We all learn. We've all crashed. Hopefully he gets back on and learns something from it

Poor guy. Looked like he was tryin to me. IMO its harder to shift weight to the left cuz your throttle is on the right and you have to stretch, especially when turning.

Not a big deal. I have done that before. I like to doughnuts to the left too.

Yeah, that was very mild... I did see a good friend do the same thing a while back on his 225, just enough to put a smile on his face when he got up! haha

I agree, left is harder than right. He was leaning, but not far enough. Its happend to all of us.

Heres what happens when you give your camera to your girlfriend and try to show off.... (at least snow is soft)

He had his weight right just looked like he was in too high of gear or not enough RPMs. And right hand doughnuts are far easier :lol:

I prefer to donut counter clockwise. But it's because i'm very tall on my ytm-200. When I turn right the thumb throttle hit my leg and it go WOT.

haha.. thats happened to all of us... few days ago i had a path made in the snow, but it melted a little more each day... well i came through the turn but turned too sooo, and bounced across my paths, front tire caught, and i rolled it over real quick! but i hopped back on and went again..

The part that bothers me is that he puts his foot down as it is tipping (in an effort to save it I'm sure). I never take my feet off the pegs. And yeah, I've crashed just like he did, quite a few times. :lol:

i think i read in anotther thread that that was just an example of what bad body english is, and it was totaly on purpose.

Hmm, my preference is to go doughnuts the direction hes doing them!. Find it easier to hang off that side.

I've seen that before. Weight placement is one thing but it looks like he just lost momentum and she hooked. I would say a better tire choice is needed, if he's gona be doing that type of stuff with it.

not a wreck in my book. He was a doomass for taking his feet off the pegs. Just my .02 cents

Woohoo!

Now that I think about it, I think its easier to do donuts to the left like that guy was doing, its when I'm sidehilling I think its harder to sit on the left and reach the throttle. I preffer to sidehill with down being on my left, so I hang off the right side of my bike and I can still hold the throttle.

Looks like he was leanin too far back, and could get over far enough...but the thing that bothers me about the clip is the title. Way to take something out of context.

I've flipped quads 4 times now.

Today I just flipped my 200x for the first time ever. My bad, threw my weight wrong. Important thing is I only bent the bars a little, cracked rear fender, and bent the light guard. But, it was fun.

I think it's time I sued god for making rocks and snow. :lol: Honda was innocent.
