Looks like dude went to turn a lil more for the corner or decided to hit the apex a lil harder without being in the right position on the bike, sitting too high an forward. You see him lean an turn the front wheel in doesnt feel good to him an he pulls it back an it throws his balance off an lowslides it. Atleast that's what I'm seeing
This is what happens in Mullholland and the street... The street is very very dirty, and the asphalt y very old. Check out ``Pujada Cala San Vicente´´ and see how we ride in ibiza (Spain) ;)
you can tell easly it's a noob rider. 1 - didnt hang off when he should. This is common with rookie drivers afraid of falling or something (besides he has knee sliders!) 2 - hes sitting to close to gas tank when he sould've been sitting closer to tail, to help weight distribution. 3 - for some reason he turns the steering while cornering, making the front tire loose contact surface with road. Blame the bike all you want but if he did these 3 steps right he wouldnt had crashed.
@soundsliketornado Correct me if im wrong (I've been only riding for half a year), but I thought you were supposed to sit close to the tank, so that you can hug it with your legs? or do you mean sit farther back, and still hug the tank.
bad body position causes bikes to lie down too much in bends, all too common in these vids... surprised more people don't realise that you can gain a mechanical advantage by hanging off...
You see that, just one little tiny turn made that crash. Wow, that little mistake can make a difference. Making me think twice about getting a Class M.
Also look at his body position. Coming into the turn, he's leaning over the top of his tank instead of "kissing the inside mirror". He probably panicked because he didn't think he could make that corner with the speed he was carrying. However, if he had his body position right, the bike wouldn't have needed to lean so far, and he could have carried throttle through the turn.

