Not new, and thats not his bike. Its his brother's bike, he was showing off said bike without permission while the brother was at work. The video was later used in a lawsuit to recover damages.

yup
seen it before, but its ALWAYS funny!
The best part is that if you listen to the sound the dip shit blips the throttle right before impact with the tree.
"hmm, maybe if I go FASTER I can turn her!"
what a wonderful example of target fixation.

Hey coyote, you seem to have some detail, do you know what he damaga was to the rider?

It wasnt bad supposedly, bruises and stuff and dislocated shoulder. He made a second trip to the hospital later that night with some broken bones in his face however. Soft grass does wonders, he also wasnt really going -too- fast. Its tough to tell from that angle but its supposedly only like 10-12mph.

I think you guys are being way too harsh on young Mr. SQUID.

Momma said "Look out for the parked car", which he did. She didn't say anything about that tree...

Does't take much when hitting a tree. Guy at local MX track few years back, hops on buddies bike, no helmet not much saddle time, goes 20 ft hits a 6 in. diameter tree and spilts his skull open like a watermelon. Dies at the scene. Not a pretty site.

I ran a crash a few years ago where a car hit a 10 inch tree at over a hundred. The tree didn't move.

Great example of small target fixation. He wants to miss the car. He sees the tree. He blips the throttle. He heads for the tree. He hits the tree.

PeeWee · 04-29-2005, 09:53 PM

Target fixation or did the rear wheel break traction?

spawn50 · 04-29-2005, 10:14 PM

He had no control of that bike. His feet weren't on the pegs and he was looking down when he started. He froze up and didn't know what the hell to do when he looked up and saw the tree.
