I'm sure everyone remembers, but two things this video can remind us is not to lock the elbow and keep the weight off the arms :thumbup:

His body positioning sucked. That's all I have to say.

That guy is a known professional stunt man and does this all the time, in front of the camera, just to freak people out.

Yes, he's got bad body positioning. But it had very little to do with his crash. Like most crashes on the exit of that corner, it was poor throttle control. He rolls on just harder than the rear can take, spins it up enough to lose traction, realizes it too late to do anything about it, and the bike comes around on him.

Better body positioning would have made for slightly less lean angle and a small amount of better traction, but with the same throttle mistake it would have made for the same video anyway.

Could that happen on our 250's? Or would that take a much larger twist of the wrist?

As near as I can tell the root-cause of the mishap is that there were too many tattoos in the area.

Sure it could happen, but it would be less likely.
