put yourself in someone else's shoes for a minute: if you were trying to dig your bike out of the trees and some fool is standing 20 feet away snappin photos instead of helping, would you be happy about it?

Seriously, why are you being such a fuckin douche about this? HE DID GIVE A HELPING HAND AFTER THE GUY QUIT SPINNING. These photographers see wrecks all the time. Look at Killboy.com, there is like 2 or 3 wrecks on the front page this week. They check on the rider/driver after each one. The guy paid for a tow service to get him back up the mountain, not the photog. They can't run around the gap helping every idiot that flys off the mountain. They have no concern for bike damage, they will assist in what they can in human damage.

Seriously don't come to the gap because you obviously have no fucking idea what you are talking about and don't understand how much help the photog's are to the place.

I would LOVE to have pics of my crash...it'd be worth every penny to make a flip book outta it.

Seriously tho, Evadd how do you know the guy didnt ask them to get some shots of pulling it up the mountain? I know I would have just for the novelties sake.

For sure, If I'm going down it would be cool to have pics....to look at at a much later date.

He probably dragged his right peg and it unset the suspension, thus eliminating any traction the rear wheel had, causing him to spin like that.

Why does it have to always be a military guy? Maybe its an engineer that thought it would be cool to have the bestest bike evar so he can ride like rossi.
Or do you know the guy, so you know his story?

And after putting the bike down, why would you not put your jacket back on to ride it out?

Good point, though if I had the chance to re-up for 15k tax free again id cert dump it right into a rsv4r just like it, albiet in black

Yeah, I'm not saying it doesn't happen. But why is that always everyones first assumption.

Because it was posted on the local forum and the photog and local that helped him pull it out talked to him for awhile waiting for the tow truck.

Yep because when I got hit several years ago on the Big Dog Bull Dog that I owned I had a compound fracture of my femur and have often wondered if it was already sticking out (had to be) and what it must have looked like when I went flying over the car and thru the air for a little while plus bouncing/tumbling down the road. I wonder if my leg was flopping around in weird positions the whole time. I wouldn't have wanted to see it right then but now I'd love too !!
