When he hopped that fallen tree he came down almost vertical, how he kept the handle bars from turning and landing on his head IDK..
Justin I too am surprised he didn't break his chin there. The guy must be hulk strong.
That was very bad form. I imagine he'd still have bad form on a proper dirt bike too. Logs, rocks, train tracks etc. should be approached at a steady speed (dictated by the vertical height of obstacle and wheelbase of bike) with the rider standing upright in the middle of the bike. When the front wheel hits it should be encouraged to pop up but throttle off once popped. Before the back wheel hits the rider should be leaned forward since the front is now in the air. Once the back wheel makes contact the throttle should be carefully blipped to make the bike airborne and then maintained just enough so torque keeps the front end up while the bike hops over the obstacle. If the obstacle is longer than a log but narrower than a set of train tracks you simply jump right over it. Tap the back brake a bit after clearing to bring the front end down in a controlled manner for a smoother landing. If the obstacles is longer than train tracks ride a wheelie across the top of it assuming there's clearance to do so.
A cruiser's frame geometry isn't suitable for these kinds of acrobatics. That's why dude came down like he did. It could have been worse if he didn't catch himself with his right leg. He'd have really wished he was wearing proper protective gear then. As it is he likely couldn't walk or sleep comfortably for awhile due to pain in his knee, hip and shoulders.
I have to say this every time I watch some stunt driving jackass pull this stuff.
I bought a full chest protector and the thing saved me from becoming wheelchair bound for the rest of my life the very 1st time I wore it.
You want to do daring things off road then fine at least be smart about it and use the proper gear to protect your health and your life.
