  • wnowak1, on 05/17/2008, -9/+274But at least his bike has a crash cage. Thats more important than a helmet //
    • Ladymongoose, on 05/17/2008, -3/+66I'm sure the paramedics will be impressed with how well that bandanna holds his brain in.
      • commenter01, on 05/17/2008, -22/+8he's got a defective skull if at that speed his brain spills out...
        • ttfadia, on 05/17/2008, -4/+19How can you tell the speed from a photograph?
        • thesparrowband, on 05/17/2008, -2/+13at what speed? how do you know how fast he's going?
        • wordsofwisedumb, on 05/17/2008, -2/+36You can see the amount of fluid coming out of the bike. If he were going very fast it would not be as vertical of a stream, but would be spread out over a longer distance.
        • tavisjohn, on 05/17/2008, -0/+9Are you a CSI agent? :p
        • rrbest, on 05/17/2008, -0/+7it might be okay to assume he started accelerating where the other two bikers are.
        • linagee, on 05/18/2008, -0/+4"You can see the amount of fluid"

          Unless of course the fluid were squirting out with a large force. Then any forward velocity would have a minimal impact.
        • commenter01, on 05/20/2008, -0/+1"Then any forward velocity would have a minimal impact."
          Still, the fluid splashing up looks like a circular pattern, which means he must have been going pretty slow. I take it this guy was just coming down from a nose wheelie, which is why his arms are extended and the back of his bike is in the air. You cannot be going too fast for that.
    • culbeda, on 05/17/2008, -2/+65Still... dibs on his kidneys!
      • TitanX13, on 05/18/2008, -0/+7you can have the kidneys, but i want the liver
    • GorfTron, on 05/17/2008, -0/+26He's forked!
    • chakan2, on 05/18/2008, -1/+30At least the bike has a total douchebag on it to protect it from the pavement.
    • groberts1980, on 05/19/2008, -0/+2Okay what's a crash cage? I see it around the engine, but what's its purpose, and what makes it more important than a helmet?
  • gotspeed1212, on 05/17/2008, -13/+90umm bad

    where can i get the video of this lol
  • djixl, on 05/17/2008, -2/+352that look on his face is the transition of thought from "im dope!" to "im *****!"

  • socivitus, on 05/17/2008, -3/+20I can only imagine what was going through his mind. From the expression on his face, it's pretty clear
    • wontstoptalking, on 05/17/2008, -10/+57He probably doesn't even know what's happening, he's worrying about MrBabyMan.

      • Tyr7BE, on 05/18/2008, -0/+5Right. He coined that term, you know. Little known fact. Kevin was the first one to say "ohhhh ***** me". That's why it's his quote, you see.
    • matschig, on 05/18/2008, -0/+1You posed a question for the Digg community to anwser, and then, answered that question in the same post. Sweet!
    • diggingaround, on 05/18/2008, -0/+14 letter word?
  • dougvfr750, on 05/17/2008, -1/+23I predict road rash in his future
  • FameMoney, on 05/17/2008, -3/+245At least the photographer got a one in a lifetime picture.
    • CelebVoy, on 05/17/2008, -11/+6I assume that this was being taken on film and that was just a capture of a movie. No way this camera man ended up taking this photo at just the right time.
      • fuze44, on 05/17/2008, -4/+10No way? Check out this pic:

        • samgab, on 05/18/2008, -1/+3I don't get it. What is that, a guy with a gun slipping on a hill?
        • fuze44, on 05/31/2008, -0/+0That's a bullet going through his head.
      • DefaultGen, on 05/17/2008, -8/+3I just kind of assumed they staged the picture on a broken bike...
        • InferiorWang, on 05/18/2008, -1/+1photoshop!

          someone had to say it, especially when the pic is real.
      • DeskFlyer, on 05/17/2008, -0/+17Why do people have such a hard time comprehending that it is possible to take a perfectly timed photograph? It is likely that the photographer was planning on simply taking a normal shot hoping to get a biker speeding toward him and ended up getting something 1,000 times better when the rider decided to wipe out as he was pressing the shutter button. This is how many amazing shots are captured, especially in a fast-paced setting; sometimes you just get lucky by having something instantaneous occur while the curtains are open, even if you weren't banking on it. For Pete's sake people, not everything extraordinary is a staged photograph.
        • bitterbug, on 05/18/2008, -0/+6I don't think a lot of people understand how fast a good high-end SLR camera operates, nor the number of shots a photographer can take in burst/drive mode. Even the old film cameras with motor drives took beautiful crystal-clear shots of F1 cars driving past at 200 mph. If a photog is out there snapping pics of riders at an event, chances are they'll get something good in the hundreds or even couple of thousand pics they could shoot in a day.
      • DubiousDrewski, on 05/17/2008, -0/+15"No way" it could happen? If you photographed you'd know it's possible.

