I just don't know WHY he got a rep as a 'hot dog' !!!!

Maybe it was because he kept riding after the front wheel came off ?

The MSF instructor was most emphatic about a bike not lifting the rear
wheel when you grabbed too much front brake. Either way, the fear of
locking the front wheel or launching myself over the bars is holding
me back from mastering the emergency stop.

That was a very impressive display indeed.
