He didn't run off the road, he hit a big nasty bump just inside the lane that sent him out of control buy the looks of it.

He was probably trying to use all of his side of the road, but didn't see that bump.

Watch out for cars stopping for no reason! (PS: Wear your boots!)

Dude fails to commit to the corner and runs wide - stopped by Dad

he was most likely following the bike in front and wasn't confident in leaning futher. Looking at most of these videos, they go back to the basics. Ride your own ride and don't try to follow someone else. (of course unless they were riding at your level ish and was showing you the lines)

dad needs to learn a few things about bikes harmless sliding to a stopbeing much better than being torn off and dragged behind... then suddenly picked back up... (seriously if the kid was hurt picking himup like that would have been the worst thing to do)

What I was thinking, he would've just rolled to a stop on the grass.

If he broke his leg when it got caught, then was forced to stand I would've been as pissed of as he actually was that Dad stopped me!

Teenager + KTM + Wheelie = fail

Haha! He didn't cover the rear brake, got just past the POB, hung on for a bit then he bailed off the back! LOL.
We've all done that once or twice! Com'on confess!!! Although not on the road and on camera!!

Check twice before launching at the lights! (30 seconds in)

Watch out for sheep! (close call, not a crash)
