Ouch. That must suck, the bike aims for the only farking tree in a 50m2 block and hits it.

It was interesting to see how much protection those Jeans didn't provide. I wonder if he'd be keen to do it a few more times for us, in the interests of clothing evaluation. I'd like to see the results with Draggin Jeans, Cordura Pants, and leathers thanks.

So Indian Larry didn't die in vain - learning from Larry's example this guy at least wore a helmet.

He jumped off at a resonable speed and got up and walked away,just a bit sore with a few bruises and grazes wearing T shirt,jeans and sneakers.Although I've given up commenting in the countless protective gear threads,this video proves that to crash in this gear isn't an instant death sentence....and hopefully he will learn from his experiance...

I'm with Motu on this - he made a good start with standing up then jumped clear when he felt it start to turn pear-shaped. Personally i wouldn't try that even in full gear coz I'm a chook, but good attempt on his part and hopefully he's learned a thing or two.

I've seen footage of others succeeding at the same sort of stunt and even hairier ones - presumeably they failed at times while they were practising. And I've seen footage of blokes trying stunts with no helmets or t-shirts. At he had a brain bucket.
