Ray,
Really the only neon flips I've heard about have occurred while getting
crossed up in an off-camber turn at road racing speeds. Most of the
video I've seen also shows people getting sideways in the grass and they
look fine until a wheel snares a divot in the sod and pogos them over... )
this is how Erich H. rolled his if I'm not mistaken.
~Dougk
Thanking god he diddn't snare a divit when
he hooked it at Blackhawk Farms.
