Okay so in 1 year of stunt riding I've never properly flipped a wheely, I've stepped off the back many times but never flipped without being in control of the bike.. well today I was doing slow sit down wheelies and I gave it too much clutch, didn't catch it on the brake in time, the exhaust scraped, instead of falling straight off the back the bike pancaked (went sideways) and my left leg caught the spikey motocross peg I put on 30 mins earlier due to breaking the standard one Embarassed I've scuffed my right elbow and I took quite an impact on my left leg, it hurts a lot but not from the cut, feels boney/muscley pain, will have to see how it goes.. Laughing

Unfortunately it wasn't caught on camera but I thought I'd share it on here Laughing

Remember kids, if you gonna be dumb, you better be tough!! (i'm the first one at least Embarassed Laughing )

You don't know your limit until you flip it and sometimes you need to find
it a fair few times. Wink

Lol, its gonna happen to me sooner or later.

I had a stand up earlier where something touched something (i was sat trying to work out what, but mebbe chest to tank or screen or summit, was concentrating on the not dying bit) for a second. So they're obviously not low Thumbs Up

Then the next one i tried the rear (pillion) footpeg tried to fold in on me, so i landed it just as it clicked in.

Karma

Also exacerbated by the wheelies still being launched in second at 30 and ending ~80-100 odd Laughing

Binning it is gonna hurt me, mainly in the wallet though.

This is why stunters who survive concentrate on car park stuff.

Sure you can die doing a 20-30-40mph wheelie in a carpark, but your more likely to get killed doing a 120mph wheelie down a A road/motorway/outside of a school.

Keep up the good works Sparks!

P.S ALMOST BACK ON BIKE!!!!
And i have a picture of a seat stander but it's a bit hard to tell
