Looks like the only thing he really cared about was how dusty/dirty his bike got. Crazy guy... At least he's ok.

What the hell? Why didn't he turn to the right too instead of just slowing down going straight??

I was thinking the same thing, open road nothing coming (luckily) and he just decides to lock up the breaks for a sec and steer straight into the fence

I think that he was paying more attention to his left mirror than the road ahead and locked up when he realized he was going straight in a corner.

Something similar happened to me last year and it really does only take a second of inattention.

it is entirely possible that i have no idea what i'm looking at, but, is the face protecting portion of his helmet cut away to hold his camera? that shot of the front of his helmet and the fact that when he breaths heavily, the camera fogs up lead me to think that is where he has mounted the camera. i really hope someone corrects me, i have been drinking.

Nice rear brake action...

Target fixed on the spot where he thought he would go down and he did go down...


LOL... "I almost saved it"... yeah.

I was thinking the same thing, but it looked like he slammed his face into the ground when he fell, so I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and assume it got busted out.

Hrm 65, maybe if he jerked the front end towards the left it would've got leaned over in time. But all in all not too bad. Any landing you can ride away from..

that was terrible, he could have easily made that corner. Instead he grabbed way too much break, rear especially, and binned it. Typical uneducated rider.
