You might call this kicking a man when he's down, but honestly, I don't think it is. Look, we all know I don't like Alessi, but let's try to see this crash from an analytical standpoint. I watched this video over and over. I busted out the test tubes, I made graphs, got everything laminated, real official. And you know what? I completely think that he could have been able to save that without the botched front flip attempt. What the fuck is this kid thinking? Look at the bike as he lands; that was saveable. I'm not saying it's a guarantee, just that it could have been done. Mike, you don't throw your shit into front flip mode unless you literally can look straight up and only see the ground. There's no saving that. That was just this side of retarded.

So Should We Breakdown Alessi's Frontflip?

Haha I replayed it a few times and he def could have saved that..It almost looks like he jumped up off the pegs and over the handlebars. Maybe a suicide attempt??
ReplyDeletehahahaha every time i watch this i laugh so hard. WTF was he thinking!
ReplyDeleteyou are an idiot if you think anyone would do that intentionally. he was going down either way. he just attempted to protect his head, obviously didnt really work but i can still see what he was trying to do.
ReplyDeleteNo dude your an idiot for calling people Idiots!!! He totally tried to kill himself right there!! If you break out the rulers you see that his trajectory was ok and that he def could have saved it!! but since he sucks and his dad pushes him to hard he totally tried to end it all right there!!
ReplyDeleteOk I change my mind he was trying to do a superman seat grab but got confused and jumped over the bars instead of flying off the back of the bike!!!
ReplyDeleteThat is a weird crash, but Alessi is the weirdest guy out there. James Stewart is gaining him though.
ReplyDeleteThis video looks like it's from LACR in 1988. But, if you looks closely, you can see it really is the navy seal himself. I thought it was a fake, something submitted by senior seal to pull out of the season completely. Get back to the compound and start testing that factory TM that team seal will break out next year.
ReplyDeleteLast time I went over like that was a seat bounce gone wrong. I think the seat came up and booted him in the butt sending him over the bars. But yes an arm flapping faceplant might have been a better dismount.
ReplyDeletethe seat hit his butt sending his body over the bars...he did what he could