However, if he had his body position right, the bike wouldn't have needed to lean so far, and he could have carried throttle through the turn.
You can see that as well as closing on the throttle while leaning, (a terrible idea) he didn't counter steer at the last moment (about 0:15) but rather turned toward the curve at the last moment. this mad the front of his tire go towards the ground and made him actually fall, it's a newbie mistake some make because counter steering is counter intuitive.
Hah you can see in the still picture that he is turning the bars left in a left corner. I wonder how long he has survived without crashing doing that dumb shit. I just bought a 2009 R6 a few days ago and I LOVE it!!
This is not an R6 it sounds more like a 125 motor, and also the other guy who stops in front of him has clearly a 125, look at the the size of the wheel, i guess he probably doesnt know how to take a curve, he moves the body to his right while taking a left curve and even if sounds ironic the weight of your body must be on the curve direction and measure the high with your knee.
To me it looked like he backed off the throttle in the turn (in a lean).. there for upsetting the balance of the bikes suspension causing the weight bias to over load the front tire.. Low side... wall la ;-)
he starts turning the handlebar into the turn in the middle of the curve for no apparent reason (panic due to too much leaning?), especially at a moment where the bike has a very large lean angle (thus very little traction) which upsets the bike's balance, loss of traction at the rear wheel and lowsiding.
ya, pretty much... he wasn't countersteering as he should've been. this then leads to upsetting the suspension on the bike, and upsetting his line through the corner. He was unable to correct, and might have let off the throttle.
All things require traction. acceleration, braking, cornering, etc. he most likely applied to much brake in the corner along with unstable lean/body position that he went down. Sucks too, cause that was a nice bike.
he simply overloaded the front tire by closing the throttle completely while leaning quite much. Plus he never did any hanging of, so he put even more load on the front tire. there is a time even the best tire gives up. closing throttle completely is a common mistake on race circuits, mostly performed by newbies. you tend to keep that in mind after your first lowside.
@Vollhirni I dont agree mate, I reckon he gave it a little front brake, no need to knee down at that lean, there wasnt a huge ease off throttle either, maybe shit tyres or debris on the road, ride safe
@2wheelsteve easy: pause the video at 0:33 or just look at the last still at the end of the video...no finger on the lever at the very moment where his front tire gives in. You would be very surprised if you actually experienced yourself what kind of difference it makes if you have warm or cold tires. Not to speak from the *huge*(!) difference it makes to do hanging off or not. The tarmac on this section seems to be quite shitty, thus all those crashes here, nevertheless he could have avoided it
@Vollhirni Yeah, leaning off gives your bike more ground clearance but doesnt improve grip by shifting the weight over means the bike is more upright, Doug Henry never leant off the bike and won plenty though having said that there are too many variables to come up with a true which is better answer ;-), smooth tarmac area probably but I would be pretty pissed off if I dropped it on that lean,lets just agree the guy fucked it haha
@carfashion2 Yeah I think he had a finger on the front brake looking at it again, I dont think he caved in as bikes dont normally do that especially riding normal on a newish bike, his toes probably caved in wearing training shoes!!!
Looks like he leant too far and pulled the handlebars a little too far. I'm not sure if his pull on the handlebars was loss of traction or his own mistake. You can see it pull significantly as he goes down.
Improper body position. He should have been hanging more off the bike to achieve more traction by not over leaning the bike. Turning the handle bar while the bike was already that low was the last straw. He MIGHT have been able to get through the turn if it weren't for the handle bar turning which killed any bit traction he had left on his front tire. IMO
i think in corrected body position should of leaned off more and he counter steered half way through the corner not a good idea he should took all weight off the handle bars really.
Is this the same guy that failed to navigate the turn correctly in another one of your videos? He careens right into the guardrail but doesn't fall off the bike, instead coming to a stop and then he looks around like it's the bike's fault. It looks like the same bike.
he probobly thinks hes riding a bicycle LOL....its clearly he turned his handlebars to the left thinking its the correct way to do it....i feel bad for him but seriously he needs to go to MSF class again
"If you have any insight into why this rider went down"
As stated earlier, this is clearly a case of steering the wrong direction into a turn. Immediately before he loses grip he steers to the left, when he should have been counter-steering to the right to execute a left turn.
I think the problen wasn´t about front tyre breaking, but fron tyre lean angle sudden change, so the tyre lost grip as he tried to overturn the front tyre to left while leaning the bike
Many are caught out by the significant change in radius of the curve as it tightens before the lookout. As far as the running shoe as protective footwear controversy goes, the problem is that such shoes are easily knocked of in a minor spill. Any boots or shoes you can take off without undoing laces won't do.
