Ouch man. Wow. That's why I'm always scared to even try wheelies. How's your friend? Looks like he walked away without much of a scratch. But, I'm sure with all the adrenaline pumping I'm sure he wouldn't have noticed even if he was hurt. Def could have ended worse. Man, I cringed watching that. I hope your friend is alright and the bike is repairable.
His back is basically all rash and some on his hands. He was really lucky that road was just paved recently, it used to be tar chipped
Bummer, if he only had your jacket on to go along with the helmet. Why is it the riders doin' all the wheelies on public roads into oncoming traffic don't see the value in a good riding jacket for protection is beyond me. After I made hamburger out of my arms and hands growing up and breaking bones on different bikes throughout my life, it did not take long to understand the importance of good riding gear to help limit body damage as much possible.

Exactly. He is lucky. Its not fun picking gravel out of your infected arms for a month afterwards either. Had he tried that a tad later on he or the bike could have slid right under that oncoming car. I've seen it happen and watched two people on bikes get killed right in front of me. Wear gear and ride safe around other cars or take it to the track or stunt area.

damn, he gave it gas all the way through. He is lucky to just have rashes without a jacket. That front wheel looked cracked...

Lucky indeed. At least he's able to smile about it which is always a good sign. Hope he will be back on two wheels soon!
