    Repost.

    Shit happens so fast in the air you can't control it, it probabaly was a gust of wind or something similar.

    if you have ridden dirt bikes a little bit you'd know what i mean.

    skiddy doesn't have time to be searching for reposts - he's flat out looking for a job.

    maybe he saved it cause he's a good rider? i'm sure he didn't intend to turn the wheel in the air - he was on a different line than the other 2, and looks like he got an unfavourable re-bound off the previous bump.

    fucking ballsy to wind the noise on hard again after that's just happened - looks like they are doing 180-200k just there.

    He had it under control after first bump prior to being in air, i did watch it like 20 times.

    Just trying to work out what makes the rider as the op posted "an idiot".

    Can someone explain to me, how someone going that speed and has that happen to them is "an idiot"..

    Farkin awesome skills, and a decent amount of luck I reckon.

    Mate,
    He Aint a Idiot and turned wheel in the air if you look he actually gets a twitch in the front before getting air born and after those races considering that a lap is like Half an hour and they do 6 of them these guys are fucken legends, Hes probly exhausted and slightly relaxed and thats probly what caused it he would be an idiot tho if he said he was gonna lay some monos and stoppies in thecity while people are around.

    So what's bike number 22's excuse then cause his front wheel also wobbles like crazy when going over the undulations in the road...?

    Is he an idiot as well, or do ya reckon the surface of the road has something to do with it..?

    The rear moves around not the front, he just kept the front where he was going, what isn't such a bad thing.

    Looks like he hit the bump at a bad angle, happens ALOT when you first start out on dirt bikes until you can start predicting where abouts to hit the bump etc...

    A bit different at 180-200kph.

    Ride a dirt bike for a decent amount of time over some bumps/jumps and your know what i mean.

    I just reckon, whether or not it was the rider's fault, that it's pretty impressive he saved it.
    Who, me? I just wander from thread to thread.