I've watched a lot of the lowsides on Mulholland on here and I'm at a loss to explain most of them. Being from the east coast, though, I know that if I were on that road I would be intimidated by the amount of sandy loose earth around, and I wonder if that isn't a factor in some of them, if not necessarily this one. If I had to hazard a guess, -something- loaded up the front, and the engine sounds like it's off throttle the entire turn, so maybe just the mistake of coasting at that lean did it.
@XH1927 seems like a pretty balanced analysis. for once, someone has their head screwed on in the comments section rather than just spouting off any old rubbish. lol. gj
@purklefluff Heh, thank you for the compliment. Unlike most I don't watch these out of sadism or schadenfreude, I actually am interested in analyzing what made people go down, both out of academic interest, and to improve my own riding.
@ghostlyproductionz would you rather be retarded or without a leg hmmmm that's the dilema you're facing. Gear aren't expensive, as you can see he can afford that expensive ass bike bag and that thing is useless. Most people ride for the cool factor (SQUIDS) and not think about important things like LEARNING HOW TO RIDE before going to canyons lol
looking at the position of the front wheel, it is turning into the turn as opposed to away from the turn counter-steering. If the subject was actually count-steering this probably would not have happened.
I've done more than see it fuck face, I've experienced it... Unlike you brother I don't just comment on youtube vids about shit I don't understand. so hush now child, the adults are talking
At exactly 0:04 he runs the line really wide towards the dirt could have possibly pick up dirt or rocks in the tire and then coming into the turn just lost all tire grip.
He may have been charging the turn. When he got into the turn he then may have felt anxious and tensed up on the bars. He got leaned over a little much for the reduced traction caused by the slick of oil he ran over earlier. He did not turn the wheel in -- the slippage caused that. It would have helped if he hung off the bike to keep it more upright and got on the throttle sooner, or at least not let off as much as he did. That, or his untied shoelace got caught under the tire ... bam!
He crashed because he lost traction on the front wheel (he did not "wrench" the wheel left). The question is, why did he lose traction? My guess is that it was due to high lean angle and decelleration braking from the engine pushing the front harder. Athletic shoes on a sport bike tell me that he's not that experienced of a rider.
Well all I can figure is that the shoe happend to make contact with the asphalt the same time that the peg feeler or a fairing stay made contact and caught him off guard (scared him), hince the sound variation when he folds the front wheel and the sudden directional change in the tire slows front down ever so slightly and allows the rear to break looseand come around, thus infact causing the reoccuring act of the new craze called "Low Sliding"
first of all the first person in the group always gets a bit more nervous than the ones following cos hes leading
second judging by the fact he doesn't use much gear on a bike it means he never experienced a good fall
and third ill agree with @reggaerocket on the leaning part dude its an uphill u dont need to lean that much plus the uphill slows u down more than a downhill and the balance off the bike goes a bit on the bk so his position was forced down by gravity and wrong stance made him fall
#1. the bike was leaned too far over, so the chassis touched the road. notice a spec of 'dust' from near his shoe a millisecond BEFORE he twists the steering left.
#2 - a change in texture on the road triggered the whole mishap, but it had such a disastrous effect BECAUSE the bike was leaned too FAR. There was no room for error!
#3 - Bad rider position, forcing him to lean the bike too much. His head and body shoulda been on the other side of the tank. (this is the REAL cause).
Whenever I watch these videos I try to figure out what they did, so I don't do it. Not sure what he did but looked like he somehow cranked the handle bars mid turn and countersteering threw the physics outta wack.
If you watch the just before he went down, he turned inward instead of countersteering. This caused him to loose traction and lowside. He should have kept pushing the bar forward with his left hand. If he did, Im sure the tires would have stuck.
@seanzoz The video clearly shows exactly why boots are important. Maybe it would seem silly on a different video but this is an object lesson in why sneakers don't cut it.
@realityhack shoes don't cut it? this isn't professional racing... shoes are shoes and they 'cut it' just fine... if they were tied tighter he wouldn't have lost the one. Boots are more 'ideal' of course but that is all... Go to a bike night in Miami, New York, or LA and count how many 'boots' you see... besides i don't know if you noticed but the guy and his foot were fine in this 'object lesson'... to bad he had to put is shoe back on, what a shame...
I Think, it were his first km's, when he comes in too the turn he janks his steer to the left. You must only shift your weight too the left! AND DO NOT STEER IN A CORNER! Maybe it is smart to buy yourself a steering demper. So you have shift all your weight to the right. When doing that there wil be no problem anymore!
when you see the slow motion you can see a bitumen part or something like that....thats the reason

