Default minimoto crash!

Went minimoto last week for the first time in a while, it were fun!!

Here is a little snippet of where things went a bit wrong!!! ... it's all that power you see!!!

heheh, I think I either grounded out or tried to tap just that little bit too much on too early!!

My mate found it amusing anyway!!

Not 100% sure he had to get involved in my off mind ... he obviously just wanted to join in like any mate would!!

The thing I love about mimimoto is you just pick the bike up, kick the bars straight (I had to cut that bit of the vid out as my mate was giggling and swearing loudly in his lid!! ) and you are away again

anyhoo, here is the little clip

I guess running me over is always gonna be fun!!

There are a few about but not enough

Why can't the gov focus effort/money at erecting proper facilities ... doing so would greatly reduce the growing minimoto 'problem'

i fell of my mates minimoto a few years back, we where buzzin around the company car park i used to work at after hours and gettin cocky i was cornerin abit to fast my foot caught the floor and sent me into a made wobble ended up headin straight for my mates car which i hit with my right shoulder breaking his back light lol. Good job it wasnt with my helmetless head. Very silly i know. I also fell off another one a few months later thought it might be a good idea to do a wheelie and flipped it. they dont wheelie so well to short lol bloody dangerous things haha.

My bike is an LC bike (~8hp, not one of the little 2hp 'cag's), so pretty rapid ... therefore I tend to need to roll off a bit for turn 1, but after scrubbing a few MPH, it is then back on the power and drive all the way through turn 2 onto the backstaright ... my bike is flat out down there!!

Never used one of their karts. I actually have a my own kart (going to Forest Edge this weekend ) so can’t see myself ever trying one of theirs either!!

I’ll give you a shout next time I go to Hully! Have you got your own minimoto?
