Anyone see this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cAvAn76_W7Q

B-tista finishes on the podium only to crash doing a wheelie during cool down.

Talk about embarrassing (and EXPENSIVE)!!! :oops:

So, I've seen crashes on cold tires during warm up, but never a crash in our club during cool down... Anybody want to admit it?

I remember 2 of these (not wheelies) in 2007.

The second in Hastings....... (a ten-80 racer...not me)
8) 8) :lol:

I have crashed on both the warm up and cool down laps.

I have witnessed some racers crash in the pits before even making it out to pre-grid!

On a side note, B-tista just signed a 2 year deal with Suzuki in the premier GP class...

I guess crashing wasn't that bad for him.

Amarillo (sponsor) has to be happy about it. Pay for the bottom of the bike...get the top.
