BMW S1000RR Highside Crash | Barber Motorsports Park

Rider on a BMW S1000RR highsides coming out of turn 5 at Barber Motorsports Park

[@StreetMotoZ]

You guys were getting it! Nice riding and good avoiding hitting the rider in front. Hope no one is hurt.

[@bladetc]

that was pretty quick of you to avoid the rider. it was close! good job.

[@cheetah740]

Thank you!

[@matthewguzman6806]

Mannnnn good job not hitting that guy! That’s sorta how my highside on turn 2-3 looked. My butt still hurts lol.

[@Metroidfreek]

I actually know this guy, he fractured his back, shoulder, and left hand and got a concussion but still made it to work the next day! Bad but it could have been a lot worse

[@cheetah740]

Wow! I didn't know the extent of his injuries. Did he get back to riding again?

[@Metroidfreek]

@@cheetah740 he did. He says he’s considering giving up track riding since he’s getting old (57) and can’t bounce as well as he used to lol. But he hasn’t yet, said he loves it too much.

[@natecote1971]

​@Metroidfreek he needs a Alpinestars techair 10 airbag!

[@lindsayrogers6690]

Now, that’s impressive! If he were a professional footballer he’d be off on full pay of millions claiming PTSD, trauma and ruffled hair. Absolute respect to the guy.

How are you? Good to feature this video for an edit that I’m working on? You’ll be credited on screen with watermark. Cheers!

Sure

[@CenaJ675r]

T5 at barber in my opinion is the most technical turn on the track

[@cheetah740]

I agree, one you can take many different ways but still go fast

[@CenaJ675r]

@@cheetah740 Can't relate bcus I'm still slow lol so I only tried to take it 2 different ways yesterday. The 2nd line was much smoother. Thanks for the content bro. Love what you guys do at STT

[@Master_Yoshi]

Sheeesh!

[@cheetah740]

@@CenaJ675r Appreciate that man and thanks for watching!

[@esquire9445]

Could he have just layer it down and pushed himself away from the bike? Did that happen because he tried to save it? What’s the right way to handle that so you don’t get launched?

[@cheetah740]

No, these things happen very quickly. He could have just been not as agressive on the throttle.

[@Hei1Bao4]

I saw the rear wheel pop out a bit in the corner before and expected it then. You backed off and for a minute it looked all good, but then it happened again much worse the next corner. I assume heavy rear braking was the culprit both times?

[@natecote1971]

I wonder if the slide control on the 23/24 would have prevented this?

[@anselherz837]

Too much throttle at that lean angle, right?

[@rowdybroomstick6394]

Still making the turn it looked like to me. And then it seems he added throttle instead of waiting for the bike to stand up. Plus is probably a fairly greasy tire with it being like the surface of the sun out there🤷

[@cheetah740]

Exactly, just needed to decrease lean angle if he is adding throttle.

[@MattieXMoto]

His leathers had no back protector?

[@MotoWarriorsss]

Glad you were fine mate, I was wondering if I could feature it in my next moto edit. Can I use it with proper credit given to you and a link back to your channel?

[@cheetah740]

sure

[@MotoWarriorsss]

@@cheetah740 Thank you!

[@smithshotracing]

I was right behind you when it happened... I didn't see the actual crash, but when I got around the corner, I saw the bike still moving and saw you almost pulled over.. we look at each other like "damn"

[@cheetah740]

Yeah man that was my 2nd close call that weekend. Just grateful lol

[@Pesting_Yawa]

What cause ? Breaking front?

[@wlt3585]

​@Pesting_Yawa He started to accelerate hard while still very leaned over. Rear tire lost and quickly regained traction. Just asked too much of the tire too quickly is all

[@jasonetter9171]

Did he have his TC turned off?

[@cheetah740]

Don't think so

[@acrmotorsports5697]

That wast last Sunday the 26?

[@cheetah740]

Yup

[@acrmotorsports5697]

@@cheetah740 I saw the ambulance and later I realized it was the guy that was parked at the pit in from of me! He look like he was fin just some scratches on his back.

[@MotorCrash22]

Hey! I'm wondering if I could use this video for my upcoming content?

[@cheetah740]

yes

[@ODH3]

amazing to watch at quarter speed- it's that momentary lurch at :39 that makes you a pole vaulter (I've done this at much slower speed on a much smaller bike)

[@AutoholicsDriveThru]

What happened? Did he get on the throttle a little bit too much?

[@cheetah740]

Yess just a bit

[@kieranhilditch5828]

looks like you ran wide to get a better drive and pass this guy better on that exit. thankfully you did and were'nt right on his tail huh :0

[@universmoto2.047]

Hi my friend, is it okay if I introduce you in my next video? Of course, I will give you full credit. Thank you very much !! :)

[@cheetah740]

Sure

[@NotechinusV]

That red gear bro must be at least 6'3. Hope he is ok.

[@Clintanderson18]

😱😱😱 glad you avoided that buddy.

[@Screenwriting]

If you have to crash it's always good to get it in camera.

[@Przyciapka]

Nice

[@therealbikerz]

Hey man. All good to feature it? Full credits will be given to you, of course. Thank you so much!

[@ChrisReed-x1m]

If you listen close you can hear someone yell " to bmw and beyond "

[@laurencejoaquin3675]

dragging you down the straight but clogging you in the corner. classic case of "all hat, no cattle". hope the guy is OK, but yeah, prolly not this thing.

[@CubanRider]

Close!

[@SilkLotus]

you saved his life by braking like you did

[@cheetah740]

Yeah man that could have gone so much worse than it did. Just grateful I was able to slow down.

[@pizzaparty-r1c]

When you think you're better than the traction control. 🤣🤡

[@oksennuspallo4384]

Why would you want traction control, abs or any other system that only p5ss13s use ? U r not the one driving when u have those systems active. Where do you draw the line between a bike with no riding aids and a rollercoaster that you just sit in and enjoy the ride without doing ja3ksh1t ??

[@kencomeaux6989]

Damn rohan.. u almost got him! Lol.. hope he aight

[@cheetah740]

I know man. I believe he was up after.

[@Papachristou1177]

Nice defensive riding

[@cheetah740]

Thanks bro!

[@armydog1002]

Ouch!

[@darkeagle4994]

kassovitz style😂😂😂

Sheesh! Glad you guys both ended up ok

[@VState60]

Fucking epic riding for all of it, but especially dodging the downed rider and bike/parts!!

[@cheetah740]

Thank you man it was gut wrenching

[@crashcanyon2068]

the cost of turning off traction control. Once he repairs the bike and heals up a bit he might turn it back on; at least he should, doesn't make since to ride without it.

[@hemanthreddygaddam353]
