Amazing save!

Apex · June 4th, 2009, 03:10 PM

Here is why body positioning and all that greatness comes in handy...when your back end comes out on you.

I watched this race and Hacking is one heck of a rider. Part luck, part skill, all awesome.

and again - wow!

hybridxx · June 13th, 2009, 08:25 PM

that second is is simply...amazing...that is ridiculous.

BlueRaven · June 13th, 2009, 08:57 PM

Snake · June 14th, 2009, 08:07 AM

Wow only a proffesional could do that. Years of riding helped him do that.

body positioning saved him because once the bike started going out, he most likely drove his left knee into the ground to keep the bike upright and, well if you saw pictures of it, he actually had his forearm on the ground pushing up on the bike as well.

There was a whole lot of luck going on there, but the body position is what was actually made recovery possible. You have bad position, you'd never have a chance of saving something like that.

SCREEM · June 15th, 2009, 07:33 PM

Ahhhhh!!

Does this make anyone get else get tense? Yikes!

Apex · June 16th, 2009, 06:56 PM

That last one would have made me freak out. You are on an actual road, taking flight and then throwing severe headshake into the whole equation. WOW!

hybridxx · June 21st, 2009, 09:47 PM

think i might've have found a better one...dont think it took much skill then the other recoveries..but this one is pretty interesting nonetheless lol..

I've seen links to that one before, it's fake; it's from some overseas commercial. Fantastic visual, though.

all nice lol.

JaeL · July 21st, 2009, 11:58 AM

ha the guy falling off the back and then getin back on is pretty funny

Apex · July 24th, 2009, 07:23 AM

It kind of makes sense that it is fake. After he got off the bike, it kept altering its movements. It dips left (right visually) then back up right again, and repeats. Once that sucker is rolling on its own, and it dips to a side, it will continue to fall that way until it hits the ground. It would need some kind of steering input to right itself, which of course it didn't have.

Alex · May 9th, 2011, 07:35 PM

Jamie Hacking has skills. It's a shame he hasn't found a ride the last year or two.

aldenso · May 9th, 2011, 08:33 PM

Best how-to vid i've seen in a while

JeffM · May 9th, 2011, 09:41 PM

I'll see your Jamie Hacking save and raise you a Randy Mamola save - one of the best ever!

Those are all incredibly good saves!

bdavison · May 10th, 2011, 05:56 AM

So now we know....if you get into a highside...HANG ON. You might be able to save it.

CZroe · May 11th, 2011, 06:14 AM

I just don't see how you can get back on the seat without giving the wrong handlebar inputs if you don't have anything to push your feet off of.

CC Cowboy · May 11th, 2011, 08:03 AM

The only problem with saving the bike, after a near crash like those, is the squishy feeling in the seat of your leathers.

These "rights" only happen on rare occassions. Mamola has some of the wildest crashes in racing (which he didn't save).
