Yeah, he posted up the same vid, but in slo-mo and you can see the front tire skipping over the rippled pavement, leading to the loss of traction. At least that's my assessment. I hope they fix that place up soon.

Wow that sucks, you can see the front just skipping and washing out. What sucks even more is it ended up taking another rider out too.

Hope they are alright, looked like his arm was hurting when he walked away.

I've seen many people lowside there that same way so bad pavement or not that might have still happened. Granted the condition of the track didn't help and the rider might have been able to save it on good pavement and the rider that hit him may have been able to avoid rolling over his arm or been able to take a different line

I've seen riders fall there when the pavement was brand new, old cement patches and now and in the wet and dry too. Prime sport for lack of traction, like turn one at VIR north. Nature of the beast.
