Didn't look like he touched it. | ||

My vote is for sand/gravel/etc. that made him lose the front end. Overall it looked like a good crew of riders, riding just fast enough to be fun, mebbe 6/10ths. Most of them were taking the same lines- on a road like that (out west? Sandy landscape?), I'd try to set my lines where car tires had hopefully dispersed the road funk. Lucky dude fo sho. Lord knows I've ran a LOT faster than that, back in tha day...  | ||

What the hell happened there? | ||

At first I thought he was trying to be cute and reach down to touch the ground but crashed. But it did look like he started to slide a bit right before he reached down. | ||

Around the 24 sec mark it looked like maybe he squeezed the front brake a bit too much and the front started to tuck then panic and survival started to set in. I'm thinking there was a decreasing radius involved there | ||

Correction viewed in full screen he was never on the front brake | ||

Not sure if this is the cause or effect, but at the :04 and :24 mark you can hear scraping as well as a dust trail from his right footpeg touching down well before he ever looks to be out of control. Perhaps his peg didn't fold up like it should have? | ||

Regardless of the cause, his reaction was wrong and nearly unnatural. easy to be a monday morning quarterback, but I can't help but wonder how that would have turned out if he didn't chop the throttle. | ||
