I race a Honda 450 in 2006. I have Never endowed off a jump until I rode a Honda, and it happens 3 times that season . Went back to Yamaha and never had a endo again . Not blaming the bike and it was obvious what had happened (bighole)

Ken fell out of rhythm, may have been pushing a little too hard to get to the front early, may have been thinking instead of racing, no one knows however the video shows no good reason he shouldn't have passed through that section easily.

terrible crash....I hope all he has is a broken arm, it appeared like it could have done much more damage.

The bike working as it should, Kenny made an error.

I'll throw something in here I posted in another topic:

"I'll dip in some info here that should hopefully help you understand what happened. At MEC, Ken overshot the first rhythm in this section, compressing the suspension heavily and causing it to pop weird for the next set, which he then cased after losing his pop, then endo-ing off the third...

Tonight, he landed a little deep off the first rhythm, into a rut, blowing the shock through the stroke right as the bike hit a very abrupt triple face (a few guys had similar bucks with the abruptness of this lip).

Another factor, in my opinion, on why the reaction was so severe is Ken typically likes softer settings (from what I've been told by both his prior teams) which could compound this reaction.

Lastly, the bike itself wouldn't have a "flaw" in my opinion. The linkage ratio on this bike has been modified to match up to a near equal value of the previous models (well within the range of what other manufactures use). Their shock travel/stroke length wasn't compromised with the change either."
I can honestly say I am sick of hearing this bull crap from ml512 I mean what makes him so special he's a failed pro motocrosser couldn't even win a vet c race and he thinks he f^*kn knows it all winds me up something chronic he's nothing more than a poisoned dwarf who speaks utter bulls";t about sx/mx his bike tests are laughable as not 1 person at the top of our industry respects him and literally turn the other way when see the numpty walking towards then! I think he should do us all a favour stop speaking sh:*te about what he wants and go and get a real job!! Stupid a"" punk

I wonder why so many people were running up to talk to me yesterday and the endless amount of meetings I had yesterday... Poor Short almost suffocated from a lack of oxygen because me and Team Green got to chatting about Rally and off-road routes with him. Didn't know him and the other eighty people or so were humoring me all along, thank you for this insight. Wink

Oh, also, I'm sorry it's rainy and shitty in England right now, but have a nice day! Smile

I'm getting tired of this. Go away, Troll. Just go. Man there are some bitter, jealous, hateful people on this planet.

Edit; ML, you must have smoked this troll on a track somewhere along the way.

I'm pretty sure the problem was a bad start and trying to catch Dungey.

Seemed to me as Dunge and Cole was going as fast as you possibly could and still keeping it on two wheels, Ken was trying to go a little bit faster.

You are a bit wound up, take an aspirin and have a lie down, we will put you back in your straight jacket after you have calmed down a bit.

Do you have a problem with Honda because they are not made in America? I have a Prius that was made in Japan and it never bucked me off into the face of a jump

Blaming the bike is crazy talk unless it was proven the shock let go or something (which it didn't).

Funny-thing about my lil' bro that it seems (according to a certain POMMIE Douche) must not be true...?

When I needed some direct and unavailable info on some fork uppers (upper tubes), Michael got it for me.
When I inquired about some options on internals for the same forks, Michael got it for me...AND...Bones validated the VERY SAME SOLUTION.

HMMMMMM...Dry

I wonder, who, exactly are the rest of us "sick of hearing this bull crap from"?

Well if so, I missed the joke, cause he's out. I've had enough personal attacks lately to cover me for a bit.

Wow, holy crap, it just seemed too far out there to be real.... Unbelievable...Sounds to me like he knows you personally and has some sort of vendetta.
