Dont let a single person try to convince you that you were in the wrong or that there was plenty of time and room to evade. That dude needs to go back to school or quit one.
Man this is wild and certainly infuriating. From the insane maneuver that caused the wreck to the track volunteers giving conflicting commands "get back", "there's an extinguisher right there if you wanna try", "dude sit down". Then telling the paramedics you're the one who's 'loopy'. No way anyone would've put that fire out if you hadn't. Glad to see you up and walking. Hope the bikes repairable.
Track yaahoo who told me not to put my own bike out would get a close-up of the knuckle protection on my racing gloves. He should be fired and sued. The idiot that cut all the way across a high speed staightaway should get his racing liscense torn up in front of him and banned from all tracks!
Holy shit I’m doing about 160 at that point . So glad your alive to post this . That bike sliding for so long tells it all . Dude should have made a courtesy look before changing lines . ….
Yea people who haven’t been to this track don’t realize how fast this part of the track is.. my video does it no justice either. I was about 150.. and there isn’t a simple “you should have turned left” or “just turn right bro” at those speeds. Any turn I would have done might have changed where I hit him by a few inches.. just wish I would have slowed down sooner, but I honestly didn’t think he was coming all the way over. Live and learn I suppose
What a ride, my brain couldn’t comprehend people going out on wets, until I say the fucking river half way through. What a mess, the Marshalls were shocking, I was kinda stunned. Glad you’re ok, all things considered could have been a lot worse. Obviously goes without saying, the other rider is a goober and needs to reevaluate his racing career. Hope you’re back out there soon brother!
That track worker was an idiot. Ain’t nobody gonna stand there with a fire extinguisher in their hand and not try to stop their bike from burning to the ground.
Damn man that was unfortunate. Btw i dont blame you one bit for ignoring the track marshall about not stepping aside and trying to put the fire out yourself. F that. He wont be the one paying for the extended damages
Exactly my thoughts.. I’m also probably more qualified anyways given I’m a firefighter as my main job. I wasn’t about to take the time to explain that to him though lol
This was a really scary thing to see on track, I'm glad you were ok dude I feared the worst seeing you on the ground like that and the bike on fire. This goes as a perfect lesson to everyone that you gotta always be looking AND if you ever go off pace a foot out or a arm up and obviously dont cut into the line of other racers. I cant wait to see you at barber with the rebuilt 10R, if ya ever need anything dude just drop me a line
Damn dude, glad you’re ok and was able to get up, walk and put out your own bike. That’s crazy, I was in that race but was in the pits. I heard there was a red flag on the sight lap, now I know/see what happened. Again glad you’re good, that’s the fastest part of the track but it’s a sighting lap so you’re not pushing as you normally would. Yeah, it’s totally that guys fault no question; I know that guy too. That just didn’t make sense. Like someone else said there’s always something to learn for every situation. I can’t believe the corner workers slow response; especially that your bike was fire. The only thing I can think of is they we’re waiting for the all clear / the last bike to pass before going on the track. Still slow response regardless. See you at Barber man.
At the end of it, we both walked away to race another day. Feelings and what not aside, that’s all that really matters. I’m not too sure why nobody came out.. I figured if the ambulance is on the track it’s been cleared but there’s another video out there that shows that might not be the case.. I’m just glad I got it out before it was too bad
I Don't do track days but at the beginning I noticed this Guy's tires on a dry track and how he obnoxiously revs his engine at 2:03 and I immediately thought I bet he has something to do with the wreck
