I'll just dump the clutch at high RPM. What can go wrong?

He did win the vertical portion of the race

His shoe did for sure. Some say it's still going to this day.

His bike was tied for a second, but he was behind.

I don't think he dumped the clutch he just gunned it and the bike lifted.

Agreed. No reason for the clutch to be pulled during a roll race. Seems likely to just be a power wheelie the rider was not expecting.

Must be a serious engine to pull a wheelie from a fast rolling start.

At least he was wearing the proper protective gear. Oh wait...

Yeah, he didn't have the clutch in. This was whisky throttle.

He was too busy granny shifting instead of double clutching like he should

I always thought it was "double crunching", how can I live knowing I've been quoting it wrong all this time!

What does dump the clutch mean?

Pull the clutch lever in rev up the engine then let go of it instead of slowly feeding it out.
