Is this for real?

Ninjinsky · May 12th, 2014, 06:18 AM

I am debating with myself whether this pic from the gallery is the set of tires I dream of.. Or 1.25 seconds from a mobile 911 call

CajunNinjaR · May 12th, 2014, 06:38 AM

Has to be a crash In progress, no? Seems like way too much lean angle and too much rider contact, but then I don't know anything!

Is that a pic of @Dmented? Blue and white leathers, I think so...

EternalNewb · May 12th, 2014, 09:27 AM

Yeah, that's @Dmented. If I'm not mistaken, it's from last year at Chuckwalla, right before a lowside on an off-camber turn on the back, running the track clockwise.

Trailerboy531 · May 12th, 2014, 10:01 AM

That is @Dmented. It's a picture from the March 2014 round at Chuckwalla Valley Raceway with CVMA.

He was, indeed, going down

But that crazy fool drags elbow through that corner all day.

alex.s · May 12th, 2014, 10:35 AM

check out the sweet darky he left. it's like his bike was eating some of max's fish tacos the night before and couldn't make it back to the pits in time.

alex.s · May 12th, 2014, 10:36 AM

that is turn 12, which i believe is not off camber... it seems banked on the inside to me.

EternalNewb · May 12th, 2014, 10:53 AM

Oh, ok. For some reason, I thought He crashed somewhere on that little hill on the back side, maybe between 9 and 10. On this map, those look like they aren't off-camber either though. My bad.

FAKE, although the riders looks straight up, you can't get the earth sideways like that (even though it's round, the earth always looks horizontal, except for mountains and valleys).

cbinker · May 12th, 2014, 11:38 AM

could be one of the best Photochops ever!

I meant are those tires really still holding with him scraping the edge of his boots, or was it the exact frame after the point of no return but it just looks like cornering by God.

see that big black streak under him? that's the streak left by his sliding front tire.

Trailerboy531 · May 12th, 2014, 12:27 PM

Also it was the exit of turn 13 where he lost it, not turn 12

.

He was doing about 90mph.

And yes, he's fine.
