Ya take a rider safety course, maybe watch a couple of Ride Like a Pro videos and you're ready to shred the canyons, right. Looked like he took his hand off the bars to flip somebody off. Wonder why he didn't just force the front wheel into the asphalt a bit, help the tread get a bite, stand himself right back up and keep on goin'. And before somebody asks, no, I probably couldn't do it better but at least I'm smart enough to know it and to suppress the need to go out and prove it !!!

 

He needs a riding class from XRX and his Supermodel girlfriend.
He was probably over the 1400 mile mark on the tires. So that didn't help either.

 

He was giving the 2 finger salute to the "Killboy" photographer on the left-----not a smart thing---Ive ridden that many times ,,Like most that have will say : do not lose focus for a second---the road will eat you----PAY ATTENTION-----it,s not a racetrack as some think

Rocker

 

Harley Davidson Touring bike..... $25K, sometimes ++

Go Pro outfit attached to the bike to memorialize "epic run" on US 129..... $300.00

Not being able to negotiate a corner while giving someone on the side of the road the backwards "Look at me I'm cool" peace sign ? .....PRICELESS

 

Yeah, taking a bagger on 'The Dragon' with total disregard for the law......gotcha!

 

 

That corner almost always has standing water and mud splashed onto the pavement. You can see the water in the picture. I don't know if that attributed to this crash or not. Mainly I think inexperienced foreign rider showing off to the photographer. I have yet to ever scrape on the Dragon after over 50 passes on that road and I do not ride it slow. Only twice have I had to let faster crotch rockets go around me.

 

What gets me about this guy is he could have killed someone coming the other way. How would YOU like to be that guy ? ****' me off when people ride beyond their skill set. I bet most here would want to beat the crap out of him if he would have hit you. No right to endanger innocent people.

 

A Russian rider on a rental bike, getting the most out of his travel dollar, is now an instant sensation after he uploads his viral video to his Russian friends. He will forever be famous and notorious as the one who rode the Dragon intentionally beyond his riding ability. I am surmising the right side fall was part of the stunt.
What is it about the daring mindset that develops when filming your own death defying activity for the audience of millions? Is GoPro creating a culture of adrenaline infused show-offs?
