Moral of the story: weaving is BS. You won't scrub in your tyres like that.
The only thing that scrubs in your tyres is driving corners.

Exactly. So on cold tires, on a cold day you do mini back & forth turns that are a little jerky by nature & break the tires loose & down you go. If it was done on a "regular" turn chances are the rider would have been able to save that slide. But going back & forth like that you have it in your mind you are just going to flick the bike back the other direction but as you start reacting in that manner the rear of the bike is sliding out the other direction. A recipe for disaster. |

So who uses the quick stop method? Several quick stop and go's in a short period of time. I hear that warms the tires pretty qiuck. I never tried it, but from what I hear it's supposed to be pretty effective  .

Sorry to hear about your buddy. I've bruised my heal pretty bad before and that hurt like hell and took a couple months to feel better. I cant imagine breaking it. 
I've had 2 sets of fresh rubber mounted at the track (One set P.P. and the other were Qualifiers) and everybody I spoke to at the track (tire rep, other riders and track employees) all said just go ride. Take it easy like your warming up a set of cold ones. 1st lap easy, 2nd lap moderate and 3rd's fair game. I know he was on the street but just a few blocks of normal riding should be enough. |

not the first story I've heard about someone pushing new Power's too hard when new. They are slick as shit when new and very sticky when properly scrubbed in.
A friend of mine dumped his RC the day after getting a set of Power's put on.
