Ouch! Didn't get killed, but the way he slid I bet he ended up with a bad case of monkey butt! Watching him slide is a good ad for ATGATT. Firstgear or one of the other companies should buy the rights to the video.

This is one of the reasons I only ride in groups with people I know. Otherwise you have no idea what the fool beside or in front of you is going to do.

I was surprised at the shorts. If he didn't stay on his back, he wouldn't have any knees. (Dumb $hit Squid)

What an idiot. Makes the rest of us "normal" riders look bad.

He will carry scars for the rest of his life. I'll bet he won't be asked to ride with that group again!

Thumbs Up

I don't know about that, half of them probably told him how "Cool" it was! Looks like Darwin has his work cut out for him.

Those following him were the lucky ones...minding their own business when all of a sudden there's a bike, sideways, in front of them! Scary!

He was lucky, and stupid. If it were meant to be ridden on one wheel it would have been called a unicycle instead of a motorcycle. Or something like that anyway.

Well not only is he low on smarts pulling stunts in shorts and running shoes in a large group, seems to me they are all lucky he didn't cause a multiple pile up.
