looking at the earlier bends, even when you got youself in about the right place on the track and turned in when the instructor did, you did seem to turn very 'flat', like too much to soon rather than scribing a convex arc like the insructor did. Result, you were still apexing too early. I've got a feeling you weren't looking far enough in front a certain times.
But I can't help feeling the principles weren't explained well enough before hand. Try California Superbike school next time maybe?
I fucking hate when Youtube removes the audio in the videos. This is one of the few videos I've watched with Audio Swap where the music actually fits the video remarkably well.
Well, that was pretty much the result of using rear brakes when turning. Not smart. The Vtech is not good for racing. Too jumpy and doesn't let you have smooth rides or turns. But you will enjoy it, because it is comfortable.
Couldn't really tell how fast you were going but it looked like you had time to react knowing you were going into the grass? Why didn't you straighten out your front wheel and try to ride in a straight path?
Hitting grass on a bike SUCKS!!!! I know first hand. Glad your ok, i love seeing th ebike fall then just your legs. Made me go "OOOO Damn!" Thanks for sharing
Get yourself a bike - plenty of people use them for everyday road use and are accident free. Track days are a fun part of riding but not everyone goes for them, mainly because of the inherent risk.
I really can't stand riding set to music. I never ride with music because the sound of the engine is all the music i need to hear.

if you watch in slo-mo (repeatedly clicking pause/play will do) there's a frame of baseball at 2:01. random.

Don't knee pads mitigate knee damage, or I guess it was a twisting effect that did it in.

Was that a helmet that came off? Keep the road at 12:00 on the windsheild!

Yep - turned in too early, apexed too early, and ran wide. Most common cornering fault.

Your entrance line was the main problem.
Also look where you want to be. It looked like
you panicked and then were looking where
you were going to crash. Go where you look.
Stay wide before the turn and then do a late
apex and use the whole road coming out.
This will allow you to accelerate early coming
out of the turn.
Good luck. (former 250gp rider and instructor)

Ah, Thanks. I had something else but it was copyrighted by Youtube so I had to use one of their tracks.

It seams that your back wheel wanted to become a front wheel ;-)
is that because of the Vtec?
This week end I am buying the same as yours, a red one. just can't wait
