Never saw the rear wheels spin. Looks like he m-i-g-h-t be in the market for a whole new clutch assembly. If that had happened to me, it never would have made it to you tube. I would have taken the camera away from the photographer if necessary!

I wonder how he did that? Partially depressing the clutch pedal? Or maybe a clutch already on the way out?

I've never done a burnout like that before, as I couldn't see just eating up my rear tires. What exactly does someone have to do in a case like this to do a stationary burnout? I'm guessing you have to apply the brakes, which seems to me SOMETHING has to give....

Seems to me it would be hard on the clutch and the brakes as well as the tires.

Sometimes they get weeded out of that gene pool.....

The Darwin Awards are filled with examples of this phenomenon at work.