        Especially if you burst fire your shots like nearly all digital-only sports photographers do these days.
      • spudnic, on 05/17/2008, -0/+11Was probably taking a photo of him doing a stoppie, at which point the suspension ***** up, might also have been using burst mode on the camera.

        You would not get an image that clear taking a frame out of a video.
        • bitterbug, on 05/18/2008, -1/+2At least not out of anything running at 30fps.
    • cjflashman, on 05/18/2008, -0/+6I know- You can even see the oil [?] gushing out of the shocks
    • AeonTorpor, on 05/18/2008, -3/+1A once in _his_ lifetime picture. You know that guy won't be doing that dumb ***** anymore.
  • burchie2, on 05/17/2008, -0/+188and of course he's the only one not wearing a helmet.
  • Angelix, on 05/17/2008, -8/+7"Oh Cra.." BOOM!
    • zephyr42, on 05/17/2008, -3/+6nothing is gonna esplode....

      the fluid in front of the bike is brake fluid from one of the front brake lines that just got ripped out.
      • dougmc, on 05/17/2008, -1/+3You can have a `boom' noise without an explosion. When the bike and your body hit the pavement, it will make noise. May be a `boom', may be a `boom' and a long scrape followed by lots of `owowowowow!' ...
        • staffell, on 05/17/2008, -0/+4I'd like to hear a hearty CRUNCH
        • lintmonkey, on 05/18/2008, -1/+2I believe it'd be more of a SPLAT

          Or perhaps a high-pitched scream.
      • DubiousDrewski, on 05/17/2008, -1/+8That's not brake fluid. How much brake fluid do you think there is in a bike??

        That's the hydraulic suspension failing. Do you notice that his handlebars are straight and his wheel is turned? Does it make more sense now?
        • zephyr42, on 05/17/2008, -5/+4He's doing a nose wheelie or "stoppie", meaning he's using the front brakes a lot and there's a lot of pressure built up in the lines, and if torn will gush out all at once. Sport bikes use hydraulic disc brakes(this model uses 4 piston and 4 pads) and it needs a lot of fluid to drive 4 large pistons, you would be surprised how much fluid they use.

          Also they don't use a hydraulic suspension either as far as I can remember, it's far too heavy and frankly impractical if they did. Most companies use a standard inverted cartrage fork either air/spring or just spring with adjustable rebounds of course.
        • honesttussey, on 05/17/2008, -0/+6I think you are making up stuff to sound like you know what you're taking about.

          1) Bikes use very little brake fluid. The front reservoir probably only hold about 2 or 3 cups. When I flush out my brake fluid I barely use 1/4 of a bottle and the bottle are like 12oz

          2) The amount of force he's using on the brakes isn't what caused the liquid you see. Sit on a bike and squeeze the front brake lever as hard as you can with both hands. You won't cause a line to burst. The fact that he's doing a stoppie doesn't mean his brakes should fail. They are engineered to withstand that amount of pressure easily. You could grab a handful of brake and stop the front wheel in it's track and flip the bike over pretty easily but that won't break the line.

          3) They don't use hydraulic suspension. They use springs, but the forks are loaded with fork oil. A good amount. See that silver tube extending out of the gold section of the bike? That tube goes all they way up to nearly the handle bars and it's filled with fork oil. And There are two forks, one on each side. that it mostly what is gushing out.

          My guess is the axle on the wheel snapped and somehow punctured or ripped open the forks causing the fork oil to spew out.
        • d3matt, on 05/18/2008, -1/+1I can barely imagine an axle breaking unless it was machined incorrectly. I can image some idiot not putting the cotter pin in the axle and it coming apart though I'm not sure it would result in such a catastrophic failure of the forks.

          But yeah, it's almost definitely not brake fluid... there's nowhere near enough fluid in the entire reservoir/lines to spray that much. If you don't believe us and have access to a bike, bleed the line. That will give you an idea of how much brake fluid actually would come out if it were to fail under pressure.

          On a side note, I had something similar happen on a BMX bike. I had my handle bars come off into my hands while doing a bunny hop on pavement!

