- mustang460, on 12/01/2008, -2/+85I like this one more.
http://www.metacafe.com/watch/33298/amazing_save/ - inactive, on 12/01/2008, -0/+44This video reminds me of Road Rash. (video game) When you crash you gotta run back to your bike.
- tuanjello, on 12/01/2008, -1/+42Come back Mr. Bike! Come back!
- nerdherder, on 12/01/2008, -1/+37I hate that song more than Wilford Brimley hates diabeetus.
- nextag82, on 12/01/2008, -1/+24photoshopped
- kungfool101, on 12/01/2008, -0/+23Look, no hands!
Oh no. - iamstudip, on 12/01/2008, -0/+22They teach you this in the MSF course. Slow. Look. Press. Roll off the bike.
- LorenG123, on 12/01/2008, -0/+18Buried. You are stupid.
- seanc6610, on 12/01/2008, -5/+22there's no such thing as centrifugal force.
- krekc, on 12/01/2008, -1/+18You mean centripetal force?

Apparently its now abandonware - inactive, on 12/01/2008, -0/+16He has training wheels on the bike.
- yomamaisfat, on 12/01/2008, -1/+16Ghost ride.
- DRT23, on 12/01/2008, -13/+27I can ride with no handlebars...no handlebars
- gorospe, on 12/01/2008, -17/+30Fake. The cinematic weaving by the other riders is a dead giveaway.
- jmcneilly, on 12/01/2008, -0/+12Make sure you have a camera on you when you do that, so we can all have a good laugh at the results.
- DjArcadian, on 12/01/2008, -0/+11It's almost like the bike was attached to a car and some clever viral advertising company released this on the internet... almost.
- Hnnnnnghhh, on 12/01/2008, -0/+11http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrifugal_force -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fictitious_force
not a real force, made up so kids don't have to take frame of reference into account. - RC212V, on 12/01/2008, -0/+10Ah yes, the number 1 cause of motorcycle crashes is handlebar actuator malfunction.
- TugOSpiegel, on 12/01/2008, -0/+10nothing like a 30 second advertisement for a 16 second clip
- RadiatedAnt, on 12/01/2008, -0/+9***** metacafe!
- nerdherder, on 12/01/2008, -0/+9It says upright the same way it does while he is on it. It's still moving.
- Stuffburger, on 12/01/2008, -1/+9Coming from a biker, this may staged- but all real. A bike will keep on going on it's own until it drops down to about 15mph or so (even pulling out of a bank), and you have to slow down substantially on the corners like he did- notice the bike is angled at something like 60 degrees from vertical.
And he might not have done it on purpose- when you're losing control of the bike you want to let go so you don't get stuck under it and ground into the pavement by your own bike. - palewhitemale, on 12/01/2008, -0/+7LOL
I laughed so hard my diabeeetes flared up. - Spiffness, on 12/01/2008, -1/+8You are completely wrong. Bikes when moving LOVE to be up straight. As a motorcyclist I can assure you that what you see is completely possible. He's lucky to have hit the ground and been able to get back on his feet fast enough to catch back up with it, but this isn't the only video of it's kind. I've seen 3 or 4 where the guy falls off and someone (the rider or someone nearby) catches it and saves it.
- sinkinglife, on 12/01/2008, -0/+7You read bruce-lee ping pong video comments for days? Your story sounds FAKE!
- MothBoy, on 12/01/2008, -4/+11Totally fake.
Bikes don't have autopilots to continue the curve and then go straight, and there is no way he could run and catch up to the bike before it fell over. Also, he didn't cover any distance at all when he fell off, indicating he was barely moving when he ejected. He couldn't have been going more than 10 MPH, probably much less.
His bike was probably mounted in the front to a truck and the whole thing was staged. - cl2yp71c, on 12/01/2008, -2/+9You guys might want to look up gullible in the dictionary.
Because this video is fake. - Spiffness, on 12/01/2008, -1/+7One thing you'll notice on a good amount of youtube videos with people crashing bikes by doing stupid things is as soon as the rider falls off, the bike gets stable and continues on a straight steady path into whatever lays directly ahead.
The weakpoint of any motorcycle is the rider. - inactive, on 12/01/2008, -1/+7There are few things I find more annoying than people who call "FAKE!" at every ***** internet video, regardless of how stupid the accusation is. WHY would someone fake this? This video isn't even that amazing or spectacular. Besides, race bikes have very low centers of gravity which results in the oscillatory motion of the bike.
- Notluf, on 12/02/2008, -0/+6Just hit the stop button then hit Replay and it will start without the commercial.
- sab0tage, on 12/01/2008, -0/+6Staged, maybe... However motorbikes will stablise themselves, straightening up out of corners; it's due to the gyroscopic effect of the wheels spinning and the weight of them, the same reason we have to countersteer (steer the opposite way) into a corner. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Countersteering
- Paradiddler45, on 12/01/2008, -0/+6Bah you beat me to it.

- thedivinelyevil, on 12/01/2008, -1/+7he just seemed to let go of the bike!! but he was lucky with the biker maneuvering so coolly around him and his bike!
- maximilen, on 12/01/2008, -0/+5^ Agreed.
- cl2yp71c, on 12/01/2008, -1/+6The bike slows down when you let off the throttle....
- DeFex, on 12/01/2008, -0/+5the wheels and moving parts in the engine act as gyroscopes.
- crushfan, on 12/01/2008, -0/+5Post videos, plox. I want to watch your failure.
- FTWmovin2canada, on 12/01/2008, -2/+7Motorcycles have a large amount of momentum in the wheels that will keep them upright. I read this one story about a guy who fell off his bike at 60+ and they found the bike miles down the road.
- intuin, on 12/01/2008, -0/+515S9-PU03
- inactive, on 12/01/2008, -0/+4GameStop? Your local pawn shop? eBay? craigslist? :D
or...you could download it as a ROM type game. - ziyue, on 12/01/2008, -1/+5From another biker, yes, I don't think this is fake. It could be staged like showing off a skill, but the fall, etc are real. Looks like he fell off right by the exit of the corner AND he was accelerating, listen to the sound, which explains why the bike stood up. As far as the bike weaving by itself, look up motorcycle crash videos on youtube, very often you see somebody coming down from a wheelie and the bike goes into this very fast left-right weave by itself.

- darkhorse85, on 12/01/2008, -0/+4This is old...and fake.
It's possible, but still fake. - DurtyJ, on 12/01/2008, -1/+5The pixels were a dead giveaway.
- d1ckinabox, on 12/01/2008, -0/+4That brings back fond memories of my childhood...
Anyone still know where to acquire that game? - skyshock1, on 12/01/2008, -0/+3How is that even possible?
- skyshock1, on 12/02/2008, -0/+3Well, for one, wouldn't the motorcycle tip over? It's shaking pretty bad as it rolls off idly. And for two, how fast is it going that the guy can catch it?
/no experience on motorcycles - RSS14, on 12/01/2008, -0/+3Road Rash was the *****! Good old times.
