Default Landing gear malfunction

What's wrong with this picture ?
http://youtu.be/NR6_f-fry9A Didn't even notice the pipe sound at first. That's not what they mean by "drag" racing. Sorry if this is one of you guys.

I saw to guys riding harleys yesterday and they would drag their feet a good 20 to 30 feet before putting them on the pegs, I dont know why anyone would do this. One day they will run over their own feet and learn. Or not who knows.

That is the new procedure they teach you in their riding course that way they can sell more boots

Too many newbies that spend money to be " cool" but don't know how to ride. I hate seeing foot draggers.
