tank slapper... a stunt? i've had it half-way happen once and i dont ever want it to happen again.

just baby wheelies

is a tank slapper considered a stunt? i don't think anyone ever did one on purpose???

:wtf:

Wobble, shimmy, tank-slapper,[1] speed wobble, and even death wobble are all words and phrases used to describe a quick (4 - 10 Hz) oscillation of primarily just the steerable wheel(s) of a vehicle. Initially, the rest of the vehicle remains mostly unaffected, until translated into a vehicle yaw oscillation of increasing amplitude producing loss of control. Vehicles that can experience this oscillation include bikes, both motorcycles and bicycles, skateboards, and in theory any vehicle with a single steering pivot point and a sufficient amount of freedom of the steered wheel, including that which exist on some light aircraft with tricycle gear where the instability can occur at speeds of less than 50 mph; this does not include most automobiles. However, coil-sprung vehicles with a track bar setup such as the Jeep WJ, XJ, ZJ, TJ, and JK with both stock and after-market suspension lifts may have this problem also. The initial instability occurs mostly at high speed and is similar to that experienced by shopping cart wheels and aircraft landing gear.

See how he busts out the tank slapper dance?

Just search tank slapper on youtube...you'll get the idea.

Here's another guy who goes down very hard...didnt have much gear on either. Looks like maybe a 3/4 helmet jeans and some useless gloves. Description says he ended up with a busted face, hands and a broke shoulder...ATGATT!

wow that looks like it would feel terrible for the balls >.>

maybe men should call it nut slappers XD

nutslappers are what happen when you're too close to the tank and hit a bump. they knock you off the bike in the sense that you have to pull over and stop riding for 20 minutes.

unfortunately i've been there before :(
