EBR Danny Eslick

[netty2424]

To give credit where it's due, I saw this video on 07xb12Ss facebook page, thought I would share it here as I don't think he posts much here anymore. This may have already been posted, not sure, but either way this was an effing awesome battle! Eslick rode the piss out of that 1190! And it proves many things, but some of the obvious are:

1. All of the technology in the world doesn't necessarily make you a better racer, as pointed out on by Scott Russell!
2. 1190's are in their sweet spot in the turns, as Eslick made Talyor look foolish in the corners!
3. I4's are fast in straight lines, lol! 1190 was lacking serious top end next to that GXSR1000!
4. EBR and May/Eslick are starting to figure some shit out!
5. It made me want to go out and ride!

Yeah Buddy!!!
There were a few pucker moments there under hard braking, oh but ERB brakes are crap right...
Passing in a turn is either about late brake entry or drive on the way out, both Danny has got down.
I'm pretty sure we'll be seeing a few new sponsors on the 99 and 69 next yr.
Lets see what can happen with a little more budget for dev time!!!!

YEAH BUDDY!!! GET IT!!!

It's just a shame he didn't race in Sundays race and also a shame that Geoff May was running a rain front and ate it up half way thru the race to give up that #1 spot he was holding onto.

One of the few reasons i want tv. God that gets me pumped seeing Eslick rape in the corners!

 

[XRorXB]

I can't even imagine how wild of a ride that is!

 

[Rhino1]

Wow! Reminds me of the old Edward/Corser battles! Good stuff!!!

 

[vaxb12r]

YES!!! That is what I like to see! sadly I had to miss watching this, thanks for putting it up here.[up]

 

[StreetGliderX]

i love how it told the EBR bikes did it all with no electronic aids, all about the rider and raw racing!

 

[Red93stang]

That was fun just sitting on the couch watching! I was glued to the TV! Loved listening to Scott and Greg saying "Ooooohhhh look at that EBR machine dive down into those corners"

 

[CrazyTexan]

That was awesome. I want TV For this reason too.

Awesome race. I was there the entire weekend doing Tire Control Marshal. Got assigned to a section of hot pit that included the EBR team and Foremost Larry Pegram. If you ever get the chance to volunteer, go for it!
During Fan Walk

In the down time I started BS'g with the EBR team and Michael Kilpatrick. He later gave me a tour of the rig and got a photo op with Danny

[netty2424]

Very cool! [up]

 

[Rhino1]

Anyone else think of Gobert or Garry McCoy when they watch Eslick masterfully drift that bike?? Holy crap--the more I see that clip, the more genius I see in that riding!

 

[ct1200]

Genius or or Balls?
Danny is just a bin it or win it type of racer
You never know where the edge is till your toes touch it

Geoff is good but doesn't push many limits very often

Geoff is good but doesn't push many limits very often

I agree, i think he plays it to safe. But im surprised by how safe he plays it he still does good.
