A rider attempts to drift his motorcycle when all goes wrong! Seriously, wear body armour! Ouch.

Two motorcyclists collide while stunting! Bad idea to do a burnout and aim your bike at a guy in front of you. I don’t know if he was trying to do a wheelie or just forgot to hold onto the break.

A biker attempts a tank stoppie, loses it, and is nearly crushed as the motorcycle falls forward!

The biker is really lucky on this one, for sure! This could have easily turned into a freak motorcycle accident. But hey, it turned out well (minus the motorcycle crashing)!

I was on my motorcycle heading back to my college apartment after a lovely weekend with my family, about 30 miles away or so. It was barely twilight. A woman turned left in front of me, clearly didn’t see me (she didn’t look), and I hit her car roughly at her back wheel, was launched over the car, and literally landed on my face. Three of my teeth were broken, my knee was split open, and I broke a small bone in my foot that required me to get around with a cane for 4 months.

No serious accidents since then, though! That single incident made me paranoid. Now I think that car drivers are out to get me, so I assume that I’m invisible to them. It’s worked well so far.

A friend of mine got in a real bad accident, mainly caused by his own stupidity. He would race through intersections. What he’d do was sit at a red light, and watch the light in the opposing direction go from green to yellow to red. Then it was about to switch to red, he’d gun the bike and fly through the intersection like a drag race. This is pretty stupid, since we all know that intersections are where all the bad stuff happens, where car drivers don’t “see” you.

So, he tried this one time too many. It was around twilight again. He ripped it right into the intersection and got t-boned by an old man who sped up to grab the light. My buddy’s leg was smashed to pieces. When he finally came back to work, he brought an x-ray and showed us all the screws and strapping and bailing wire that they used to put the bones back together.

And he walks real funny now.

Motorcyclist loses control during an attempted stoppie and endos, sending the bike and man flipping into the air!

Man, this has gotta hurt! The motorcycle slows down a lot, is nearly stopped, even, but it’s that final jerk that sends both of them crashing to the ground. Later in the video you can see a bone sticking out of the guy, likely indicating a broken clavicle.

Oh, and a word of advice – do not take off the helmet! You never know what kind of head or neck trauma could have occurred, and something tells me that gloves under the back of the neck may not be as stable as you think. If you’re not knowledgeable in traumatic event procedures, notify someone who is. Better than your buddy being paralyzed. Hard to go riding on a Sunday, then, huh?

A motorcyclist attempts a stoppie, loses control, and the motorcycle crashes into people standing on the track!

First of all, let’s address the beginning of the video. For some reason the guy with the megaphone is siren slamming a camera guy’s ass. “Here he comes, here he comes, get ready!”

Secondly, how much would it suck to attempt a stoppie in front of a crowd, lose control, and crash into a group of people? It’s not like you’ll get a beer for that. You’ll always be that guy. On a more positive note, I think the guys that got smoked will stay the hell off the track from now on.

Oh, and Evan, where you at?!

This is a collection of motorcycle stunts gone wrong, both on and off the street.

A motorcycle stunt gone wrong. A motorcyclist loses control of the bike during a wheelie, sending the motorcycle tumbling out of control! He becomes infuriated at the idea that his bike could actually crash while performing a stunt.

Be sure to take note of what happens two minutes into the video. Makes me laugh every single time.

This video features various motorcycle crashes, both on the street and off-road. Sportbikes, motocross, and more!

At one point a guy crashes, ends up on the ground, and to top it off he gets smoked by another motorcycle. That’s what we call a bad day.
