    On National Geographic Channel "Crash Science" Motorcycles. Focuses upon closed course race track crashes.

    The show breaks down the physics of not only riding, but how the bike is working under stress and eventual, loss of traction. Hits on new technology like traction control as well. Good interviews with racers and race team gurus alike.

    Awesome footage that none of us likes to see, but can make us better riders, the more we understand our machines and their limitations.:tea:

    If you get a chance check it out. You seem pretty technical a rider etc.. so it might not teach you much, but how the rider's viewed the unfolding situation is very compelling.
