Wheelie crash at Pukekohe (26 November)

**MazTLR** · 26th November 2006, 19:42

Went to Puke today to watch the bike racing, did anybody else see on the start off the warm up lap, the rider showing off doing a stand up wheelie, lost control and crashed.

Ow!

Hope the rider was okay enough to have learned a lesson...

Yep. It looked impressive as he was leaning it to go round the corner up to the point he fell off.

I heard the ambulance dropped him off at the pits, so hopefully he isn't too sore.

Ow again... still, bloody good to hear he's obviously bruised and ego shattered as opposed to occupying a hospital bed...

Hope he is ok, and gets the wheeilie landed the way he wants next time!

Anyone know who it was?

**Gremlin** · 26th November 2006, 23:23

mmm not sure if I should post his name, needless to say he is VERY well known... especially for stuff like that... and yes, the warm up lap. He got a broken finger I *think*.

Imagine our surprise down at the hairpin, we hear over the radio that the guys are coming out, next second, we get told "Red Flag"

Pity... he was impressing us down at the hairpin, with the swingarm chattering almost every time, then wheelie'ing out, on the in lap

Well,thats just typical of Lance,he has been warned so many times
He also caused the accident with Jason McEwan a few years back at Paeroa
down the back straight,pissing around doing wheelies while the race was on!
He needs his bloody head read
How fast was he going & where did he fall off??

Yeah at least that tit did it 'trying' to scrub some tires in, Not just showing off. ( and that tit's a funny cunt )

Wheelies are for the warm down Lap.

That man is USUALLY very skilled at his wheelies and stoppies!
maybe he might say what went wrong?
saw another one of his rolling stoppies thru the dummy grid bout lunch time
Man has skills just dont know why he plays that way at the track!
Mum sure didnt sound too happy!

**R6_kid:Me** · 27th November 2006, 08:58

that rolling stoppie was pretty impressive... as was the wheelie he did on the previous races warmup lap, couldnt be outdone by a 16yr old on a pitbike but it looks like on this day he was!