That dude needs to go back into novice for some tows. I get why he went off line, to try to be nice and let faster bikes have the line, but that swing back into the line was unpredictable AF and he should have just rode the line and let others pass as needed. Really hope he at least got talked to and understands that he is 100% at fault on this one. We all F up and make bad choices on the track sometimes, and I know it's big boy rules out there, but a F up like that would have me offering to at least help with fixing the bike/replacing gear. More riders need to accept actual responsibility when they are clearly the ones at fault. Also.... I don't blame you 1 bit for putting the fire out with the official yelling lol. I know they tell you not to touch the bike after the bar ends touch the ground, but f that, if my shits on fire, track's clear, and I have an extinguisher.... I'm putting it out. Hopefully it'd not too bad, see ya soon!
Absolutely garbage staff nobody moved or ran to see if you needed help, that right there could of been the matter between life an death! CMRA get to you asap no matter if you are up an walking or not! That is insane, an then told you to grab the fire extinguisher yourself Absolutely pathetic
What kind of line was that?! Was he stopping by the drive thru to grab some Ben and Jerry's and then realized it was time for the turn? You were a passenger at that point, not much you can do. Hope you're OK!
This was the sighting lap right before the Michelin A SuperBike Exp/Nov, so Novice and Expert riders are mixed in before lining up at our spots on the starting grid. As for why, I was told he was looking down at his dash by an official that spoke to him.
This whole situation looked like a cluster duk from the very beginning. Did marshall come out from behind the wall with an extinguisher in his hand? I hope the event organizer takes a good look at this video and makes some changes beginning with how they bring the bikes to pit out. I hope the rider who took you out learns from his mistake
I don’t think so, I’m pretty sure there was just a random extinguisher on the wall lol lucky me. I hit my head pretty good in the crash so I didn’t even realize I was next to it until somebody told me it was there.. wild stuff
There is always an extinguisher right there big orange arrow under it on the wall. Only problem is corner worker have to slide through a fence run across the track to get it. They won’t do that until someone says track clear.
WTH? Why is there no track officials there and why is it taking them so long to respond? Is there no use of radios or anything? Hope everything turned out okay.
Ima need Yammienoob to go over this one in a fair and unbiased way. Here fellas, there’s always something for us to learn in order to become better riders. What we do, whether it’s a sport or lifestyle, it’s a craft at the end of the day.
I saw the rider, and all the other riders around me… what I didn’t have was a RUclips video showing me what he was going to do like everybody watching this video has. I did my best to guess what he was going to do.. which was probably speed back up or cut to the middle knowing everybody is hugging left while accelerating. He did neither so I guessed wrong. Nothing more to it really than to learn, rebuild, and do better next time. Appreciate it man.
Dont let a single person try to convince you that you were in the wrong or that there was plenty of time and room to evade. That dude needs to go back to school or quit one.
100% on this. No chance it wasn't that guys fault. Swinging left 20 ft on a 100+ mph straight away is dumb af.
Its just part of racing . Many see the success and not the deadly fails.
Thanks man. I definitely had no plans on placing blame but I’m finding myself defending myself a bit more than I expected.
@@mads1k Rules mostly state at least 15 ft in some places and this many riders makes it harder.
The dude in blue is an absolute f-ing idiot. Hold your line and be predictable. One of the simplest rules during a track day to follow.

