This Is What It Looks Like When You Ride Your Dirtbike Into A Barbed Wire Fence At 30 MPH


This Is What It Looks Like When You Ride Your Dirtbike Into A Barbed Wire Fence At 30 MPH

As I have mentioned many times in the past, there are some fundamental things keeping me from becoming a motorcycle enthusiast. The first is a distinct lack of coordination and fine motor skills and the second one is a strong fear of crashing and after watching this video, my position is unchanged. The rider you will see here is a seemingly experienced guy who has an active YouTube channel where he posts lots of videos of his adventures and various rides around Oklahoma where he lives.

In this video, we’re getting a helmet cam view of his travels across a big dirt environment. We have no idea what the place is specifically but maybe we can guess it is a drilling site or something? There’s evidence of heavy equipment tires in the loose dirt and as you are about to see, there were some safety precautions taken to keep people out of the area where this guy was riding, which he didn’t see until it was far too late. The guy shows his crash in both real time speed and then again in slow motion. It is pretty interesting because clearly the guy flat out did not see the fence and he got on the brakes way late for any hope of actually stopping on time.

One thing we want to ask the regular motorcycle guys here is about why the engine wings way up. Did the guy twist the throttle as he was coming off the bike? We can’t really figure it ourselves. It seems like this rider is a lucky dude that he wasn’t cut up too badly from the barbed wire and that his bike seems largely intact. Falling on to dirt must have helped that part of his program some. We can only imagine the string of words that went through his head just before smashing up against the barbed wire. OUCH! Also, we have to wonder what this guy told his wife when he got home. “How was your ride today?” — “Oh, it was great.”