  • TheNeptune, on 05/17/2008, -8/+22He should be alright --- he doesn't seem to be going too fast..
    • localzuk, on 05/17/2008, -9/+57It's a photograph... They are stationary snapshots of time.
      • TheNeptune, on 05/17/2008, -1/+19... ooooooooohhhhhhhh, well damn. My apologies for the confusion.
      • lolwtfhaha, on 05/17/2008, -1/+24Smartass. He doesn't seem to be moving fast despite it being a "photograph". He's got his hand on the front brake and there are no skid marks. There is a copious amount of fluid pouring straight down from the broken shock. He's basically not moving at all, after attempting a near-stationary trick. He'll still probably bust his ass, but I doubt he is moving more than 5MPH.
    • centran, on 05/17/2008, -0/+4He was probably doing a stoppie.. so yes he is not going too fast.
      For all of those that don't know what a stoppie is; think of a wheelie but with the front tire. However, instead of accelerating you are decelerating.

  • dimanorcal, on 05/17/2008, -2/+18This is what you get for squidding it up like that - even at low speed there's going to be some serious scraping, or if the bike falls on him - a lot worse - 400lbs or so crushing your leg, for instance, is no fun. This isn't like falling of a bicycle guys...
    • KaJuN4, on 05/17/2008, -0/+6I'd feel sorry for him but since he isn't wearing ANY gear he gets no sympathy from me. But they all get bonus points for having the decency to do this in a parking lot.
    • BOFH2, on 05/17/2008, -1/+1Sorry I would not feel sorry for him even if he did. Do stupid things and get hurt no sympathy.
      • KaJuN4, on 05/19/2008, -0/+1As a motorcyclist I have nothing against people doing these tricks in controlled environments and with the proper protective equipment. I just have no desire to try it myself.
    • ExRe, on 05/18/2008, -0/+4Actually, it is like falling off a bicycle...just one that weighs 400 pounds.
      • SatansSpatula, on 05/18/2008, -0/+2...and has several toasty parts ranging in temperatures from 190F (cylinder head) to 500F (exhaust header).

    • dlite922, on 05/18/2008, -0/+1actually look at the bike again it has crash guard/rails on the side that prevents the bike from crushing your legs IF your legs are in the same riding position obviously.

  • psrobert, on 05/17/2008, -12/+1I'm with Densonlad on this. Total PhotoShop. Not only from the shadow, but from the way that the metal is disintegrating. I've seen mechanical parts fail under high stress, and they don't look like that.
    The final kicker... where are the next photo's in the series? The broken bike? The injured rider? The ambulance?
    I don't buy it!
    • zoweee, on 05/17/2008, -0/+13the metal isn't disintegrating, that's the fork oil pouring out the bottom of the left fork.

      My guess is he just finished doing some maintenance on that wheel and, while testing it, got the bright idea to do a stoppie. It then turned out that he hadn't put things back together quite right and so he got a face full of tarmac.
      • falstaff, on 05/17/2008, -2/+1And based on how much oil has already come out, the whole wreck isn't happening very quickly.
        • Harbinger67, on 05/17/2008, -0/+4The front forks on a motorcycle are under a tremendous amount of pressure during a stoppie. It's no surprise that the fluid came gushing out when the tube broke.
    • palmer, on 05/17/2008, -0/+6"where are the next photo's in the series"

      The next photo's what?
    • dougmc, on 05/17/2008, -0/+4`I can tell this is a 'shop from some of the pixels and from having seen quite a few photoshops in my time'

      As for the next picture in the series, moment19.jpg is a guy being chased by a cow in water. More pictures were probably taken of the crashing bike, but they weren't saved on this guy's site, probably because they lack the `oh *****!' factor that this picture has. And besides, it's probably better to let you guess at what the aftermath was than to actually tell you. Our guesses are probably worse than the reality anyways :)

    • SatansSpatula, on 05/18/2008, -1/+2just no gas tanks, fairings, frames, er... Actually, they don't provide much of anything except for engines, and even those have probably been thrashed (how many wheelies can a clutch basket take before slagging off chunks of aluminum into the oil flow?).

      In terms of personal benefit, I'd much rather see a picture of the poseur on the shiny Duc 1098 who lowsides it coming out of the Google parking lot and has to write it off due to fairing damage.
  • billbugger, on 05/17/2008, -14/+9It's not IF you'll wreak on a bike, it's WHEN you'll wreak on a bike. Sad truth about steet bikes.
    • Silenthunter747, on 05/17/2008, -1/+20wreak
      –verb (used with object)
      1. to inflict or execute (punishment, vengeance, etc.)

      I had no idea bikes filled people with such blood lust.
    • devonkeale, on 05/17/2008, -0/+9Yes, 'steet' bikes are quite impossible to drive without wreaking.

      It's also quite impossible to write a sentence without spelling incorrectly, for some people.

