Once his foot started to get pulled under/back, that was the beginning of the end for him as his whole body started to get pulled in that direction too, and the bike followed. Glad he wasn't hurt.
Every time I grind the boards, my first reaction is to lift my foot. Probably a bad reaction, but it is instinctive. The board pushes up on my foot. Of course, I have never ground them that hard. I usually straighten up and slow down (get off the throttle, touch the back brakes) when I first hear them grinding.
I do have floorboard extensions, so they probably grind a lot sooner than that guy's did.
That was great! Never even used the front brake! I think he tap the back brake and it came out from under him. Whats with putting the foot out? He aint on dirt LOL Poor bike, lucky rider
I agree. I've had that happen to me but I didn't go down. Once the foot comes up and the floorboards lean too far, the back of the bike starts to kick out. It's scary as hell.
I'm glad the guy was able to jump up and walk away. It could have been much worse.
I watched the video a few times and it seems that when he let his foot slide off the floorboard and hit the saddle bag he jerked the bars to pull himself up and oopsie.
