The Worst Motorcycle Trend I've Ever Seen

This might be the dumbest motorcycle trend I’ve ever seen. And that’s saying something. We’ve all watched social media turn into a circus of shock content… but now we’ve got creators posting staged, exaggerated, or low-impact crashes for engagement. Not breakdowns. Not lessons. Not skill analysis. Just falling down for likes. In this video, I break down: What this “crash content” trend actually is Who’s really posting it (hint: not seasoned riders) Where it came from How short-form algorithms are fueling it Why it’s spreading And where I think this is headed I’ve been riding and building bikes for 20+ years. I’ve gone down. I’ve made mistakes. I’ve learned from them. There’s a difference between: Sharing a crash as a teaching moment and Turning incompetence into entertainment Motorcycles are already unforgiving. Pavement doesn’t care about your follower count. This trend does three dangerous things: It normalizes crashing It rewards lack of skill with attention It confuses new riders about what real risk looks like When loss of control becomes content, it shifts the culture away from skill and accountability — and toward spectacle. If you ride, this matters. Let me know in the comments: Am I overreacting… or is this trend straight-up garbage? If you want more no-BS motorcycle content about building, riding, and not turning your bike into clickbait, subscribe. And if you think I’m wrong, jump into the forum — link below. Stay upright.
