Scraped tail n wrecked
Yeah, I am ok, till I look at my bike, and until everyone I know starts calling me dumbass! I was one so I cant say much...My wife rocks, she was mad, but then said, you should have had better gear and been practicing in a lot with bigger gears so I am going slower, and of course she said, why didnt you cover your back break. I know better and have been riding for years, I am paying 4 it, trust me!I would type a helluva write up, but I only get to type with one hand. Long story short I was on a 4 lane one way in town at a red light with no one in front of me, first thought, wheelie heaven. Popped it up at about 25-35 and revved it more to bring it up to about 10oclock, I had been watching guys get past the balance point on stunt videos and being able to slow it down, it started coming down a bit as I obviously wasn't quite to bp so i revved a liitle and that was it, my stock shovel and tail scraped (woo hoo at least I can say I scraped) the shovel kicked me to the right side and my long acro pipe scraped into the asphault, my right foot went off and that was it as I was standing at prob 10 feet tall on my pegs at about 50mph. Rolled like crazy into a curb then fence to stop me and the bike, I am so lucky to be hating all this pain, God has given me a lot of get out of death free cards. Witnesses said I ragdolled feet to helmet then rolled 20x and that the bike endoed. I havent had much time to check out the bike, but prayin frame and motor are good. Winter project. If it is bad it will be a lot bike, if good it will be my commuter, road bike and i will get a fiddy for stuntin till I improve, i will keep posting pics as i can move...STUNTLIFE ROCKS!

Re: Scraped tail n wrecked
Yeah, broken shoulder, both knees lost all skin, doc said he had nothing left to stitch it bac together, my coat lifted as i slid backwards at one point and i have severe rash on my belly down to where my leather belt saved my nutz, both legs are rashed all the way down, broken toe with toe nail lifted back about an inch...i have to squeeze it to keep blood flowing out, my butt is totally rashed, I will spare those pics 
, both knees are about softball size, bruising on inside of on thigh all the way down, dented clavical bone, and a huge hit to my pride...bike just turned 3000 miles and was sooo minty, maybe I should get another goldwing.....nahhhhhh

Re: Scraped tail n wrecked
Thanks, honestly it felt like the tail hit an twisted me sideways, and its all good, I expect stuntlife to be the harshest, and getting replied to from nags is like getting shot by someone famous. I may well have looped, at 50 it was too fast, and everythimg felt like it was done b4 I knew. A local stuntrider saw it and told me I twelved for a second and then pitched right, I have been wanting to meet this group, but not this way...
he said he had lots of parts, and now my bike is an official stuntbike!:YEAH

Yup brake control practice is due, I thought I had it but my ol shitty vans slipped the peg and I was done. I just got my stasis shoes that night, they are pimp looking by the way, the only shoe I will buy from now on..

Eat me! I never said this **** was easy, and have nothing but respect for serious stunters!
Just wanted to post my experience, if anything you can add this to the squid file.
