Damn... Men amongst boys and a show boater through and through... He crashed at the beginning by showboating and still caught back-up no problem.. Then continued the showboating..

Dig it!

I was sceptical when I read the title of this thread, but that was awesome. Thanks for sharing it.

That's one pass "high on the outside." Try passing the whole field, inside, outside, anywhere and everywhere.

That's a good one.
I still think the best was Zanardi on Herta at Laguna Seca. Still a touchy subject with Herta to this day. FYI, don't bring it up if you ever meet him in person.

Nah, I wouldn't have called what he did before the crash showboating. If the front wheel pitches up on certain jumps, you add some body english to see where you are landing. Other jumps you can just keep it straight to see what is going on below. There are other variables as well that may require some mid-air body adjustments. The lip of the jump, lean angle, speed, wind, and if the preferred line is along a curve.

Looks like he slipped a pedal when he hit the ground, or it popped out of his clip-in.

Regardless, that wall ride was the *****.
