Re: what happened to this guy?

i think you posted the wrong link, he didnt bring it down softly at all. in fact that was the opposite of softly.

Re: what happened to this guy?

when he stands it up he turns the bars to the right, and doesn't straighten it out before he comes down...thats why you always have an after market damper...that could just as easily happen shifting, especially from 1st to 2nd.

Re: what happened to this guy?

Not only did he not put it down straight, most of his weight was still on the left peg. Weight needs to be pretty balanced in order for a slapper to smooth out, especially when you put it down all jacked up like he did. He didn't stand a chance.

He should have picked up the throttle and made another wheelie to get out of that.
