Well I was having a blast at Jennings GP this friday I was doing really good and the bike felt great. On about the 5th session I had a hard high side on the middle of turn 8.

here is a video of the last little bit before the crash (the riders around me were instructors)

Race or track day? It looks like you would have been OK had the guy in yellow not been there.

rainmanEK

it was a track day...

I broke every bone in my right foot, i was out of state in a hospital for two nights...

sell the kwak? no way! its fixable

I have no idea why it happended, I think maybe just because it was because it was the last lap of the session and the rear tire started to get slick and it just slid out a little!

I will not be able to put pressure on my foot for atleast 4 months!!


thanks for the nice words, eric

it wasnt really a question; more like a statement. i just put in the '?' to ease the blow.

as much as we've seemed to disagree in the past, im glad ur alright man.

i was just suprised there werent any half naked pics in this one.

I have that same Arai helmet too. Good to hear your ok (except your foot) though.

out of curiosity... what boots were you wearing??

Watching the video, seems like ya changed yer line kinda quick (rider on the inside came up quick)- might've low sided in that transition (which of course would unload the rear tire).

Didn't seem like you were on the gas enough to spin up the rear or engine braking to lock it up.

My .02 - and that folks, is why so many of us recommend goin to the track

On the street, he might not have been here to tell the tale.

Heal fast.

WHEN I WAS YOUNG AND I WOULD CRASH MY DAD USED TO LET ME RIDE THE AMBULANCE BACK TO THE PITS. I HOPE YOU GOT TO WAVE TO THE CROWD AND THEN RIDE IN THE AMBULANCE.

AMBULANCE RIDES FTW

glad to hear your injuries isn't too severe but not able to put pressure on your foot for 4 months is going to suck.

sorry im tired - let me rephrase

do you think your foot is broken becuase A* SMX+ boots did not do its job, or do you think it was going to happen no matter what boot you were wearing
