he seemed real aggresive into hi other turns. Maybe just too hot. he had a ton of lean angle.

 

Possibly high centered on his peg... i.e. too much lean angle.:dunno

 

Lowside from the front.. Looks like he held onto the brakes too long, or left the bike on a trailing throttle.
Also looked like a track newbie to me. Didn't look that confident, and he wasn't really leaning it that far when he fell off.

But then again what do I know..:dunno

 

Too much trail braking. You can see he makes a long blackie just before loosing the front.

 

+1 on the front brake theory.

looks like he locked up the front brakes before he was leaned all the way over and the bike just fell right over.

ive done that in the dirt before, with my dirt bike

 

It does look like his peg hit the ground. Dunno.

 

:corn

 

If you pause it exactly at 1:04 you can see the tire mark begins before the peg scrapes so I dont think he tripoded the bike. Threre is also a discoloration in the pavement exactly where the slide starts. Im guessing ( this is purely a guess as I dont know his weight the tires he was using or the suspension setup) that he had his preload a tad on the soft side came in and banked it fairly hard compressing the front suspension entirely and then hit the pavement ripple (guessing its a ripple because of the asphalt color change, could be a track repair too) causing the front to lowside.

My .02

 

pay close attention to the black marking right as he is going down coming from the front tire.
seems like he locked it up and lost it

 

It could easily be a compination af the 3. Heavy trail braking, packed out suspension, and track imperfections. I definitely dont think he was going in too hot though he still had available lean angle but once again I dont know what tires he is on or what shape they are in.

 

not one to judge but he braked hard into the corner and hit the gas too early and too hard

 

It looks to me like he over braked for the corner, entered too slow and was adding throttle while still steering the bike in and lost the front. Def wasn't caused by the peg, he lost the front first.

 

I'm with "fiveoh" on this one.

I had a similar situation at Streets of Willow, front started to push but I was able to save it by rolling on the throttle quickly but carefully...

 

front washed. pegs hit. he fell off.

 

I have a silly question.

Do you HAVE to trailbrake to go fast? Or do just do it when you are going in too hot.

 

You know, I hear people talk all the time about trail braking being a defensive or offensive maneuver and not for fast times. If you come ride with me and can get all of your braking done before turning in, I will pass you :fact :lol

I just got passed twice tonight because I wasn't going fast enough to have to trail brake harder. I was still braking, but not hard enough.

 

easy to see ,grabbed too much front brake

 

The concensus here at work with my buddies is "too much gas in the turn." Slowed down too much and then got greedy with the throttle in the turn.

And of course, gravity. That always helps people fall. :lol

too much gas ???? wtf watch it again , plain to see he tucked the front . garbbed too much front brake cuase he was entering the turn too fast for his ability .

 

Well from this i can't say anything at the moment. Might be he hit the ground
