Tank slapper, when your steering goes all over the place and you're winding left and right really quickley - too quickley to control!

These are Tank Slappers.

The 1st was in a race and the 2nd is due to his own fault after pulling a wheelie.

I have seen the whole feature on that 2nd clip before. The irony is leading up to it the guy does a ton of textbook faultless wheelies, all on completely deserted roads - unfortunately for him the place where he lost it somebody had left an illegally parked car.

You can see the wheel is clearly crossed up when he sets it down.

the guy was left in a shit state - he was in hospital for months if i remeber correctly. He made a full recovery mind and went out and bought another blade. He is deaf as well (not from the accident)

Yeh I remember watching this one, he always rides with a buddy for some reason but cant remember why. If I remember rightly, his sister talks you through what happened.
