Worst Motorcyclist Ever?

Yes, but it's Texas World Speedway. Worst large track in the U.S. in the worst location to find skilled track day riders.

Rumor has it that the track is closing for shittiness.

FTFY. TWS is so god awful in every way, it should have been closed decades ago. The layout sucks, the surface is horrible, the facilities are terrible. The only thing that shocks me is that they would close it for housing, as there is so much empty land around BCS that it seems it would be cheaper to just develop some farm land that it would to clean up and redevelop land a racetrack sat on. The first time I went to TWS, I thought it was a closed, abandoned track they had just opened for a day for us.

Back to the original topic, I don't think that was dirt skills. I think that was simply a low skill rider on the track for the first time, riding a bike that really wasn't going to do him any favors on the track. The most surprising thing was that the camera guy couldn't seem to make a pass on him.
 
I feel bad for the poor guy, I mean his fear is telegraphed in those darting head checks.

That track looks unbelievably terrible, on a separate note.
 
Fucking track built on the natural home of tar snakes???

Where are the environmentalists.?? :wtf
 
btw when you can't pass the worst rider ever, what does that say about you?
 
Man that looks like novice group to me, tends to be pretty weird. Camera bike may be an instructor or friend. TWS is a fun high speed track but yeah it's ancient. Not much in the way of nice tracks in Texas. But you learn to have fun with what ya got. COTA is there now so that's a plus. Plenty of fast riders in CMRA. For track days I guess it depends on what org you run with and what group you're in. If you want a different experience run advanced group the Friday before race weekend.
 
I was going to say I have seen worse, but then I saw the end...

Don't think he has dirt skills. More like saw some supermoto, dirt riders and trying to do the same out of fear, not because of understanding of why they are doing it.
 
Why you guys gotta talk bad about me? :(
 
Reminds me of that 'counter-lean' guy.

Yeah, novice groups tend to have a wider array of track skillz. You get riders on one of their first tracks days that are relatively good riders, but then you get riders like this guy, scared and out of his element.
