Not his bike, he never crashes...

Don't let him in the garage...

My favorite tire, ruined after only 1,500 miles...

Wait a minute, what's this?

Something is rotten in the state of Denmark, er, Sweden!

That track did work to my power races too... They are shredded.

Did the bolt just back out of the rear shock???

Looks like your MX skills paid off on that one Eric!

No dirt bike skills needed. That was all from pushing it on the recovery truck. Turns out I could have ridden it back to the garage.

Here is the video of the shock failing while turning in to Clubhouse Corner. Turn on the sound and you can hear the vibration. You can also see the camera vibrate a little. There is no compression damping so the spring is just bouncing, oscillating without control.
