Definitely helped with the head and facial injuries. Who were the assholes that planed this flawed stunt, children? Is this your way of promoting helmet use?
Nine, I raced motocross for yrs, and until recently so did my kids. She hit that ramp way to fast for a single ramp jump, #2 She kept her throttle full out causing the bike to rotate nose over. When the rotation started she should have hit the back break which would have stopped the rotation and even leaned back to try to right the fall. #3 bikes like this were never ment to fall 50-60' streight down on asphault. Most than likely would have broken the frame @ the neck. She's just lucky her next wheeled devise isn't a wheel chair!
Really?? I've always thought just the opposite happens.
I too did some racing, think you ment to say...if you hit the throttle in mid air that brings the front up, tap the brake, front end down. If you listen she did hit the throttle, she was just too inexperienced to perform this kind of a jump.
Not to nitpick, but applying the back brake actually lightens the rear. Applying the throttle weights the rear end. That's why guys that start to nosedive apply throttle. I used to race MotoX too. :up:
