Rider on a 2017 Kawasaki 636 loses rear on the Mulholland Snake in los Angeles , CA He didn't save it but was fine. He was wearing a full leather suite and was practically on the ground when he fell. Young rider, the 636 was his first bike. Not sure how long he'd been riding but only on the Snake about a month and a half. He said his back tire pressure was 34 lbs.
Thanks for Watching

Full gear. No rash. Lesson for the t-shirt mafia.
luv2mx But he almost rubbed his face against the front tire b/c his visor was up.
You really think squids have the IQ power to understand that? Lol.
yes we do
Never seen a guy in a t-shirt, wearing leather pants, dragging knee on public roads. Dress accordingly.
Got dirt in his eyes from riding with his visor up, looking at the camera!
The amazing part is you kept everything in frame the whole time!
I was sitting slightly elevated and pretty confident a sliding bike would not hit me
This is cool, two of my favorite channels.
RNickeyMouse Excellent preparation !
Absolutely! Kudos to the camera man 👍
I think it's a woman.
All I see in this video is an intelligent rider , fully geared up , uninjured, and able to walk it off and laugh about it later during the rest of the day with his family/friends.
Bikes can always be fixed and parts replaced. Medical bills in hospital also are far more expensive than bruised scratched up leathers from a low/high side crash
Boy don't you clickbait me, you know I'm gonna watch the video either way.
Haha thanks for watching
RNickeyMouse ❤️
Gotta admit though it was some smooth clickbait title to thumbnail, hats off.
It's pretty obvious what happened here. The third stone from the left of the double yellow line _glinted in the sun_ just as the rear tyre passed over it, causing micro-vulcanisation to take place, (due to the highly localised Ultra Violet energy) thus reducing the friction-coefficient enough to alter the front-rear balance dynamics. Basic lesson from this is to only negotiate The Snake when the UV-factor is obscured by at least seven-tenths cloud.
dav snow hahaha good observation!
Modern bikes have electronic UV sensors that prevent this tragedy.
So, the fetzer valve basically failed. I think we all know who’s behind that one....
Richard millhouse Nixon.
I think my brain is dead
Good call, I thought his rotorvating master arm was clackered, causing him to bin it.
I remember when I started riding with the intent of going fast I too had my tire pressures waaaaay too high and couldn't understand how my friends were able be comfortable on such a twitchy bike. I quickly learned the "max tire pressure" isn't where you want your tire pressure to be, lol.
Omg I'm sorry that's just too funny, I made that mistake as a kid once 😂
newbie rider here, may i know the reccomended tire pressure for better corner control?
@@GameMasterAddict23580% of Max is the best tire pressure according to European standards
You never need to ask what went wrong. There's always like 100 guys ready to give their "expert" opinion lol.
@SuTen roflmao
😂😂😂😂😂and it be people that don't even ride motorcycles tho
Probably got object fixation from the numbscull sitting on the shoulder.
He drag his left knee slider at last..
Clearly he was supposed to stay up on the two round rubber thingys........but didn't.😞
On the bright side he can say he put his elbow down on the snake
He can say he put his entire body down
90 degree lean - check
Did you see the way he put his face down? His open visor hit the tire. If he'd been off by just a few inches he'd be in the ER asking for a new nose.
That moment when your rear tire starts skidding and you can feel it and you just know your going down is the worst.
That just happened to me 15mins ago but didn't go down so scared yet proud of myself haha
Felt it slid while I was in the biggest lean I ever did in a turn and felt it start skidding out but I popped it back up literally just in time
Always quality content ... and, damn!!
I really miss your vids bro!
it's a girl
The J" curve at the top of The Snake is a declining radius. If you've never ridden through it, it comes up real fast and might bite you---as it did this guy. Also, there's a lot of sand on that part of the curve because it's area where vehicles often go onto the shoulder, kicking crap all over the road.
Watching this channel so long, I've lost count of how many bikes have lost it there. How is that spot not notoriously well-known among riders? Or is it some kind of challenge to go through there at 10/10?
This is a good example of a REAR tire “low side”. Glad he’s ok.
Yes. And good example of bad body position results…
love it, you're back
Wow, amazing video! And I thought he lost the front when I saw his bike yesterday. Great stuff!! Highly educational
thats why i dont care how big my chicken strip is
evan leo If you've got good sticky tires, you can confidently use the whole tire. I was amazed at the grip when switching from a touring tire to a hypersport. The only downside is they don't last as long. But with the new dual compound technology you can get increasingly more mileage.
Jman G i did go really low on my bike before until i lowsided once....
Sir Tristen never a term to describe your brain for sure，hopefully one day you win darwin award
Sir Tristen how about you quit bitching online like a bitch and get your life together
just say its a drag bike lol
trying to back it in like Ralentino Vossi
He got back on the camera right at the apex of the fall. Good form lad! Well done!
Seen a lot of your videos - pretty surprised you had the balls to film from that spot!
0:22 his face almost went in keep your visor down
Get well soon to rider & bike!
Woww. Like know laa this brother lol
This channel is almost at 1 Million! Y’all should sell it or keep it going almost there !
Rnickymouse didn't even flinch when the bike was heading straight at him..... HARDCORE!!
dat lean angle with pilot road 4, real badass
🤣Technique is more important than tires though.
@@alexxela754 And knowledge is more important than technique 😉
Dang its to bad this guy went down, he wasnt doing anything stupid and looked to be riding within his limits, that corner does put alot of folks on the floor however.
Not within the limit of the bike or the road. I don't know why people keep trying to lean to the max on a public road in a blind corner. Give yourself 5 degrees to spare. You could still look cool but stay upright.
exept the fact he didn't know a thing about riding,was far to near to the ground and had an absolutely shitty body position.. gotta give you all respect for being on the same level of stupid...
@@MSRooky350z OMG guys it's Valentino Rossi in the comments section of this video! Thank you so much for providing your expert opinion to help all riders improve
'Body position has nothing to do with it. He is just not smooth and used a bit much throttle.
His BP was terrible. He was totally crossed up. Look where his head was mid-corner.
That was a great shot! Props for not flinching haha. I am currently producing a motorcycle education course. Would it be alright to use this clip to show new riders what a low-side crash looks like?
YOU'RE BACK
When he saw you video taping him he became conscious that's why.
I feal bad for the poor buggers in these vids but i also find these vids interesting to watch and learn from the mistakes made. I think this demonstrates how important proper body position is. If it were correct then the bike wouldn't of been leaning as far as it was and there wouldn't of been anything touching down on the left hand side. It was that touching down that ultimately broke what little traction he had left in the rear.
Hello, is it okay if I use this clip? You will be accredited in the description. Thank you!
max lean on the street is such a gamble haha, watching that last slowmo makes me wish he picked it up as it was sliding, would have made an awesome clip
Aha, you're getting really close action shots now! Great "in frame" capture. Me....I need to find a new corner......we have a 25 mph traffic speed cam on the corner where I used to film....sigh
That is actually pretty clever of them. If they did that here it wouldn't work unless they lowered the 45mph speed limit.
RNickeyMouse Agreed. 45mph is decent 25mph is ridiculous. Never mind, "we'll" just move to the next decent corner! 😁😎😁
Spray paint the camera lens, problem solved!
Kostas Jezuz 😁😁😁
Kostas, no. Plenty of places to find other corners to have fun at without risking a felony. Think smart, ride safe, live free ;)
Next time, don't turn off the KTRC. (Kawasaki Traction Control)
Yes, it was switched off. And we have nice video!
Great camerawork !
we need more riders to sacrifice his / her bike for more Rnickey videos.
Really shows what a difference good gear makes. If he wasn’t wearing good stuff that would have been much worse. Thankfully he just wrecked his bike and not his body.
Jake Mathis True!
i was wearing the same stuff when a truck hit me... still cant walk...life forever changed
@@philtripe omg, so sorry to hear, stay strong man ..
stickloaf Best to you and your family.
A friend of mine was driving in a full surround steel cage and was killed when an oncoming van swerved in to her lane (driver of van was on drugs). Sometimes it don't matter what gear you have. C'est la vie.
After watching the video 5 times (I'm not a pro I only have my license and a ton of gp racing videos as experience) it looks like he tried to accelerate too early at too hard of an angle. The first 2-3 times he hit that corner, he did just that. Leaned, wobbled a little (a sign that he already didn't have complet control) then gassed it.
Just so happened he wasn't so lucky this last time.
It was brutal, the one guy taking the show get some kudos for taking the video without flinching
Camera man how long have you been doing this, you looking at that bike coming towards and you didn't stop filming or getting out the way it was like you knew where it was going to stop I can even see your knee on video
Kudos to you sir
2017 Kawasaki 636, adult driven, never raced, dropped once during stand still no major problems just cosmetic. Only 2k miles!! Asking $8k obo
The bike is fine, albeit for some war damage. That's gonna be a new tank
Same joke every video
Survival Reaction Number 1 - Chopping the Throttle
This. The rear simply unloaded and lost traction due to weight shift. At least it was a pretty gentle lowside and he was geared. Should be back on the road pretty easy.
@d0mm3y1 that's what I'm saying
He never chop throttle
He didn't chop the throttle, you can see the rear lost traction after a large amount of chatter.
looks to me like he chopped it after he lost it. Now if you're leaning and everything's cool but you think you're too fast and not going to make the turn, you don't want to chop it so what do you do, just lean harder?
Hopefully he is okay and keep riding safe. Always get back on.
Well, along with why was his body position incorrect, why was his visor open? Any ideas?
Why does everybody crash right there ? Bumps? Tires? Throttle control? Road surface? Temperature ? Body position ? Seems to me like this road is popular enough to intrigue someone to do a surface study....
It's a decreasing radius turn.
Road's in good shape. The problem is riders in over their head trying to be fast that underestimate a decreasing radius (and often know there's an audience) then take it wrong or panic like this guy did. It's actually one of the easier turns on the road.
radius and the road flattens out at this point. it's hard to tell but the rest of the corner is fairly banked.
It's a decreasing radius, also there's always a photographer and spectators there so people tend to push it for that sick tite photos.
Dust blown over the road, seen it there myself.
The decreasing radius strikes again! 🤕🐢☠️
No it doesn't - that's not a decreasing radius, it's opening up
Kryten L so if you steer left hold it an then have to steer more its not tightening but opening up ?
wat ?
You can clearly see the corner opening up as the camera pans back away from the bike crashing towards him - so the corner has ended and is opening up, not tightening\decreasing
Kryten L
You clearly have not watched the video properly or riden the Snake.
I think you'll find you haven't watched it properly - are you blind? At 22 sec you can clearly see the corner has ended just as he is exiting it and bins it.
Awesome footage/video. Obviously glad dude is ok, damn shame about that Ninja!!
Still don't understand how? Form was great, steady throttle, looks like it was a tire issue. Not enough contact patch. Wonder what the rear tire size is? Same just happened to me only the ground was newly paved.
Front row seats
He was ridiculously lucky that wasn't a highside. I'm glad he's ok.
This
Couldn't be a high side with the rear wheel slipping that fast. You'd get one if you tried to stabilize and it bucked you the opposite way when you overcorrect
@@hellario2 Sure it could. Highsides need not be from a slow slide. In fact, most are not. Tune into WSBK or MotoGP.
@@hellario2 the high side is not a result of you trying to stabilize or correct it. There is no time for that. The high side happens when the rear tire loses grip, the bike slides out, as we are seeing in this video, for example, and then the rear tire regains traction. That compresses the suspension, and the rebound of it, coupled with the angle of the bike, throws the rider airborne.
There was no chance for a highside here. The bike washed and the rider held onto it the whole time so the rear tire had no chance to hit the ground. He was still holding the clipons.
Can someone help me understand the significance of the report on the rider's back tire pressure?
Any tips? Why did he slide out like this? Too much throttle? He looked good on the bike?
Pilot road 3s and 4s worst tyres for that sort of riding.. once they get to hot they just slip without warning.
Rubbish - my PR4s are bubbled from heat and virtually on the edge....never slipped once. He was just a crap rider.
Super happy with the PR4, riding it in the South Indian Ocean.
(but we have one of the most abrasive road, due to the volcanic origin of the material used)
@@krytenLister ever ridden on them before?
The tyres on that bike are not PR4s, and yes I've gone through numerous sets of PR4s because they are excellent in all conditions across numerous different bikes.
@@krytenLister I didn't say they were pr4s they are obviously 3s
It’s pretty simple buy sport tires if your pushing your bike... not touring tires designed for 10,000 miles on riding...
Lean McQueen94 or just learn to ride
Good camera technique in the face of imminent danger! :)
Bruh his frame-slider was blessed by the great lord of sportbike-love
if he was hanged out further his lean angle wouldnt be so big
That's what she said
If he only knew how to control his bike at the edge of traction...
Needs to work on his BP, just cause you drag knee doesn’t mean it’s right
I was thinking the same thing. I would have been way further off the seat.
Glad he's okay. ATG, ATT.
He wasn’t hanging out the bike whatsoever
The title of the video should be like "Kawasaki rider almost crashes into me!" or something like that, might give you more views
Fuck off, that sounds rediculous. And who are you, The clickbate consultant?
What? The motorcyclist was literally really close to sliding right into the camera guy. Just saying, more people would maybe want to watch this video and see how the scenario looks like since it was a pretty cool camera angle to be so close and see the crash coming right towards you
Nice. What tires were those looks like a touring tire
Man that guy that helped him up was so nice “man I’m sorry, I feel for ya”
agreed good guy
Wrong tires for sportbike i think :/
LeChriis675R true. those tyres I would use for a table or something still
Michelin Pilot Road 4- 100% turing tires
mikkei
They are PR3. Definitely not a hot weather sport tyre. Amazing he didn't crash sooner. Good on him for having the gear though.
Listen and look at this throttle hand in slowmo, he chops the throttle when he saw Rnickeymouse
Varden looks like he let off throttle after breaking traction with the back tire.
my two cents.... Carrying to much lean angle. get your but off the seat more
I think it was a combination of incorrect body position for the speed (resulting in too much lean) combined with chopping the throttle in panic. You are correct, when he first felt the peg scrape he could have leaned in more and avoided the low side.
What's with the body position everyone is on about?
Petar Boshnakov he was hanging his knee out, but his butt wasn't shifted to the inside of the curve nor was his upper body. The upper body is even more important as it is higher up and has a greater impact on the lean angle of the bike vs the center of gravity. His head and shoulders need to be centered over his inside wrist to move the CoG inside and thus reduce the lean angle of the bike.
Keith Curtis that would probably keep the bike 2 degrees higher but won’t stop him lift the rear with his foot later on. Kenny Roberts won titles crossed up like ...
Firstly, this guy is no Kenny Roberts! There are many other factors in this wreck, but body position and chopping the throttle are two. As others have mentioned his choice of tires it not a great one either. Sport Touring tires, with wet performance and longevity taking precedence in the design vs pure traction / grip was also causal. The biggest favor he could have done himself was to set a proper entry speed and trail brake to the apex vs trying to throttle through the entire turn and giving up in the middle by chopping the throttle.
Glad you're ok bud!
Is that an aftermarket rear sprocket?
Dress for where you want to go. He was dressed to go down.
Dress for the crash, not the ride.
Dress for the slide, not the ride* eh?
dress for who you want to go down on.
Not what those Michelin Pilot Road 4's are made for buddy. Need some stickier tires for those corners.
Cold as ice, he didn't even flinch.
whats the problem with that corner exit?
Too much bike, not enough rider!
This has to be the most expensive hobby around.
Not at all, think about people trying to make it in the car racing world and start out as privateers. Not only do they pay for their own carts/cars
, they also need to buy expensive parts, an RV etc.That’s the first example I can think of. I’m sure there are sports that get even more expensive... Some people pay hundreds of thousands of dollars for a good competition horse or even pigeons.
What about boats and airplanes?
Could be worse, at least he didn't flip a Ferrari down the hillside, but ~$2k ain't too cheap for a little mistake either.
Not even close. Equestrian, boating, shooting, etc.
Marriage.
Holding on for as long as he could 😂 "i Can Save Thissss!!!"
Hi please upload more videos ive been subsribed for 2 years and barley see any new videos ik ur good because i love the vids
He slid right into you, eh? Possibly target fixation.
Pilot Road 3 in a new zx10r???? Keep the original or change it for super corsa, rosso 3 or k2..k3. Never, NEVER use a road tire in a superbike!!
Eng Cuco are you sure that's not the 636
Read the description
Looks like a winter neomatic..
Pilot Road = crash
Noah Body Pirelli supercorsa SP the Best!!
You weren't kidding when you said up close.
That tire looks brand new...not scrubbed in?
Too much Gas, too early..it's clear, prob nothing wrong with the tires
BeaglePower G so those tyres are ok to drag knee? I managed to slide 2-3 times (not crash) with better tyres dunlop gp racer d212 and michelin powercup evo.
You see how slow the back end comes around. Defintley tyres.
Really poor body position had more to do with it. He was scraping due to not actually leaning off.
Them tyres aren't for such an aggressive type of riding, they look basic sports tyres, need hypersport or better to ride like that
Look at his throttle hand in slow mo, he chops it when he saw Rnickeymouse. Its not the bike, its the rider.
100% aweful tire! The rear let go with hardly any lean angle and throttle at all.
And the bike has traction control
RNickeyMouse wow are you sure TC was enabled? What setting was it on?
He thought it was but maybe not
Yeah you can see it chattering really soon on as it just had no grip exiting the corner! Some supercorsas or some equivalent sports tire would see him good! How old was the tire he had btw?
Also traction control can only do so much if the grip the tire has is non existent to begin with.
@RNickeyMouse, another awsome video! :)
Could I use the sequenze of the guy low siding at 0:19 in a future explanation video on my channel?
I'd be happy to hear from you, keep up the good work!
Does a motorcycle with IMU avoid a crash in a similar situation?
That venom helmet tho 🤙🏻👌🏻
what rear tire is that?
Great cameraman lol, bike coming at him and doesn't even flinch and keeps it in frame
Is he using Michelin Pilot Road 3 or 4?
Anyone know what frame sliders he used
did he put too much pressure on the rear brake or what?
*DADS BACK*
M4 full exhaust?
Are you jokking? Is it rain tyres ??
Shot like a BOSS. Never flinched!
just a good thing he low sided smooth and didn't have enough behind him to chop the throttle and high side it .. glad he was ok
shocks too hard? tire? what is the problem
Love his helmet!
Happened to me. Lost traction as there was some gasoline on that curve. Ever since have had trust issues with my back tire. I never lean as much as before and always go slower in turns.
Save what? The quarter he was diving for?
how often do people crash there?
Yeah 😁
I like how you didnt even flinch
Tyres ?
looks like he had too much lean angle then rode off the edge of the rear tyre. he only had Michelin pilot road 3's as well so not the grippiest tyre to be dragging knee with at the twisties. Nice framing though did you get hit at all?
