Squid flipping through the air
Biker gets up after hitting a parked car and flipping into the side of a building. Wearing a helmet, t-shirt, and some regular pants.

Re: Squid flipping through the air
What the fuck was he doing? He was going straight at the car like it wasn't there.

Re: Squid flipping through the air

It's lives. Not lifes. More reading, less time jerking off in the mirror at the gym.

Re: Squid flipping through the air
He probably got fixated on the car. Surprised he got up, probably wouldn't have if he hadn't been wearing a helmet. Looks like his head smacked that building pretty good.

He had to have fixated on that car. There was no reason for him to be near it. Like everyone else said this is 1 lucky kid. That helmet saved his life

Re: Squid flipping through the air
Look at the video again, his shoe flies off on impact and hits the wall and the floor first and his lands on it. Don't know why I focused on that.

Well this makes me feel a little better about owning the same Icon Alliance helmet. (Pretty sure that's what it is) Note to self... Just because I have the squid gear doesn't mean I have to test it out like this guy.

in every crash vid where the rider was wearing sneakers i have ever seen, the rider's sneakers are the first to go.
i bet that guy feels like an ass for winding it and then target fixating.

Re: Squid flipping through the air
Poor Bike...Classic how the driver just walks 2FT. from the car and looks at the guy that just flipped through the air past him. Lol. And then he looks at his car! I mean yea id be pissed too if my Lemon just got smashed up by a squid but, I'd be running over to see how far the riders shoe landed from the crash! Lmfao....
