What's a " tank slapper " ? Options

[Trekkor]

I've heard people say it and I've read it.
Something to do with a/x or track driving, I think.

A hard or abrupt turn without control that causes the fuel to slap inside the tank? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif)

Watch the guy in the first vid. His inner thighs are slapping the tank......other more precious parts of your anatomy can become involved also....since your feet come off the pegs (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/w00t.gif) That's actually more of a power wobble.

A good slapper gets going with the back end bouncing up off the ground and landing off center....like over whoops.
The side to side bounce gets progressively worse (the death dance) till the bike spits you off.



The bitter end usually comes in the from of a "high side". You can really get some distance & elevation if you do it just right (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif) The more d & e you get (since you try to maintain your death grip on the bars), the more time you have to get your hands out in front of you....otherwise you do a "face plant".

A buddy that had a 400 RM was black & blue starting at one knee 180 degs thru the crotch to the other knee.

Thas all I learnt in 3-4 years of dirt bikin'. Stopped before I kilt meself.
