I was going to this spot my friend and I had found a couple of weeks ago to do some riding, it was a huge empty industrial park(somewhere near marietta/canton). We got there saturday and there were a whole bunch of guys riding, and doing some awesome stunts. I wanted to practice my wheelies, but these guys were doing 2mph no handers and all other kinds of crazy stuff. I just parked my bike and watched.
My buddie on the other hand... couldn't resist. He got out there and started popping wheelies, a couple higher than he hit before. He was trying to find the balance point.... well.... after a couple of really high ones, maybe 1130, he pulled one up and over. He hit the tail on the ground, sort of jumped off, landed on his arse and rolled. The bike slammed down (92 zx6r) and shattered to pieces. Everyone there ran to help him, got him up and pushed his bike off the lot, and started picking up the little pieces of glass and plastic. They were really helpful and nice considering we were a couple of greenhorns out there.
I was wondering if anybody got that on tape, i saw one guy filming but that was after the crash. My friend would love to see what he did(from another view). If any of you guys taped that or know someone that was there please let me know. I'd also like to go riding one day if yall are planning a trip somewhere, you guys were really cool for all your help.
As for the bike, bent forks, crooked swingarm, broke clipons, shattered front light, plastics, blinkers, brake resevoir, rear light, blinkers, rim bent, license plate numbers shaved off.
As for my buddy, just a little upset he cant do anymore wheelies(hardheaded or maybe has a deathwish) and a really sore arse, luckily didn't break his tailbone or worse.
As for me, witnessing a crash for the first time, ive got a whole new respect for the machine, and for all of you riders who spend years practicing the stunts.
Hey Georgia Stunt groups... practice last saturday...
