I had a buddy do that on Palomar Mountain, he didn't have such a nice fall. Crushed a couple vertebrae in his neck, broke a bunch of other shit.... Between that and my other buddy who got his head run over (in his helmet) on I-8, I didn't need to see any more to decide maybe I was a bit too much of a pussy to ride sport bikes anymore.

That dude got LUCKY. Bad things happen when you ride outside your skill level, especially surrounded by distractions and hazards (rocks, cars, cliffs etc)

 

[RedBeard]

Hooollllyyyy shit! That is one lucky motherfucker.

I have 0 balls to be on a bike out on the street, in for dirt bikes tho

Wow! Biker is lucky he's not messed up worse or dead.

Good buddy to climb down after him.

You see how the camera guy has a hard time getting down and up the hill while the paramedics/firefighters just take it in stride like an everyday thing (while carrying their equipment). Real heroes.

 

[Mr Baytchos]

Yeah that didn't look fun at all. His damn bike was stuck in the tree

Darwin was like, "Sorry I missed you buddy, I’m sure we’ll catch up real soon."

 

[BS ISF]

THIS!!! Riding past your skill level or distracted. He was very lucky.

I do tend to push the envelope at times but I am very aware of my skill level. I know my limits, not to say things don't happen.

In for you getting dirt bike to go along with X3. I will bring DRZ over if you want to take it for a spin.

Slightly off the subject, but does he have to pay later on for the heli extract? Or how does all that go?

Yeah he will pay. Or insurance will.

Super expensive, too. A friend was in a motorcycle crash and she had a bill in the middle five figures for the helicopter ride and a few treatments.

Dude got extremely lucky.

There was a time I was riding when my front wheel started hopping. I let off the throttle and grabbed control and started on the throttle again. Got wheel hop again but worse and front wheel was going all the way left and right as I was coming up to a guardrail at 70mph head on. I was bracing myself but ended up getting better control. Instead of hitting the guardrail head on, I grinding who knows how far along the guardrail with my knee pinned up against it. I had to push off with my leg to get back on the road. I was able to drive home and access the damage at home and that's when I went into a little shock (hand and legs shaking, adrenaline pumping).

Shortly after that, I stopped riding since my wife (gf at the time) would get terrified of me riding (she lost her close cousin on a bike accident).

I'm assuming that's the Angeles Crest highway since it's mountains and it's LA county. That's an absolutely beautiful stretch of road but there's no forgiveness. If you go over you're generally going really far over. He got really lucky.

Here's another guy on the same stretch of road that also got lucky...
