Landing gear malfunction

If someone doesn't have the basic skills how can they be considered a good rider. As others have said, seeing someone do that would make me not want to be riding anywhere near them.

When I learned to ride, the Instructors were crazy about picking your feet up. Whenever I see someone doing that, I can still hear a hysterical MC instructor yelling "Feet Up! Feet Up!" Mostly it's kids on scooters, but occasionally I'll see a grown-up do it. Drives me nuts...

See at least a 1/2 dozen of those type at every large function before I quit doing them , one of them went down every time and the numbers of riders have increased since I started staying away from those rolling clown fests so I can't see the the numbers of foot draggers having gone down only up .
Whats pathetic is even at a walk or slower having your feet down isn't going to keep the bike up when they choke , only thing it's gonna do is break ankles & mangle feet .
