it was the fist full of front brake that brought him down.

He took a bad line on the bend. He looked fine going in, but failed to lean the bike over enough. Perhaps he needs a lesson in counter steering and looking where you want to go.

All part of the learning process I suppose :yes:

[EJK]

what did they do wrong? not looking where they were going?

Trying to chase/ follow/ catch up to his mate on a supersports bike in the front? Panicked? Stiffened shoulder and arms? Fixed torso position? Target fixation? Handfull of brakes? A bit of this and that?

[The Reibz]

Shortened up the wheel base nicely.
Does that mean the bike will now wheelie easier?

Seriously though, the amount of awesome crash videos that this guy has up on his channel is nuts. Its almost like they go down there and throw a bit of sand on the road when there hasn't been one for a while. Theres a tree on that corner where they hang all the bits of broken fairings from the bikes that have crashed there, you can catch a glimpse of it in some of the videos.

[DMNTD]

Fucken guard rails.

Fucken cages too, and wing mirrors

[Paul in NZ]

His (assuming it is a his) 1st mistake was riding that friggin road - jesus doesnt he have an internet connection? Nearly every motorcycle on the net that goes around that corner falls down inexplicably...

Second mistake was riding past people (ghouls actually) with a frickin camera? Seriously? Do you think they are filming you because you are impossibly cool? Nope - they KNOW you are going to fall off.... In fact I wouldnt be amazed if they made sure you will fall off although in this case it was all his own work...

[Bald Eagle]

Problem is they're Mericans, watch some of his other clips on the same road. Total lack of ability to control any sort of vehicle two or four wheels.

And this is different from any other country in the whole entire world, how? The only country on the entire planet that teaches it's populous to drive properly is Finland.

I mean shit, have you seen any of the videos out of Russia? :crazy:

[Paul in NZ]

I mean shit, have you seen any of the videos out of Russia? :crazy:

Yes - yes I have but Vicki says they are disgusting and I'm not allowed to watch them anymore... Apparently it makes me 'unsettled' .... Still - I guess its a product of too many hot women and a crap economy and crap weather that drives them to porn...

[YellowDog]

Most of them are really well educated and qualified too!

I watched one getting stuck into her centrifuge, just the other night :banana:

Back on track though, some of the Russian driving leaves a lot to be desired:

better the guard rail than the drop over the side

There's nothing quite as retarded as an American.

I work at a uni in South Auckland. I get dumber shit on a daily basis.

Stupidity is not restricted to 1 country in particular :crazy:

The University of Bro'town doesn't really count as a University though.

[Monkfish]

I loved it that NOT 1 of the first three people to run out and help, went to check the rider. They all went to the Bike. :lol:
I guess they had their priorities sorted after all. :killingme

He was already in trouble when he first appeared, close enough to the gravel that the little extra countersteer he needed to correct his line was already risky.

He can be looking anywhere he wants as long as he is pushing on the bars hard enough to lean the bike over further....

But yes, there is that old tendency to go where you look.

If ever there was an andvertisement for track days....

[R-Soul]

Yes - yes I have but Vicki says they are disgusting and I'm not allowed to watch them anymore... Apparently it makes me 'unsettled' .... Still - I guess its a product of too many hot women and a crap economy and crap weather that drives them to porn...

And lots of ice - dont forget the ice. And the fact that they drive damn fast with no control with shit cars on the ice....
And that almost no intersections seem to have traffic lights in Russia, and the ones that do have are treated more like suggestions than rules to be obeyed!

[breakaway]

I'm genuinely surprised they don't police that road more, especially with all the twats that keep crashing their shit while trying to show off on this particular corner.

Bunch of squids.

Here's a playlist, 66 clips total http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZBgrVI0Dyto&list=SP467A2492C0B9CBFF

These ones are my favourite. dciyhfaScAo Up2UvuRLdTE GgKoXzbw13E
