(11,065 posts)Damn, I would never have noticed that, and I had to watch it right there several times before I saw the tire rolling and bouncing away. But I also went back to the point where they're all stopped on the highway right before the SUV took off and though you can't really see anything of the SUV other than the roof there does appear to be quite a number of bikers right up close to the passenger side I didn't notice before... I think I see a couple of helmeted heads right up against the car where they'd be if they were standing, but there's quite a group there.
I suppose the tire could have been damaged running over the bikes, but I would think if that was it wouldn't the damage more likely be a shredding or gashing that would have flattened the tire right away rather than a small puncture that would have held enough air for such a long time until the tire flew off? I don't know. I think I'm more convinced that it was deliberately punctured with that group so close up to the passenger side. Even if they didn't do it they had to have been shouting or pounding on the car or something on that side or why be right up against it like that, and that's certainly much more intimidating that what it looks like on the driver's side with most of the bikes further away and the bikers just sitting on their bikes. It's so far away from where it was filmed though that it's just so hard to tell what's happening. Damn frustrating, that.
