Hi, Guest
^^^
In response to this...I know the risks, and i accepted it. Just like everyday at work, when i have to be around Running jets and walking 6 - 7 feet away from a RUNNING turbine engine...that could suck me in and spit me out like hamburger....accepted risk, besides it's my job.
I don't know what the problem is, we aren't racing anyone here, it's a closed road..no traffic, no pedestrians, just wildlife and plants...
Yes he's a nut job on a bike...is that my problem...nope...will he probably wind up hurting himself bad...maybe...whos to say...but thats him. He'll drive like that with or without a camera running, so am i gonna preach to him and shake a finger at him and say " you should really slow down".... I could, but will HE listen..nope, 21 years old and knows it all. (remember you were that age too)
as for me...I had the cam set up on a tripod..(as seen in the pic) when i passed, he decided to walk up to it at the last minute....now, do i A) Slam on my brakes at that speed and risk losing control and hitting him...or B) keep going and trust he doesn't trip on his running shoe lace. I opt for B here.
Yes I Laid in the road...risk assesment....acceptable....and thats what i did. Accepted the potential risk of being mashed into dust had something gone wrong...I accept risk everyday, crossing the road...eating popcorn (choke hazard ya know)....taking a friggin' shower (slip hazard ya know)
Yes i'm aware that FC doesn't accept street racing...however, we WEREN'T racing anyone except ourselves. I wasn't bragging about smoking a mercedes that lost control. It was a CLOSED course video shoot...and the only potential corpses would of been him and I.
You know, every once and a while someone will post a link to some guy burning up tires, or racing up and down a street "TESTING" an exhaust or something, yet no body bitches about that..i seem to see "WERD" or "TOTALLY COOL"...written after the post...
So in closing, if my friend does crack up his bike, well, then that means theres more room on the road for you i guess.
