Interesting riding style. Comments?

[gm2]

There was a fat kid a few trackdays ago that rode like that. He was an idiot and a hazard on the tack.  Had he kept it up that day would have been my first time in four years of track riding that I would have complained about somebody's riding to the officials.  In the second session he almost highsided right in front of me and completely blew the corner in a big way.  None of us saw any of him for the rest of the day.

that was the guy that dustin was pointing at during the rider's meeting on friday.  same fat asshole; 'spaceboy', or whatever his leathers say.  he was there again but for some reason i only saw him on track twice.  i just about stopped my bike first time i saw him in front of me.

I remember this video before being sent to me by Stillie a few months back and it was going around one of the other larger forum groups around here....supposedly the guy is a flat tracker just fooking around with sliding the rear in this video...so he has a complete idea of what he was doing and knows the consequences....

FWIW...the guy in this video and McCoy are coming from 2 completely different ideas of what to do and why....McCoy was not the type of person to push on the front end the way the guys who came from smaller GP bikes do to maintain cornerspeed...so he rely'd on his ability to initially steer with the rear in  a way to square off the corner and point and shoot...Nicky doesn't do it as much as he used to...especially the last year of the 990...but the 800cc Honda has taught him some management of the front end moreso and to use his backing in differently...I don't think he'll ever stop doing it...just a degree of which he has to come to terms with in it's usage...and the GP9 will temper that as well to a degree I think...

To me it sounded like Nicky needed to make better use of his traction control.. so that he was still spinning but he should have been able to adjust the TC better so that he did not wear out his tire ..

This a fun vid to watch ..   

I think Mccoy is great but had some really bad falls that he never fully healed from

eh...kinda old thread.

Anyway...the OPs video is of a local racer...I can't remember his name, but he's supposedly really fast. He also doesn't always ride like that...he's goofing off for the camera.

Track is our local track...Pacific Raceways in Kent, WA (outside of Seattle).

edit: his name is Mitchell Pierce. He didn't race tis past season of WMRRA due to a personal commitment, but will be back.

I think there was something wrong with the way the guy in the 1st vid was riding.

He just looked to me to be allover the track which would be slower and more dangerous to himself and the other riders.

He just didn't look smooth, maybe that's what I was seeing most.       Dolph
