I've never done a wheelie in a car but I learned the lesson of if you do one make sure the wheel comes down straight. I went head over heels on a bike when I was young and learned from it

Cool--never saw that one. Yeah that was really bad. Holy cow. He had the wheel turned 180 degrees (1/2 a full turn).

I guess when you're looking up at the sky it can screw with your sense of position

It's cool to see he had it fixed. Im sure it was expensive as hell with how extensive the damage looked.

Unless im blind I watched the wreck video about 10 times and each time the wheels are straight when he touches down. Then all hell breaks loose.

No pit video shows different but I wonder if the steering didnt break on launch

Yea you're blind :crazy:...
the wheel is cocked to the right here, which matches his hand as well.
Steering didn't break. (this is on the way down right before the car turned hard) First screenshot you're looking at the back of the tire, no rim at all.
