Nice Save!

choneofakind · October 10th, 2012, 05:54 PM

Ducati rider went wide and did just the right thing; stood it up, slowed down, and when he got to the dirt, use the rear brake gingerly and kept it upright. He also stood up and rode it like a mountain bike.

Most importantly, he kept a cool head and didn't panic!! Props Mr Ducati rider

All that nice gear, a beautiful yellow bike and still can't ride.

choneofakind · October 10th, 2012, 06:38 PM

^^ Agreed!!!

in his defense though, he's in quite a few other videos from that same youtube account, and he looked just fine in all the others.

Very good example of a good save and transition from asphalt to dirt!

Good rider/bad rider, falling sux... nice save.

That even makes it worse, since he knows the road. I guess it's called a brain fart.

hmmm, maybe he's an uber squid because he bought a Duc while he was learning? That's a good excuse for sucking.

Nice save yes.... most likely watching the person videoing instead of looking where he was supposed to.

alex.s · October 11th, 2012, 12:35 PM

he didn't save anything? he came in hot, scared himself, coasted around the corner, got a sqirm and rode into the dirt...

he would have been fine if he just leaned it over and got back on the gas and aimed for the exit instead of staring at the camera man that he thinks he's going to hit
