Bike crash vids

2 second rule, gravel, watch where your going vid. Yamahas are tougher than O'ndas..

It's almost a classic how not to, group riding video. Very small group admittedly. Inattention & too much front anchor = skittles.

what?

from what i can see he's riding with his mate behind him (seen in right hand mirror), exits corner and then slams on brakes for no clear reason - I have no idea why he decided to stop.... Sympathy for the guy behind really; his other option was to dodge/pass and risk clipping the other rider

Ditto on the sympathy. Hard to say from the vid but it certainly looks like it could be gravel on the road, lead rider brakes fairly hard as you would with an oncoming car taking up your exit strategy, rear rider seems to take an age to brake himself & quite possibly hits the gravel on the brakes causing the wash out.
Possibly. Maybe.

that is 2 up coming out of the tunnel?

And shortly before the end of the video a dog gets up and wanders off from the bike wreck at the bottom right side of the video

CCTV in Malacca recorded accident involving a car and three motorcycles. One of the victims crash broke his leg while the two other victims suffered minor injuries.

WTF?

I didn't see a single one of them wave.

Love how the guy in the background runs to the bike first!

Then he can't lift it.

I've never done anything like that nor will I ever likely, so I have to ask: In a situation like that when you find your front end is dipping down - which I assume is not ideal - is there anything you can do before you land? Use your upperbody and arms to pull the handlerbar towards yourself as hard as you can to lift the front end up?

For those experienced in this sort of stunt, did it seem like there'd be enough time to be able to correct for that front end dipping like that?

use of throttle and brake to start or stop wheel rotation can help to rotate the bike back or forward, but it usually has a reasonably minimal effect, and besiddes its pretty much always gonna end bad when you miss the ramp and land to flat
