    how low can't ya go.....

    looks good to start with, but goes pear shaped quick.. I had wondered how low you can take a bike before this happens.. I'd now have to say not quite as low as this..

    Do you find these in www.dicksrus.com? The wanker's got his visor open during a fang. I bet the face full of gravel was fun.

    I found the problem. On the third photo you can see he is using a hover technique on the back wheel.

    Looks like pic #7 would have been of him with a leg on either side of that tree. That's why he had his visor open Lou, so we could all see the expression on his face as the good news got rammed home . . .

    in the second pic you can see sparks so you now atleast his peg is on the ground... either its the whole thing just turned to shit or he had fixed pegs maybe because as said the rear wheel is off the ground, but also the front wheel has turned in when it should be turned out at that speed (counter-steering)

    or maybe he was just a bit to much ZING for the corner.

    all the same, the first pic is a good one to remember the bike by!

    Aside from going a bit slower, what (from looking at the photos) if anything could you say he could have done better?

    how about not dropping it..??
    I think the first shot looks to be pushing it the right amount, but may be the corner tightend up too much or something.. Or may be he was a few ks too much

    I’ve seem 'em before, you come round a corner and its invisible tongue flicks out and snatches the bike from underneath you, the only way round is to hang gorilla testicles on the back of your bike

    Cant have fixed pegs because if you scruitenise the first pic, you can see the spring mechanism.

    It does look like the front wheel is pointing in the wrong direction. could this be because he has realised that he is going too low and is trying to get the bike up up and use a but more of the road?

    Is it my imagination but is he "leaning out" instead of leaning in?

    Excellent set of shots, but it would be nice if we could see a front on set of shots too. Can you ask him to do it again, but this time with camera's front and rear.

    agree with you lou, plus it looks like he apexing a bit early, keeping wide on entry on the road is always a safer option

    I vote the pegs unloaded the back wheel (pics 2&3) off the road. A common mistake, ain't that right R1 Aaron (like I can talk).
