[Sketchy_Racer]

'tard!!.....

[Karma]

Nice, it's always funny to laugh at other people. :2thumbsup

[skidMark]

I think all you guys are so damn cruel. laughing at him.

lets make it better. by laughing a shitload more...

what a fucking moron !!! :rofl: :rofl:

[Deviant Esq]

Clearly he's done enough to pass his basic handling test... managed to get it to go straight with his legs flayed out like a monkey...

Bahaha

:lol:

[Stevo]

Kinda reminds ya of a kid on a bicycle for the first time.

[SpankMe]

I think the biggest retard was the guy who lent him his bike.

[scumdog]

Homer Simpson voice: "sure it's funny, it's always funny when you see somebody getting hurt - and it's somebody you don't know" - ain't THAT the truth!?:wacko:

[Sniper]

Fark thats funny. Now its in the video library.

[Swoop]

Speed kills - Yeah right..:moon:

TREES KILL - BAN ALL TREES!!! (they're also a hazard to lightning)
Where are the police and what are they doing to make our roads safer by banning trees???:motu:

[oldrider]

Watch the parked car,--------OHhhh shit! :moon:
It looked like his helmet flying off to the right, played it a gain and it's the whole him!:doctor:
Guess he will be sticking to 4 wheels now. Felt a little guilty like Sniper when I laughed. But :spudwhat: . John.

[scumdog]

I agree, if he has never ridden a bike (which it looks like) it makes as much sense and as safe giving him that bike to 'learn' on as giving a 3 year old an Uzi.:wacko:

[inlinefour]

I just found it pathetic and like Spank said, who the heck gave him the bike to ride as its clear he can't:pinch:

[DMNTD]

...who the heck gave him the bike to ride as its clear he can't:pinch:
The only pathetic part I saw was his lack of gear and total lack of instruction,well apart from "don't hit the car".:nono:
No I didn't feel sorry for him,good job!:weird::rofl:
Ya gotta start somewhere eh? I blame his "teachers" or lack there of:tugger:
Just hope for his sakes that he learnt that trees can hurt

[Harry33]

Shit I've never seen a Tree attack someone before...maybe it's one of those magnetic trees..mmm

If I was going to it would be towards the bike, having an idiot rider and owner.:moon:

A bit harsh on the rider - he had NO idea what he was letting himself in for!
The owner on the other hand got the wrecked bike he deserved!

[skidMark]

these damn trees that just jump out in the middle of the road someone ought to put up a warning sign ...

sorry this is the best pic edit i could be bothered doing right now....

[inlinefour]

I reckon the rider was equally dense hopping on the bike. I vaiguely remember learning to ride as an eight year old and although I stalled often for awhile, it was pretty hard to ride into things like that...:wacko:

[HenryDorsetCase]

americans and no helmets...they think its so cool..muppets

ive seen this before...what kind of bike is that? its like a vtr250 but bigger...is it a duke monster?

its an early version SV650 I think. the "round" frame one rather than the "square" frame one introduced in 2003.

oh yeah, as Homer would say "Its funny cos I dont know him"

[gamgee]

yeah i've got the vid here, it's a suzuki sv
the fool deserves it, open the throttle release the clutch = movement
so any idiot should have figured when heading towards a tree, grip the clutch, close the throttle (+brake) = stop

[sunhuntin]

first time i rode a bike, i let the clutch too fast and wound up stalling her.

this idiot, however, is worth laughing at. tree aint exactly small.

[flash]

how the f*#k can someone do that?

[Momentum]

i saw that clip about a week ago on some other webpage and i was WTF HOW THE HELL DO YOU RIDE INTO A TREE LIKE THAT :eek5:

[Waylander]

Why is it that in all these threads with these videos someone says something about not wearing a helmet? Try it sometime, you might like it. Not all "yanks" don't wear helmets and even the ones that do it does not make them stupid.

[Lou Girardin]

Well I'm outraged that there were no "beware of the tree" signs.

[scumdog]

Easy, in a crisis that is out of their experience a lot of people 'freeze' hence no slowing down, no swerving, no braking, he'd just be thinking 'shit-shit-shit':pinch:

[myvice]

how the f*#k can someone do that?
Easy, you totaly focus on the tree and say to yourself "I must not hit it, I must not hit it..."

[John]

Not all "yanks" don't wear helmets and even the ones that do it does not make them stupid.

it does when their brains are scattered across the road but dunit? :violin:

True dude!.
I've taken my bike for a 'test ride' around the block with no helmet countless times, it's a fuckin awesome feeling.......and I'm sure many here have done the same........

[skidMark]

trees can be so disrespectful i mean sitting there on the grass just going cmon see if you can take me on see if uve got the balls kid.

no trees = no oxygen

that guy deserved it he is obviously a waste of oxygen in the first place either that or he doesnt use much to be that unco.

[skidMark]

Live like that in Lake Havasu, Arizona, riding like that is like riding is without boots in NZ, - it's o.k. but when you fall off you wish you were wearing good boots.!!
But in Arizona it is a matter of practicality and law.
And the fact that most of the interstate is two lanes each way so there is little liklihood of hitting traffic going in the opposite direction.

[pyrocam]

I just got this on dvd today.

if anyones intrested

[Korea]

It's interesting how the mind works, or doesn't.
2 trees, metres apart, and the one he hit was only the width of his tyres.
Still, he managed to hit it dead square on. <I>NOW THAT IS TALENT</I>

[mops]

ok, thats pretty funny, BUT

this monday, I went to see my old mate, first time on my bike. there was a bbq going on there. I parked on the street, but my mates immidiately got the bike into the backyard looking at it, sitting on it and commentiog/etc. Obviously (as it usually is), soon they asked me for the keys, so they can have a 'spin' around the backyard, after all it's big section of lawn backyard there, what bad could happen.............................

obviously I refused to give them keys (just to start it up and listen to it.... yeah, right !), but asfter half an hour of nagging I gave up and gave my mate the keys. he was wearing only shorts and sunnies, I warned him that the bike will slip easily if he twists the throttle too fast/far. He asure me he rode bikes before and he know what he's doing..... well... guess what happened.....

he went around the backyard once and then he twisted the throttle 'bit more' ..........

he was behind some trees and all I hear is...
THUNK... SNAP....PUUUUURRRR..OH...F***!!!!

he was probably moving slowed than walking speed when the bike fell on his leg and squashed it pretty bad, he was bleeding from several places on his right lef (no shoes). luckily exhause pipe is on the right side.... he broke my front bikini and he's fixing it as we speak.... no other damage to the bike (after all it was on the lawn).

nobody wanted to 'have a ride' after that, haha !
