aw man ive seen that on a european bike site made me cringe then and it still does

[Beau "Bo"]

sounded like he hit the rev limiter and dropped the clutch? That bike almost did a back flip he looped it so hard

That was Kyle Woods from Triple XXXtreme. He is a GREAT rider.
What *happened* here is that two riders were sharing a bike for a competition. He was NOT supposed to be out there without a helmet. He was riding the bike from one competitor to another, decided to revlimiter the bike, and the clutch cable broke. That is what I know. I don't know what % of that is true, just what I was told.

Kyle had a pretty bad concussion (sp) and I think broke his leg.

What are the odds. Picture his face. When the clutch cable broke (if what you said is true) while trying to please the fans with a little bike noise. :eek:

Hmmm, he wasn't hitting the rev limiter when he wheelied....I'm sure it busted his face pretty well.

What was that cop doing?

[Scuba]

I think the cop was being nice. He looks like he is half-heartedly trying to pull them over.
