At least he put his protective long sleeve t-shirt down.
Don't know who I respect less, him or the "buddy" teaching him.
Doomed from the moment he flashed the "I'm cool, dude" hand sign to the camera man.
with friends like those... [roll]
Yeah, those "friends" are assholes. The guy has some serious roadrash and is obviously shocked, and they are just laughing at him...
Beside the fact that it's an internet video, the question of whether or not he'd driven stick before was an obvious sign of doom.

That was hilarious, his friends are dicks, but I couldnt stop laughing.
"you're good, you're good, you're good. thats what it feels like John. You've got a little road rash."
Did you guys watch the next video it offered on that link? It gave me a video of a guy on what looked like a Hayabusa trying to do a front flip into a big padded cushion pit... like the X-Games guys learn on... that one is pretty damn hilarious too! [popcorn]
he didnt' get bad road rash if you noticed he got a little maybe on his arm but it wasn't bleeding at all, so he was lucky.
but yeah, maybe he shouldn't hvae been tgrying to learn on a supersport bike as that thing was not a beginner bike.
definitely a good advertisement for taking msf.
but it was funny that bike rolled over 2 times damn...

Actually, the rash was pretty deep. It just wasn't bleeding
yet....
That was ALMOST how Jobu's first ride ended. He too had never driven anything with a clutch.
;D