@ghostlyproductionz would you rather be retarded or without a leg hmmmm that's the dilema you're facing. Gear aren't expensive, as you can see he can afford that expensive ass bike bag and that thing is useless. Most people ride for the cool factor (SQUIDS) and not think about important things like LEARNING HOW TO RIDE before going to canyons lol

the guy try to wrestle handle bar and lost the front instead of counter steering and lean.
m3toz4 1 year ago
@m3toz4 I agree. You can see him force the bars hard left just before he went down. Thats called counter-counter steering. oops
MagnifishitBrap 1 year ago
@m3toz4 Totally agree also:
looking at the position of the front wheel, it is turning into the turn as opposed to away from the turn counter-steering. If the subject was actually count-steering this probably would not have happened.

@0:05. His body is leaned to the outside of the curve relative to bike. He leans the bike more to compensate. Traction lost and crash.

He broke too hard on the front tire after he had leaned in. He tucked the front. That is why his front tilts in at 0:40

At exactly 0:04 he runs the line really wide towards the dirt could have possibly pick up dirt or rocks in the tire and then coming into the turn just lost all tire grip.
magnum5az 1 year ago
He may have been charging the turn. When he got into the turn he then may have felt anxious and tensed up on the bars. He got leaned over a little much for the reduced traction caused by the slick of oil he ran over earlier. He did not turn the wheel in -- the slippage caused that. It would have helped if he hung off the bike to keep it more upright and got on the throttle sooner, or at least not let off as much as he did. That, or his untied shoelace got caught under the tire ... bam!

Front wheel lost traction. To flat through the corner + add a little sand or dirt et voilà... (IMO)

Turned the front wheel didnt he
jock150 1 year ago
He crashed because he lost traction on the front wheel (he did not "wrench" the wheel left). The question is, why did he lose traction? My guess is that it was due to high lean angle and decelleration braking from the engine pushing the front harder. Athletic shoes on a sport bike tell me that he's not that experienced of a rider.

wow wrong side of tank to lean on! deffinatly beginner!
allofUSAunite 1 year ago
Well all I can figure is that the shoe happend to make contact with the asphalt the same time that the peg feeler or a fairing stay made contact and caught him off guard (scared him), hince the sound variation when he folds the front wheel and the sudden directional change in the tire slows front down ever so slightly and allows the rear to break looseand come around, thus infact causing the reoccuring act of the new craze called "Low Sliding"

god damn he was lucky! that shoe almost fall down into canyon!!
tooumas 1 year ago
first of all the first person in the group always gets a bit more nervous than the ones following cos hes leading
second judging by the fact he doesn't use much gear on a bike it means he never experienced a good fall
and third ill agree with @reggaerocket on the leaning part dude its an uphill u dont need to lean that much plus the uphill slows u down more than a downhill and the balance off the bike goes a bit on the bk so his position was forced down by gravity and wrong stance made him fall
MrLatrion 1 year ago
3 Reasons
#1. the bike was leaned too far over, so the chassis touched the road. notice a spec of 'dust' from near his shoe a millisecond BEFORE he twists the steering left.
#2 - a change in texture on the road triggered the whole mishap, but it had such a disastrous effect BECAUSE the bike was leaned too FAR. There was no room for error!
#3 - Bad rider position, forcing him to lean the bike too much. His head and body shoulda been on the other side of the tank. (this is the REAL cause).

easy, front tire loses grip, he could'nt turn, he tries to turn the bars, and falls...

he would have been fine if he had countersteered
EvelcyclopS 1 year ago
Whenever I watch these videos I try to figure out what they did, so I don't do it. Not sure what he did but looked like he somehow cranked the handle bars mid turn and countersteering threw the physics outta wack.

crazedfarmer 1 year ago
all these people saying he steered into the corner are thick pricks,
when the front folds the wheel almost always does that! if it was still gripping and he steered into the bend the bike would try and stand up
mark675 1 year ago
If you watch the just before he went down, he turned inward instead of countersteering. This caused him to loose traction and lowside. He should have kept pushing the bar forward with his left hand. If he did, Im sure the tires would have stuck.

@seanzoz The video clearly shows exactly why boots are important. Maybe it would seem silly on a different video but this is an object lesson in why sneakers don't cut it.
realityhack 1 year ago
@realityhack shoes don't cut it? this isn't professional racing... shoes are shoes and they 'cut it' just fine... if they were tied tighter he wouldn't have lost the one. Boots are more 'ideal' of course but that is all... Go to a bike night in Miami, New York, or LA and count how many 'boots' you see... besides i don't know if you noticed but the guy and his foot were fine in this 'object lesson'... to bad he had to put is shoe back on, what a shame...

I Think, it were his first km's, when he comes in too the turn he janks his steer to the left. You must only shift your weight too the left! AND DO NOT STEER IN A CORNER! Maybe it is smart to buy yourself a steering demper. So you have shift all your weight to the right. When doing that there wil be no problem anymore!
