I found and crossed the line where power and gearing applied matched the available traction and all hell broke loose! Dropped 2 teeth on the rear after that shit show. 4 days at the Texas Motorplex division 4 finals and made it to the quarter finals out of a field of 30 bikes on the Sunday big show...

Congrats, Fordtech. That's an amazing photograph too. Damn, both wheels off the ground! How is that possible?

Love that shot. Just got an old yammie inline (years ago) roller started at the buddies shop. He revved it up and could see it jump off the ground. Pretty much for every action the reaction. Pounded on the ground and equally lifted off the ground is my guess. Bite is another way to go.

The photographer caught a 6 shot blast and put 4 out on Facebook. When I spoke with him and purchased two he said he'd been shooting for 28 years and that was the 6th time he'd ever caught something like it, If you search Robert Grice, Texas Motorplex NHRA South Central Division 4 or Rick Busta you can see the sequence. I can see in the first shot with the front wheel climbing my left elbow is down still wide open. Next shot I'm lifting my elbow chopping the throttle unloading the suspension lifting the rear tire. Next shot I'm elbow high and the bike is almost hoovering and the last shot it's slammed down with the front tire crushed almost to the wheel and the shortened oil pan sump less than 1/2" from the ground. If anyone reading this knows how to add those shots please do! 2 hours later while eating potato chips things got real crunchy as I lost 1/4 of an upper tooth likely fractured upon landing.

4 shot sequence.

Friggin awesome!

That is my dream bike right there

Great work Rick
