firstly, look at his disabling comments and the remark he puts at the top of the video. then skip to 1:35 and watch and listen. decide for yourself, but the guy is a clueless idiot. this just sums up every single clip i've ever seen from the guy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DLgmlZQg2XM
every single time he ever does something wrong he says 'i locked up either the front or the rear, i don't know which!' you'd know full well after picking yourself up if you locked your front wheel on a Ninja 250r. that's what happens when you ignore the 128567123 chevrons and the rider slowing down on the bend and charge your corners.
His road positioning is appalling, and he just gives a commentary that makes you want to stuff the microphone down his throat till the agonal breathing starts.
i despise the guy. he's an idiot and people look up to him. like Ben said above, people watch his videos before they know how to use a bike. he's such a poor role model and sets an horrendous example of cycling.
Have just been watching through some other stuff of his-
He does have a 650, so must have changed. He's mildly entertaining, but yeah.
He doesn't know how to ride
Was watching him vs. a friend on Ninjas a minute ago, and for a sudden stop, he pulled the clutch in and braked...
Oh well. Mildly entertaining.
Anyone watched Shockofgod? He's quite good if you can overlook the constant religious chatter.
i saw the one of Shockofgod nearly getting killed and the guy in the truck claiming someone drove into his lane so he in turn had to go into the bike's. load of bollocks.
Well he'd be quite good as a background programme (he is on a radio show after all)...
But there's quite a few videos where he gets a bit evangelical, I guess is the word.
Well... some people actually DO say that the best way to do an emergency stop is to pull the clutch.
If you were very experienced, then I could be inclined to agree.
AFTER all, ABS bikes, you are supposed to pull the clutch...
