@Geoff4rfc - didn't you do this same thing when you moved back to TX from WA one afternoon, while also pulling a trailer behind as well?I disabled signatures.

I've had a fantasy idea, that for one day, say an early Sunday morning the entire Baltimore beltway from beginning to end would be closed off for one hour. All the exits and entrances blocked by state police getting overtime pay. Then any one who wanted could bring their car/motorcycle and drive as fast and as recklessly as they wanted. No tickets, no points, plenty of ready EMTs and ambulances. Get it out of their systems, maybe a modest entry fee to help pay for overtime, etc.

Lol @msg well it would have been a miracle if I had Scott. The tires on the trailer from Freeway Trailer that sponsored me had a speed rating of 75mph. And though I haven't had my V8 F-150 quite that fast, the liter pictured on my profile would do 185mph without breaking a sweat, which is more that I can say about myself when I was on it

Thanks amigo. I only raced the liter class in 06. I was mostly a 750 guy from 86-95, then from 03 to 05. 07-08 was on a 600, worst mistake I ever made lol, should have stayed on the liter. Here's a couple of 750 shots.

Jeez, I hope he doesn’t injure or kill anyone else when he inevitably wrecks someday. Crazy to watch, but so careless. Go to a track or something.

I wonder - for less time than it's taking me to write this - what the terms of service are that the video violates.
Illegal activity?
Promotion of dangerous behavior on the impressionable youth who see and celebrate worse in GTA games?
Judgement of general suckiness because he was too slow? I mean he could barely sustain 180mph, after all. That's one's legit, and only fair.
I heard he turned down Red Bull sponsorship, and they were pissed.
Don't you know who we are?!? No one rejects us! We reject you! And so they leaned on YouTube because they couldn't exploit his same dangerous acts for profit.I disabled signatures. -
I had a couple of screen captures up on my computer from when I watched this when first posted. Thought this one was cool

Oof.
Who/what was filming? I didn't see a stick or anything. I know it wasn't a drone.
Okay, I can see the shadow of the stick now in the full video.
He posted that this accident was from 4 months ago. I don't know how he was even able to edit that to post without reliving it. on the youtube site you can slow it down to 0.25. I'm not really sure what happened. maybe approach was too fast for the gap. at first I thought he clipped the semi, throwing him into the truck, but it looks like he just doesn't make the gap for whatever reason. maybe panicked when he saw how short it was.

At those speeds you would have to know where you are going far before you get there and any miscalculation would be a bad day as you can see in the video.- Not Tom ::::::: Any system can play Diana Krall. Only the best can play Limp Bizkit.

Wow, yes sir, that was the proverbial..."it's just a matter of time" saying.
His closing speeds were WAY too fast to negotiate traffic safely and successfully, scaring the crap out of just about everyone he passed. In fact, I can hear someone right now saying..."what WAS that???
His reflexes weren't there for another, MSF tells you to simply stand up on the foot pegs upon impact so you're thrown clear of the accident. HOW that rig didn't turn that guy into gnat butter is beyond me.
I think I heard someone just say, "there's no way you can think to react that fast", well, yes you can.
Your mind slows everything down so you are able to calculate closing speeds for passing, entry points for corners, shift points, etc etc.
One quick boring scenario out of 800K lol.....@PIR, off the brakes from the front straight into T-1, top speed = 185mph, entry speed = 120mph. knees and boots sliding on the pavement, dude in front of me is spinning up the rear, I see smoke coming off of it so I know this is about to get ugly so, I tighten up my line, giving him room to either get catapulted over the top or just fall and slide out.
Well, he over corrects (throttle) but not smooth enough and the bike snaps back to the inside and I'm thinking, crap, this guys going down directly in front of me. Mind you, we're the top four bikes, all on liters and wheel to wheel at 120mph in a double apex corner. So, now I widen my line through this corner and what, the dude falls down, slides across my line. I stand the bike straight up, run over this guy (separated his shoulder and fractured his wrist) and head into the grass at a thousand miles an hour.
It was a very short distance to the tire wall and I already know, if I hit this thing and stand up, I'm going to become rocket man and might not come down until I reach the next county, so, I tap the front brake, hit the ground, bounced a ways, up into the tire wall I go, the bike comes next, hit me in the leg and breaks my leg just above the ankle.
That was the only bone I ever broke in all those years of racing, and it could have been so much worse had I made a different decision in that split instant.
This dude here in the video, clearly a squid (no offense Navy). Got his cute selfie stick and racing through traffic. And when the s h i t hits the fan, so does he.Source: BRP Panasonic UB9000, CDP Emotiva ERC3 - Display: LG OLED EVO 83 C3 - Pre/Pro: Marantz 8802A - Amplification: Emotiva XPA-DR3, XPA-2 x 2, XPA-6, Speakers, Mains/2ch-Focal Kanta No2's, C-LSiM706, S-702F/X, RS-RTiA9's, WS-RTiA9's, FH-RTiA3's, Subs - Epik Empire x 2

It looks like the pickup driver applied brakes right before the crash because of traffic in front of him. Not to say the crash dummy could have made the gap anyway given his level of reckless incompetence. BTW, based on the highway signs this was on I-95 north of the Daytona International Speedway in Florida. Too much truck traffic and too many Sunday driver types to do that stuff around there. -
