Helmet cam video of my friend wrecking his CRF 450R

[2bscrewed]

He didn't get hurt, but the video is pretty funny. It's amazing how much you don't see until you watch it in slow motion.

Good thing he was wearing gear. I remember my first jump I attempted wearing blue jeans and a t shirt. I ended up with rash all over my hips, arms and legs. Never again.

I've seen three year old's crash bigger than that. And they were all girls!

Ya, I'm sure he would have been much worse without all the gear. I really need to get some for myself. All I wear is helmet, gloves and boots.

When I was into racing I geared up haha. Full suit, boots, chest protector, helmet, goggles, etc... I went the whole 9 yards for that. Just screwing around though I just put my helmet and gloves on. I need to get another fourwheeler some day, I miss riding alot. My friend just wrecked his YZF 450 the other day, about the same way but was going over some whoops, landed on his wrist and broke it.

That's when you get up, hop back on, and GO FASTER! :burnout:

Usually I keep pushing it until I wreck and then back off a bit.

I'm getting pretty good at getting back up quick and acting like nothing happened before anyone notices. Gotta preserve the ego.

sounds like you ride about the same way i used to. Run harder and harder until you bit it good than back it off 1 click and keep it there.

I knew he was in trouble when he landed with no power.:lol: Always have the power on when you land. It makes the landing softer and more in control.

 

[VirtualSVT]

that's gonna hurt lol

Plus for him wearing protective gear. I'm sure he was very happy he had it. Definitely funny to watch it in slowmo. Especially knowing he wasn't hurt.

I might take you up on that offer for my son. He is 9 and just started riding his crf 80 this past weekend and loved it.

Thank you I"m very proud of him:-D. We will be at LST for the Halloween race. My son just started riding again after a 7 month rehab after a bad high speed crash that separated his shoulder and required surgery to repair. We are about an hour north of LST.
We are just going out to ride and not expecting a win or anything. Just want to go out and have fun untill he gets his speed back.

Its nice to see you taking time to take your boy racing. If more familys did stuff like this there would be allot less kids in trouble. My son and I have had the best times of our lives at the track. :beer:

Glad he was wearing gear. My buddie rides a Yz125 n he makes everybody on a 250/450 look silly. He has so many trophies. Been wanting a dirtbike I just don't have time as much. Hardly ride my quad tho lol.

I'm gonna take as much as I can get while they are still young. Hopefully they keep enjoying it into their teenage years.

Ya, the rider is waaay more important than the bike.
