Haha, I lol at my wrecks. My homie George had both shoulders replaced after a 80mph wheelie fail. That's not as funny but we giggle sometimes.
The first vid happened to me minus the cliff. I was kickin it on my Yamaha C3, its low to the ground, ground touched bike in a turn, I touched ground, curb stops me and bike...

Well one needs to ride safe. The problem with the scooters is the stock OEM tires are pretty much crap to start with, no traction and downright dangerous when wet. The scooters tend to have poor suspension systems too. Thus with the frame flex, poor tires, crummy suspension it is unsafe to push them in the turns. The guy in the video of the first post may have had bad tires lose their grip, but then maybe there was dirt scattered on the turn too, thus it was super slippery to start with. Of course with the side stand and center stand levers protruding out of the left side, those could have touched the pavement leading to the spin out too.
Worse was the guy could have gone over the top of the guard rail. I don't know how far it is to the bottom, but it would hurt a lot to find out about it the hard way though.

Yeah, It looks like the tires just couldn't grip in that hard lean  |

Old video but wanted to share Be careful out there What a complete idiot... Excessive speed, improper safety attire and a scooter that isn't designed for racing on. Bet he won't do that again in a hurry! |

If you watch in the first video's slow-mo replay carefully, you'll notice the bike looses traction right as he touches his half-naked foot to the street. Just the tinest of push by his foot hitting at high speed, and it's the same as if the kickstand had touched down. With the cameras being set up the way they were, you can tell they were trying to show off, and this one rider at least paid the price.

Also if you notice in the slow motion he taps the brake in the turn, really bad move there, foot down and breaking while in full lean as well as trying to turn into turn instead of counter steering. This is why no matter how fun it may seem at the time showing off is a bad idea.
