Why is this cool and why are some people being looked up to for doing this? Help me understand this...
Some people crave attention and will do just about anything to achieve it. Other people think it's entertaining to watch. Different strokes.
Watch MM93 start doing it claiming it helps get the bike pointed out the corner. Helmet sliders errywhere.....
there are a lot of racing fans that watch cuz its "dangerous" or "nuts". this is just more of that. they also don't know that its a great way to destroy a helmet. u know, the normal fans - not the fanatics like us.
Wait till the front washes out, he lands with all his weigh on his helmet and it rolls that shit backwards.
Funny thing is the original guy is actually quite fast. Very fast. He was quick at Daytona right up til the fiery crash.
