Bet that didn't feel too good.

One reason I have no interest in stoppies.

sorry but that was funny  :lol:

they never show the aftermath on those clips...I always wanna see if they walk away or not.

wow though....the tail of that r6 slaming down on the ground didn't miss his balls by much.  So you figure a few hundred pound plus the momentum...and that's enough to crush your nuts into a pulp....which is always nice

Yea you can hear it blow right before he takes off on his flight.

Maybe he should get some icyhotstunt tires for his xxxtreme lifestyle :lol:

nice sig

I think he was alright.

Anyway. . .They taught us in the MSF course that if your front tire blows out during a stoppie that you need to ease off the break, settle your weight back onto the seat, signal to your friend that you may be having a problem and that your bike my enter his path of travel, calmly tuck your head between and begin your dismount.  This usually happens pretty fast so, some of the steps can get rushed.  

The acronym they gave us for this procedure was: KYAGB.

Ahhh....IcyHot Stuntaz :mrgreen:

OK, this is just my opinion on this subject so if you dont like it, oh well...

This has got to stop, a biker just wrecked because of a blowout and all you guys can do is crack jokes? Granted the video is old, and he is stunting. But I own the video this happened in, they are on a closed road havin fun. So their riding styles differ from your own, what gives you the right to judge them. I hate how every time someone brings up the topic of stunting everyone jumps on the calamari wagon. Grow up...

Well I think if you take the risk of stunting then you also accept the risk of people laughing at you when you fall.  Don't cry buddy....  

Sorry Danny.  

I was under the impression that these guys are the type of guys that have an accident like that, get up and laugh it off and put a video of it on the internet.  Didn't know we had to be so sullen.  I wonder what those guys would say if they knew that people were so mamby pamby about the subject?

We were all very concerned when you wrecked, so it isn't as if we don't have compassion for those that go down.  I loath the day that ever happens to me.  * knocking on wood *

But I've got a lot of respect for people that can do that.  I hope he was uninjured.  

Now can anybody tell me the best way to dry off when you get a bucket of cold water dumped on you?

Oh no, i apologize, you dont need to be sullen. I know when i went down playin around on my bike i got up right away and was laughing at my mishap, hell i even laughed about my major crash (which im remembering less and less of, lol). No, my major concern is that every time someone posts a pic of or vid of someone stunting (regardless of crashing or not) people run to yell squid, or make fun of them. Sorry if my post came out wrong, and no, there is no reason to be sullen, i to hope he was ok.

I was going to say somthing but thought i would keep my mouth shut cause they seem to want to tell me the same thing.  But I agree with you on this one.  The bashing of others who might ride wheelies or stoppies is getting really old now.

A.  F'ing up your bike is no more a "riding style"  than hitting yourself in the crotch with a hammer is a sexual position.  It might be fun the first couple of times you do it, but you'll eventually find yourself in a cast wishing you had never swung that hunk of metal.
B.  Stunting in a safe place is okay because it doesn't affect most of us.  That is, unless he has his insurance pay for the bike in which case he makes it more expensive for the rest of us to insure an R6.

I was, briefly, a stunter apologist, out of respect for Danny.  Get this through your head: Stunters make fun of stunters.  Stunters laugh at other stunters, beat up other stunters, share good times with other stunters, show concern for other stunters, and yes, even defend the practice of stunting.  Don't get your panties in a twirl just because we ALSO have a laugh at a stunter's expense.  They think it is funny too.

No one get offended but this is like a white person calling a black person a n*gger but they can call each other that all day, and also like brothers can beat up each other all day long but if someone elses messes with the other they both stand as a unit.  maybe look at it that way?

I'm a complete noob, so take what I say with the appropriate measure of salt:

I don't see why one group's activities are not a valid riding style simply because they involve a greater measure of risk.  It would appear to me that if someone wants to assume more risk to themselfs in order to show off, feel cool, or whatever - that is up to them.  In my opinion, stunting is just as valid as driving 10mph under at all times.  Both might be extremes, but neither are heinous.

Maybe I just haven't been riding long enough to feel such aversion towards stunters, just like I haven't developed a dislike for Harley Riders either.

It would seem to me that this sport, like all sports, has room for the defensive, the aggressive as well as the middle of the road types.
