Trackday video from Spring Mountain Motorsports Park in Pahrump, NV 3/25/12 - Ride Reports - VFR Touring/Riding

I haven't been around too much these days, but I thought this one turned out real well so I thought I'd share.  If nothing else, skip to the end and watch me avert a highside!!!

couldnt tell if you came off or not.

Great stuff.  My videos are cowering over there in a corner.

Very nice video and great music. So, you did not get off at the end, right?
C

So does that mean you went from high to low instead?
Nice video, and riding as well..............

:fing02: Great video and glad you managed to save it.

no crash, just a lot of puckering!!! :tour: :tour: :tour:

Nice save at the end and great video. I see that "the down under wonder" managed to stay on the bike. Looks like the velcro he put on his seat / track pants helped him out. :laugh:

That ain't velcro G, did you know human waste has sticking capabilities :tongue: . We had a great day, and that end part.......i've seen that firsthand more than once now, seems to be a regular occurance. Too bad I had my GoPro off the right side of my bike otherwise I would've caught it as well, multiple angles would've been good.

That is a great vid. Make me "wow" out loud.

That was close but great vid  ............

Great vid. Not a fan of the music though. I likes my rock but less music volume is better. More bike music!

Awesome video and an even better save!  

What song is that?  I definitely need to add that to my music.

Making a note to watch this tonight when I can get on youtube. I'm doing this track at the end of April

Great video.  Perfect ending.

Thanks for the feedback everyone, I thought this one turned out really well!  The music is a song called "Hell Yeah" by Rev Theory...

nice one for sure and glad you didn't highside! They Suck!!!!!

Hey Todd, nice video and riding. What tires were you running out there? Was it a harsh down shift that caused the slide  or what? I'm going to do WSIR  May 28th.  PM if you are interested.

I actually downshifted one gear to many into first coming out of that corner.  You can see the camera shake right as I'm entering the turn as the bike doesn't have a slipper clutch.  I got on the gas a little too hard coming out and that's what happened.  I just run BT0-16's when i'm on the track as they are a solid tire and are reasonably priced...