Repairing it as we speak 🤙🏼 hopefully will be racing it at Barber in July
Track yaahoo who told me not to put my own bike out would get a close-up of the knuckle protection on my racing gloves. He should be fired and sued.
The idiot that cut all the way across a high speed staightaway should get his racing liscense torn up in front of him and banned from all tracks!
As a 3 year track rider the best advice I ever received was to always be predictable, what an idiot
Swoopers! So dangerous. Swooping all the way across the track as if they own the place...in the middle of a straight section...BOO
I would detail his wrongs when he recovers from our second meeting...
No question of fault.
Glad you're ok👊🇺🇸
100% not your fault. Glad you are ok.
Holy shit I’m doing about 160 at that point . So glad your alive to post this . That bike sliding for so long tells it all . Dude should have made a courtesy look before changing lines . ….

Sorry that happen. glad you're ok. Always have to watch out for people doing stupid shit.
That track worker was an idiot. Ain’t nobody gonna stand there with a fire extinguisher in their hand and not try to stop their bike from burning to the ground.

That's a pretty nasty crash. I'll get your wheel race ready ASAP!
That’s wild man. I saw both my buddy’s go buy you I wanted to see what happened now I know. Heal quick glad you’re good bud.
Thanks man 🤙🏼
Damn dude, glad you’re ok and was able to get up, walk and put out your own bike. That’s crazy, I was in that race but was in the pits. I heard there was a red flag on the sight lap, now I know/see what happened.

lol yea, rain tire on a dry track, it's done in one session. I was like, there is no rain why have that on.
The most unpredictable line on a straight by that guy
That dude needs to go back into novice for some tows. I get why he went off line, to try to be nice and let faster bikes have the line, but that swing back into the line was unpredictable AF and he should have just rode the line and let others pass as needed.

Track obviously needs to clean house after all the negligence lawsuits...
Rider in blue went from far right to the left!
Bro im glad you're ok and praying for a speedy recovery!!
Get well and speedy recovery.
What kind of line was that?! Was he stopping by the drive thru to grab some Ben and Jerry's and then realized it was time for the turn? You were a passenger at that point, not much you can do. Hope you're OK!
Wtf was that why that guy did that ! Whose man is that ? Which group level is this? Is that guy mental challenge? Please respond
It was a race event not track day so this was Novice racers
This was the sighting lap right before the Michelin A SuperBike Exp/Nov, so Novice and Expert riders are mixed in before lining up at our spots on the starting grid.
As for why, I was told he was looking down at his dash by an official that spoke to him.
@@mads1k bro I’m glad you’re doing ok 👌 somebody needs to have a conversation with him of things not do at track !
Dude needs to be sent back to tricycles!
dude this is fucked. Glad you're all good.
Smh. Glad you're okay.
That’s the trouble with trackdays riders of variable talent out together. He shouldn’t have pulled over into you
Unfortunately this was a race (well, the sighting lap of a race) but still true.
This whole situation looked like a cluster duk from the very beginning. Did marshall come out from behind the wall with an extinguisher in his hand?
I hope the event organizer takes a good look at this video and makes some changes beginning with how they bring the bikes to pit out. I hope the rider who took you out learns from his mistake

Its a guy in blue fault...he didnt hold his line
Wow !!!!!!!!!!
He's a little loopy😂 that guy needs to be fired
WTF ... after the replay. Blue bike was hugging right white line totally swings it the left OMG !!!
I had something similar happen to me, it fucking sucks.
Wtf. What kind of line is that. Sorry you got caught up in someone else’s stupidity. What track org was it? Any action taken?
Bike didn’t cartwheel that’s a win right there
Yessir!
Yo that is the lamest way to lose a bike. Not your fault!!
You’d think being on bikes would be harder to have a collision
People run into each other walking down hallways.. humans find a way.
@@mads1k that’s fair
NEVER underestimate the stupidity of a moron.
That looked like a beginner group
Expert and Novice at the same time. But it was also a sighting lap.. the race had not started yet.
What the hell was that guy doing. He should be responsible for damages to your motorcycle
Number 3 had to take a pee and was swerving to a tree on the left pulling 1 G.
🤣
i know you are wearing a suit and possibly an airbag? curious what impact injuries you had
Trust no one
Ima need Yammienoob to go over this one in a fair and unbiased way. Here fellas, there’s always something for us to learn in order to become better riders. What we do, whether it’s a sport or lifestyle, it’s a craft at the end of the day.
I agree that there's always something to learn, but that's probably one of the last people that should be commenting on racing incidents.
Did the guy who hit you fall?
No, he stayed up. He took some damage though.. something to do with his chain and swing arm.. not sure.
I don't understand why you didn't see that coming. I ride hard but watch other riders.Glad you are good.
I saw the rider, and all the other riders around me… what I didn’t have was a RUclips video showing me what he was going to do like everybody watching this video has.

The whole thing looks like a shit show.
