This particular bit of video caused a lot of discussion on a recent trip, so here's your chance to have a say on what you think really happened

I'd suggest watching the rear wheel closely....

Stalled it, cant see his hand anywhere near the brake level until he is at 45°
That wont stop it from falling

Never mind the rear wheel.........how about the orchestra stalls impacting the tank ?

The six a bit big for you to handle mate? You might have to swap for the pocket bike Russ is on in the photo comp thread.

As for what caused it. The rear wheel locked up so I'd say he stalled it but I voted goose anyway.

Sucks when you lose your balance like that. Much damage done to the bike?

Pretty obvious bit of a panic starts to take of then hits the front brake looses balance and bingo

It'd wouldn't be funny if it happened to somebody other than Pinchy

Nah mate...Backed the throttle off just after taking off, to avoid a rider he thought was gunna let him in... and bingo drops revs till the motor stalls, then overbalances! I reckon near on everyone has done it. If not you most likely will at some point!

Where he really went wrong was lifting the left leg outta the way! you have to leave it there to protect the fairings as the bike goes over!
(unless you are riding by yourself! )

Stalled it, hehe ya can see the back wheel lock up for just a second

watch the rear brake light it's on all the time . as the front wheel turns under with the brake the rest is history. . should have held the bike still with the rear brake and waited till he had a clear run on to the road .

yeh looks like that. Obviously not too fimiliar with the clutch


The way he went down it looks like he couldnt even touch the ground from the seat, how embarassing indeed!

umm I'd say the nice green 6 hate the sight of those shocken red boots and lifted Owen off as an ultimatum...

I voted Brakes, pinchy may've pinched the front a bit too much....

cheers

Not sure if im crazy but the motor still seems to be running when the bike starts to fall

Ive nearly done that twice! But luckily i caught it both times and brought it back up.
