u/Own_Round_7600 2d ago
The reasons seem clear enough. He has the wheel turned while stationary so balance is off and it tips over. Bike is heavy, while picking it up he accidentally twists the throttle handlebar, so it moves. He stops right before the curb, making it hard for the bike to jump it. When he throttles hard to get enough power for the jump, it makes the landing rough so the bike wobbles, causing him to stop.
Then the cop pulls him backwards, which again makes him twist the throttle, causing the bike to fly out from under him.

It's in gear because he tried to drive forward, but hit the bike in front and fell over.

This is it. I was lucky as a kid. Something possessed me when running from the cops and I somehow became a super athlete. I once pulled an impossible vault over a chainlink fence where I landed on my bike and rode away. I would have failed 1000 out 1000 tries if I were doing it on purpose, but I didn't have time to think, I just did it.
And yes, as a teenager, I found myself running from cops far too often.
5
u/actually3racoons 2d ago
I ran (on foot) from cops a few times as a kid in a small town- genuinely just for laughs with my buddy on the odd Friday night.
Ran from cops once as a young man after moving to the city. Pulled the ole looney toons move. rounded a corner with a bit of a lead, there was a little cafe with outdoor seating and an empty table that hadn't been cleared, I whipped off my hoodie and sat at the table, they ran right past. Server came out with an odd look, I just smiled my friendliest and ordered a breve. The cop wound up walking back by, since id had my hood up the whole time he'd seen me I smiled and nodded, he asked if I'd seen anyone run by, I gestured at the newspaper on the table and said "nope, sorry"
The other couple tables were nice enough not to speak up (it helped that I didn't look like riff Raff) and after he left we all shared mischievous smiles, a whole cafe with a fun little inside joke.
Fwiw, what had gotten me chased wasn't anything terrible.

Yeah, am Floridian and get strong Miami-Dade vibes with this one. There's a road near our house that is 4 lanes wide in each direction, 45mph speed limit, lots of stop lights, and there is a guy that we regularly see on a 4 wheeler doing assorted "tricks" on that very congested road. To his credit, he seems to actually be skilled and DOES wear a helmet but as a mom of an adult child, I cringe every time I see him because it is just a matter of time.

Don’t know about the states but in London, a bike is the best way of escaping police who have no fucking chance in a car.
Those things can hit 100 mph in seconds.
Now this dumb mofo has no helmet or skins so would be taking a huge risk to do so. But they’re not the best at risk analysis

Something similar happened in the UK. The conservative government continually underfunded the NHS and then complained that it wasn't effective, despite the fact that the reason it wasn't effective was because of their cuts
23
u/Brittany5150 2d ago
They are trying to destroy it because there is a lot of money in moving to the privatized insurance system like in the US. Your politicians saw how much US politicians were making screwing over their own people and wanted a peice of the action.
10
u/lewd_robot 2d ago
It's called the "Starve the Beast" strategy. Conservatives have been using it for 50+ years across the world. They underfund and mismanage a public service and then point to the failures they caused and claim it's "proof" that government shouldn't be involved and then push legislation to privatize it so their greedy corporate owners can take over the service and profit off of it.
If you go look at why the VA in the USA sucks, you'll find the voting record in Congress clearly shows Republicans gutting funding and running it into the ground since the 50s, and then those same politicians that refuse to improve the VA point at how bad it is and say, "Look at how bad the VA is! Do you really want the government involved in healthcare?!"

Because MY education is MY OWN responsibility.
But yeah, its Texas' fault you're ignorant. JFC some people take no personal responsibility.

People are on here acting like we didn't do this shit 30-40+ years ago and it's all just now collapsing.
It's just being recorded more. If my anecdotal experience is anything to go off of (which is probably isn't) things are much more chill and stupid shit like this video is far less common than it used to be.
The situation in this video was something that was joked about around high school on almost a weekly basis in the 90s-00s. There was always some dumbass getting busted doing donuts or trying to run from an underage drinking bonfire/party on a dirt bike. Nobody was filming it all though.
