Dang you got both forks with that?! Any idea why you crashed? Looked like a lot of lean but not impossible.

How'd the airbag work out before it tore? Worth it? Which system do you have and what are your thoughts on it?

What the hell caused you to spill?

he was dragging a peg in the morning sessions, thinking he just drug one a little too hard and got the rear too light and out it went.

I got him the SPIDI T2 with the neck DPS system....spendy, but after this crash money well spent....porbably saved the collar bone and a neck injury to boot.

I find it pretty amazing how he did so much damage. The video didn't look too bad. I think the grunt of the damage was caused when the bike flipped onto the other side after it slide in the dirt.

Is that turn off camber or sloping? What front tire does he have? I had a similar thing happen this past saturday.

Yeah that seemed odd that he went down like that and caused all that damage. That bike flipping was motorcycle jesus slapping you on the wrist haha. Glad everyone is okay. That picture of the deployed air bag is sweet!!

I didn't think it was that bad either watching from the infield. It is just a fast turn with a little degree of banking. he does like to lean a lot,replaced the woodcraft rearsets with vortex,gained about 1/2" in altitude and cut 1/2" off end of peg,shouldn't have anymore issues, and get him to hang off a little more too.

I suspect the rear was the culprit, the front is bridgestone R10 and an 003rs rear. I really wish they would come out with the R10 in sizes down to 140 for the 250's. Vendor said the 003rs don't like heat.
