This week on MCrider we look at 3 different ways you can die on a motorcycle. Don't make these mistakes, focus on Road Skills and Road Strategy to stay out of these situations
Forum Discussion for the video
I want to address a few comments I have seen on YouTube from this video.
From Will: “Another “you're gonna die” vid. 🤦‍♂️”
In response to Will from Andre: “Yes another one, his videos really do discourage new wannabe riders”
Let me explain why I do these types of videos.
First, they are effective. Because the title and the thumbnail have a sensational element to it, it draws people in who might not otherwise listen. The other videos similar to this are the highest-ranking MCrider videos in numbers of views.

5 ways to die on a motorcycle
Even though the thumbnail and title might encourage clicks because of the sensationalism, what is contained in the video is sound motorcycling principals that save lives. If I wanted to just get clicks I would release real life, gruesome, crash videos all the time. Those types of videos always rank the highest.
But, MCrider is not just about getting clicks…it is about developing motorcyclists.
So my response to Andre's comment…”Yes another one, his videos really do discourage new wannabe riders”
He is correct. If a rider is going to ride impaired, not develop their road skills and not develop their road strategy…I do want to discourage that rider.
Ride well friends!
