Holy shit! :wow: Almost hits the guy and then the bike too! Weird how he just crashes there though. He's like straight up and down...:wtf:

[John712]

im not sure if theres a oil spot there and hit it when he hit the brakes to avoid the rider in front of him, or he locked up the rear break, a little hard to tell.

Looks like he might of paniced about hitting the bike in front of him and locked up the rear and just washed out? :wow:

People just don't fall for no reason. Unless you're an idiot and slam on your front brake when cresting a downhill sweeping right hander then I think you will be OK Rev

Interesting.

I find it strange that hell fell over like that at Main and he wasn't even in a turn. I thought he was going to go into five and lose his front end like so many other people, including myself, I've seen. :doh:

That crash was just weird.

If you're going to have that mindset then you might as well quit riding on the street also...there's a spot on TPM's ART Basic list with your name on it. ;)

Unfortunately this is the risk we take on the Track or Street. if the were a highway trust me, you would have been ridden over by more then 1 car. in this case, he was almost hit but he wasnt, and he got up and walked away from it.

I watched a bit closer and noticed he came up on the inside of the camera guy only to realize the guy on the CBR was going way slower, looks like his bike was leaned over to the left just a hair and he over reacted and grabbed a handful of front brake to avoid tapping the rear tire of the CBR causing him immediatly lose the front end. End of diagnostic summary report.

[CBRBob]

Yep, if you are an idiot and run up behind someone that fast and DON'T know how to brake smoothly, that shit will happen to you. Than again, if you are intent on videoing the bike on the ground, you may almost accelerate into the crashed bike like the cameraman did too :(

[lateapex]

Timing is everything. A half second later and the whole left side was open. Actually there was just enough room up the left side and he would have never needed to touch the brakes.

Bike's already been down, your insurance should cover it.

[pillaka]

Pace looked kinda slow, maybe they where still on cold tires? That is definatly locking up the front. You can see the whole bike wobble a little bit right before the tire lets go.

[sonny]

Wow thats sick.
