Every rider thinks they’re prepared—until they’re not. I’ve watched over 8,000 crash videos and compiled the most typical 600 incidents into one critical guide. For four years, I’ve studied motorcycle crash stats, road-tested techniques, and spoken with countless riders to create Nebachiv—a project designed to give new riders accelerated motorcycle wisdom, ensuring you ride smarter, safer, and longer.
Why I Created project Nebachiv
Motorcycles have been my passion for as long as I can remember, but this project was born out of tragedy.
My friend Andrii Vasheko, a champion amateur racer and seasoned motorcycle instructor, lost his life in what can only be described as a “typical crash.” If someone as skilled as Andrii could fall victim, what hope did inexperienced riders have?
The reality hit me hard: no one was tracking this data, at least not in Ukraine. No one was teaching riders how and why crashes happen.
Looking back at my first seasons, I realized how I was lucky. The only thing that saved me was an alert driver in the other car, not my knowledge or preparation.
That’s why I created Nebachiv: to teach someone young and stupid as I was 17 years ago.
What project Nebachiv is about
Nebachiv is an educational project with one mission: to make riding safer for everyone by speaking about a typical and specific dangers that every expirienced rider with 10+ years knows but new riders don’t.
Here’s how we do it:
- Crash Analysis:
- Over 8,000 crash videos reviewed and categorized by type and location.
- Learn how crashes happen and how to avoid them.
- Skills & Strategy:
- Develop technical skills to escape danger.
- Adopt a strategic mindset to stay ahead of risks.
- Rider Psychology:
- Understand the instincts that cause even experienced riders to fail.
- Rewire your habits for success.
- Motorcycle Culture:
- Explore everything from street riding to motorsports to shape your journey.
