Whiskey throttle causes wheelie crash

Ouch

WHEELIES. It takes years of practise, and hundreds of miles on the back wheel to get them right. 

But it appears this rider doesn't quite have that magic touch just yet. 

In the clip filmed near Borrego Springs, California, he can be seen overtaking his filming mate on his Husqvarna 701 Supermoto before hoicking a big'un. 

But as he approaches the balance point, a spurt of throttle sends him tipping backwards and crashing painfully to the ground. Ouch.
