Title: Backing it in Post by: tommys67 on July 07, 2008, 04:59:59 AM I can't describe this any better than the description on You Tube!
"(Less info) Mitchell Pierce having some sidewayz fun at Pacific Raceways. Remember, he is just playing around for the camera. Mitchell is a dirt tracker at heart, which is where he gets his riding style " http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=PiLQ7Vf1t5k Title: Re: Backing it in Post by: CDawg on July 07, 2008, 05:13:51 AM Wow! Was he just slipping the rear or what's going on?
Title: Re: Backing it in Post by: univox on July 07, 2008, 05:43:18 AM I think in most cases riders break traction with the rear brake first then use the throttle to keep it loose but he seems to rely on throttle more than any other example I've seen.
Title: Re: Backing it in Post by: Cru Jones on July 07, 2008, 06:26:33 AM That looks like fun. [evil] I wonder how often he goes through rear tires?
Title: Re: Backing it in Post by: Pakhan on July 07, 2008, 06:32:28 AM nice, that track has some close obstacles in the runoff.
Title: Re: Backing it in Post by: Beattie_Yoo on July 07, 2008, 07:15:05 AM saw that video on a different forum... so envious of his riding steez [bacon]
BTW: prime example of good video quality/sound..... seems to me that that the helmet cam captures the best images as the riders head points in the direction of the turn, thus staying focused on the subject ahead Title: Re: Backing it in Post by: Grrrly on July 07, 2008, 07:56:47 AM need to pay respects to McCoy
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UzyMhEgKXyM (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UzyMhEgKXyM) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gELHaZIDJqM&NR=1 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gELHaZIDJqM&NR=1) I think in Faster they say that he actually saved rear tires by sliding them, I think because as the tire is sliding its cooler than under braking conditions and/or less heat cycles.. I could be wrong. I'm sure someone will correct me. :P Title: Re: Backing it in Post by: GLantern on July 07, 2008, 08:26:55 AM WOW :o I wish i could ride like that!! That is some awesome stuff!
Title: Re: Backing it in Post by: Pakhan on July 07, 2008, 08:47:55 AM I love McCoy, he's the shit. Wish things were different and he was in GP showing the youngins how it's done.
Title: Re: Backing it in Post by: 2001cromo on July 07, 2008, 10:00:39 AM In the top one, McCoy is on a 2 stroke fire breathing 500!
That's some serious skill/control any way you look at it. Nice find Tommy! Title: Re: Backing it in Post by: FLSTFI_E46 on July 07, 2008, 10:25:16 AM Some would call it motorcycle drifting [thumbsup]
Title: Re: Backing it in Post by: GLantern on July 07, 2008, 11:52:05 AM Some would call it motorcycle drifting [thumbsup] New sport potential? Title: Re: Backing it in Post by: Pakhan on July 07, 2008, 12:02:45 PM New sport potential? Already exists, it's flat track http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IOV5wtTgFB0&feature=related Title: Re: Backing it in Post by: GLantern on July 07, 2008, 12:06:02 PM Already exists, it's flat track http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IOV5wtTgFB0&feature=related I have seen that before but i think on pavement more in the lines of drifter car racing would be soooo sick. And isnt that in a nascar type oval track? I want TWISTIES!!! Title: Re: Backing it in Post by: Grrrly on July 07, 2008, 12:25:13 PM its called supermoto ;D
in case you cant see: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zpHC8HQyKgE speaking of flat track... for those of you going to Indy in sept, are you guys also going to the AMA flat track races as well that sat night? Title: Re: Backing it in Post by: Pakhan on July 07, 2008, 12:50:56 PM speaking of flat track... for those of you going to Indy in sept, are you guys also going to the AMA flat track races as well that sat night? Not sure about any of that atm. But I did see AMA flat track at laconia years ago and it's a lot of fun to see it live, even if it is an oval. PS your link/ video seems to have got lost in the mix. Title: Re: Backing it in Post by: GLantern on July 07, 2008, 01:08:34 PM Pls fix the linky IG ??? i want to see what my next sport should be
Title: Re: Backing it in Post by: GLantern on July 07, 2008, 05:28:55 PM Just watched the supermoto im in love with it, time to put street tires on my honda cr80 [evil]
Title: Re: Backing it in Post by: Cru Jones on July 07, 2008, 07:10:58 PM Just watched the supermoto im in love with it, time to put street tires on my honda cr80 [evil] That was my first motorcycle. I had a '87 CR80. [thumbsup] Man that was a fun bike! Title: Re: Backing it in Post by: GLantern on July 07, 2008, 07:29:14 PM That was my first motorcycle. I had a '87 CR80. [thumbsup] Man that was a fun bike! Nice mine is a 96 and it still runs like a champ i was popping wheelies in the farm fields yesterday Title: Re: Backing it in Post by: mookieo2 on July 08, 2008, 05:13:35 PM There has to be a video of someone trying that and highsiding somewhere. I watched a supermoto race recently on tv and they also had jumps made out of blacktop too in the course. It was really cool.