      /haven't wrecked my sportbike yet.
    • KaJuN4, on 05/17/2008, -0/+5There are three kinds of motorcyclists: those who have gone down, those who will go down, and those who are lying about it. I'm in the first group but I still love to ride.
    • zephyr42, on 05/17/2008, -0/+4Harley's are responsible for more motorcycle deaths per year than "street" bikes as you say...
      • KaJuN4, on 05/19/2008, -0/+1That number would go down considerably if most Harley owner's would spend even half as much time learning to ride properly as they do polishing their chrome. I've also noticed that helmet-wearing is not as common with Harley riders compared to other motorcyclists.
    • mllawso, on 05/18/2008, -0/+1Yeah, but you can increase the interval between wrecks by not being a douchebag and/or idiot.
  • pstroll, on 05/17/2008, -2/+108He'll be alright ... he's wearing a do-rag
    • SatansSpatula, on 05/18/2008, -0/+2No *****. My buddy got pissed off ol' E and shoved me out of a third story window down in Hayes Valley. I landed on my ***** head, but holy *****, my do-rag saved my ass. Walked away with a headache.
  • paulmer2003, on 05/17/2008, -1/+3I wonder how that happened, heh.
    • NeoCortex, on 05/17/2008, -0/+4Yeah, but he's missing his protective popped-collar to absorb the impact.
      • lintmonkey, on 05/18/2008, -0/+3I think when you're doing something like this, you're supposed to wear like four for more protection.
  • dakine42, on 05/17/2008, -12/+4This just in! Germany invades France.
  • keithjinternet, on 05/17/2008, -17/+5Can I hear a photoshopped?
    • dlite922, on 05/18/2008, -2/+1Actually looking at the pic again...well...i don't know.

      What's that oil like liquid where the tire is suppose to be? Hydraulics fluid?

      Why does the ground have some blemishes in the shadow. The lighting on the front wheel fender doesn't look like.

      I might be just stretching your opinion but I can't make up my mind.
  • cabdirazzaq, on 05/17/2008, -8/+1Interesting BUT if you look carefully behind him, you'll notice his friend is just about to start his engine which means he himself had just started. I'd guess he was probably driving around 10-15km/h. It will defiantly hurt, but not much.
    • gekkoeye, on 05/17/2008, -0/+22http://www.d-e-f-i-n-i-t-e-l-y.com/
      • cabdirazzaq, on 05/17/2008, -0/+4Dugg. I definitely deserved that, can I at least defend myself with reminding everyone I'm from Sweden and the very notion that I'm able to put some English words (every now and then) in some sort of meaningful order should compensate for a few stupid mistakes?
    • Thefascist, on 05/17/2008, -0/+5Interesting how you're able to tell so much about his friend's intentions from the photo, I say it was the butler ... in the attic ... with a candle stick.
    • snafflepaffle, on 05/18/2008, -0/+0What's going to really hurt is the faceplant he's going to do. Even at 3-5 MPH falling directly on your face from 4-5 feet up can be enough to kill you. And then the bike is going to fall on top of him. Ouch! Without a helmet it could be his final *****.
  • fr0ng, on 05/17/2008, -3/+4no ohlins no care
  • MicahC, on 05/17/2008, -2/+4Oh snap!
  • TheMikeStone420, on 05/17/2008, -9/+3does anybody know this guys name?
  • Meekus, on 05/17/2008, -7/+5THIS is an awesome pic! Talk about taking it at the exact right moment. Kudos to the photographer
  • yohan, on 05/17/2008, -5/+2Is that Jeremy from Pure Pwnage?
  • mzkply, on 05/17/2008, -0/+11Nice, you can see the hydraulic fluid spilling out of the shocks!
    • fafaforza, on 05/18/2008, -1/+3It's actually fork oil, which, because of its viscosity, is used for dampening effect in suspension. Brake fluid would be considered a hydraulic fluid on a motorcycle. It is part of a fluid system which causes motion or action -- the closing of brake calipers. Don't mean to sound like a know-it-all tool, though :P
      • SatansSpatula, on 05/18/2008, -1/+11) It's damping, not dampening. Dampening means wetting.
        2) Viscosity and incompressibility are both aspects of fluids. It's not really wrong to refer to fork oil as hydraulic fluid, since hydraulic merely means pertaining to fluids.
  • goldendome92, on 05/17/2008, -1/+45I want to see the aftermath photo.
  • long10horns, on 05/17/2008, -26/+4bury me
  • masfenix, on 05/17/2008, -5/+2EPIC FAIL In T minus 5.
  • h37s3m, on 05/17/2008, -1/+1luckily for him is that he's not moving, so just the weight of the bike... will... break... him.....hmmm
  • carl25, on 05/17/2008, -0/+9he divided by zero, didn't he ?
  • thespi007, on 05/17/2008, -1/+3I haz inshuranz
