I've been down many times. Some easy... some not so easy and some... I don't remember what happened... BUT... On the 18th of this month, We just had a young fellow by the name of Tim Petersen do a 'slide' in our area and hit a small pole. He was rushed to the hospital but didn't make it. My heart & thoughts go out to his family and friends. My he rest in peace.

I went down doing about 60 mph. Sherriff's department said I slid 300 feet...Bike slid 500 feet. The guy I was riding with said he didn't think the bike was ever going to stop sliding......lol...

at 60 mph and bike sliding 500 ft,virtually impossible unless it was a very steep down hill grade,and you slide 300 ft,another impossible act of gravity,you can't even lie good

Prob because he was going faster that 60... acceleration positive and negative is all about frame of reference.
