Looks to me like he was Crashing.

weird....very weird.
maybe he thought he could squeeze through

Looks like he was trying to do a power slide around that corner and forgot to break traction with the rear wheel?

Who knows.

I was thinking the same thing. Either that or he was attempting a stoppie and forgot he was supposed to use the front brake instead of the rear.

It definitely looks like he was just trying to practice his "stunting".

If you see how quick he accellerates going the opp direction combined w/ his rather non looking stunter gear\bike my guess is that he tried the same thing going the other direction and didnt judge the amount of space it would take to stop. You can tell he is moving quick and locks up the rear wheel in an attempt to stop.. I bet that leg is a bit sore.

professional gate tester.

the gate in question appears to have failed the always challenging squid test.

even idiots can ride bikes! just not judge distance, stop or even turn

Gate wins. The gate always wins.

What's he doing? Hurting himself!!!! His bike too!

What ever he was doing, I am sure his plans did not involve the gate. LOL!!!

Klark Kent · « **Reply #10 on:** June 02, 2008, 12:00:45 PM »

On second thought, this is clearly a magnetic gate demonstration- the first pass is with the magnetic gate set to no magnetism, the second pass is with the gate set at maximum magnetism. very impressive display.

Perhaps it was Sunday and the factory was closed down....but he was determined to get some overtime in

Epic.

Fail.

With those riding skills he should be riding a trike...with no motor.

Looks like he was applying for the crash test dummy job. Damn that had to hurt!!

troppo · « **Reply #16 on:** June 03, 2008, 02:36:50 AM »

maybe he thought he could fit under it if he layed the bike down, a bit late though i think

tramp · « **Reply #17 on:** June 03, 2008, 03:38:47 AM »

i'm going to go with the obvious
he thought he could crash through the gate
in the first part of the video' he was checking out the gate
too much hollywood

cbass*gxc · « **Reply #18 on:** June 03, 2008, 06:32:43 AM »

^^ Thats what I thought Tramp. Looks like he was trying to slide the bike in to the gate and bust through it.

DammitDan · « **Reply #19 on:** June 03, 2008, 03:13:40 PM »

I could understand him trying to crash the gate if it had 2 doors that opened on hinges, but THAT gate slides open to one side...
