I witnessed one this summer.
Ill tell you all about it if interested, when I get home from work. |
Mine was a combination of inexperience and shitty luck.
We were ridding in a series of hills and valleys. Crested a hill, and a few buddies were stopped in front of me in the valley. I never saw them until it was too late. Slammed on the breaks, locked up the rear, did my first and only stoppie, hit two riders, high sided. I remember watching my bike rotate underneeth me as I flew through the air. Time went very slowly. Tried to stand up before I was done slidding. That wasn't fun. When I was able to stand up, I ran over and picked up the bike. 60 seconds later, a car came flying down the road, cresting the blind hill. If me and my bike would have still been sliding 60 seconds earlier, we would have both been run over. |
Came over the crest of a hill and saw a dump truck taking up both lanes of traffic while backing into a driveway. Rear wheel locked up, caught and flipped me off the bike. I landed behind the dump truck where it continued backing up... right over my left leg.

Once from locking the front brake up and trying to turn/swerve at the same time. Inexperience...totally my fault.
It was my first bike and I had only owned it 4 days and was following too close and the traffic in front of me came to a sudden stop. I was not wearing proper gear either and got road rash all the way up on both arms. Nothing like tearing up your shiny new bike with 30-day TEMP TAGS !! :lol :screwy: :db: This was also before they had MSF courses. :lol: I am now a believer in the MSF course for new riders and AGATT |
I highsided on a gap run years ago as a result of hamfisted throttle input.
|
a buddy of ours just highsided at the track this past weekend. He went about 15 feet in the air at ~90mph and landed on his feet. His legs are FUCKED. full of metal now and he won't be able to put ANY weight on them for 3months. Sucks.
