BSB 2021: Tarran Mackenzie's HUGE highside at Cadwell Race 1

[@984francis]

Truly, bike racers are gladiators. Glad he seems OK.

[@ct026]

Unlike footballers!

[@DarthSmokealot]

@@ct026 was about to reply with something very simar ... watching the moto 3 kids fall off at 100mph, slide down the road then jump up and chase their bike, get back on and go again.... a footballer trips over his laces and rolls around like he has been shot .... I know who I think deserves 100k a week....

@@DarthSmokealot 100% mate. It’s not only pitiful when they do it but it’s also not in the spirit of sportsmanship.

[@DarthSmokealot]

@@ct026 very few sports genuinely have sportsmanship anymore, partly due to bad teaching from schools and parents, partly because of these participation trophies.. kids don't lose how to deal with losing and how to be happy with doing their best and understand that some days, someone else will be better ..

Now that’s “beyond track limits”. Glad he is ok

He should not be permitted to walk until his back is X-rayed. He is limping and her could have broken something. That was a nasty hit.

[@kai325d3]

Cadwell is so narrow. Happy to see him walk off

[@raynic1173]

The speed of that ejection would make a fighter pilot jealous.

[@gregrsvr3947]

Considering he was accelerating out of a slow corner the kinetic energy shown when the bike took off was incredible, shows the power of the modern superbike.

[@WIPEYOURLENZ]

He was on the grass and it just gripped when it hit the tarmac.

[@rwd323]

Probably doing 80mph when it flicked him off though

[@WIPEYOURLENZ]

@@rwd323 With the wheel spin on the grass he probably redlined it.

[@Priappe]

I guess u can do it easily with any bike as long as you are exiting a corner with a bit of throttle and the rear wheel in the grass :D

Cadwell is such a great track, both for racing and for spectators, I live near to it and can hear the bikes blasting around it all the time.

[@HighLiner15]

Holy Hell!! Glad he's ok 👌 Scary

[@vinniep9562]

They dont f*ck around with the long lap at Caldwell. Wow! Glad to see him get up and walk it off though.

[@mrkang4080]

There's a reason their are red/white bumpers and green paint BEFORE the grass on all motogp courses... people cry that the stewards are harsh about track limit warnings, but that green paint represents grass, and this video shows what happens if you hit grass on corner exit/entry. Nasty high side, glad he seems OK.

[@kennypowers3654]

There is no Motogp track that is this narrow with grass that close to the marker lines

[@canningsimon]

I take it you have never made a mistake on a bike. Riders know, believe it or not, but are always on the limit.

[@H4nnub4l]

Those awful MotoGP parking lot road tracks are a modern invention, Cadwell is a real racetrack where there is mostly no need of track limit rules as the track deals with the limit by itself, as it should be.

Oh dear! So happy he's ok after that! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@lindsayrogers6690]

I have the utmost respect for these guys. I have climbed some of the toughest mountains in the world but I hold up my hands - I do not possess the courage required to do this. Respect lads.

[@BrianBell4073]

Heights scare me. Speed doesn't. It is kinda the same thing. Make a mistake and you might die. Watch some TT for a proper rush.

[@lindsayrogers6690]

@@BrianBell4073 you’re right there, Brian. I try to get over to the Island every 2 years. One year I ran my R1 round the mountain and didn’t hang around but in all honesty I looked like I had bloody stabilisers on my machine compared with these guys. As I say, utmost respect.

[@BrianBell4073]

@@lindsayrogers6690 Years ago I was out on a production Fireblade in full leathers and all the body armour I could buy. This bloke in a jumper and a pair of jeans went past me through Quarry on a 250 like I was parked. Met him in the pits later. Apparently Mr. McCallen was taking it easy as they wanted to test the jetting.

[@winneyjr9861]

I was there for race 2 and 3 and saw Hickman win his second and then get taken on the last lap for the triple, great track!! 👍👍

[@bikesonabudgetuk5313]

Fuck me, slice of luck there that the bike didn't follow.

[@Bikeadelic]

I've done a few days at cadwell, thats a slippy corner even when the rest of the track is dry. Mackenzine flicks the bike over so fast and precise. Nasty crash hope he gets back on soon and keeps it rubber side down!

[@bizim_eller]

Blah, blah, blah!!!

[@mozer30]

Slippery corner? The bike was upright on the small straight before barn. It was the grass that was slippery

[@Bikeadelic]

@@mozer30Yes I saw his back tire. Regardless that corner is slippery, it's in the shade most of the day so it gets a bit mossy and damp. I have actually ridden on the track in the wet and the dry.

[@patchthesinclair5896]

There are a couple of lakes in past those trees and the way that bike took off over the barrier I thought it was heading for the smaller one

Looked like the Marshall's had a close call , glad everyone walked away (well , - one limped away , -but still good news).

[@karlmoody4891]

It is only when they come off that you realise just how quick they are going...that was coming out of a slow corner with only a short burst of acceleration and both bike and rider left this world

[@geordienufc3132]

That was brutal, thankfully he's not too seriously hurt.

[@whothebeast666]

Crazy how close they get to the grass. Before even the crash happened I was certain 25 was about to lose it at 0:06 Panicked when I saw Mackenzie go outside the white line, glad he got up

[@111jkjk]

What an unforgiving track 🤯

[@Chris675R]

It's unnecessary dangerous, they could easily do some paved run off next to the track, instead of just grass. That isn't even expensive, but it can save lives and avoids unnecessary injuries.

[@vladimirzimonja8103]

If i ever saw i highside. And i didn't miss a Moto GP or SBK race for...since 1998. BSB rules,so many times better racing than WSBK. And my favourite rider/commentator Mr.Whitham is there so... just keep it on. Oh yes,i will NEVER forget Whitham's highside at Brands. Man did he go off there... "i crashed it so hard it broke the damper"hahaha... Whitham rules. Burnicle also. All old school. Nice to see that when everything is going down in quality. Oh,one more thing-what was Tarran doing not on the paint but OVER the paint and on the grass? Weird one. But he's up and walking. That's what counts.
