  • If the damage was minimal, then why didn't you pick the bike back up and continue racing?

    you just didn't want to deal with the front tire issue?

  • It's not legal to do that in a club race. Once you're down, you're out.

  • that sucks what condition was the bike in?? and why did he even lose it??

  • My front tire was tearing from poor setup, so my traction wasn't as good as it should have been. I added a bit of lean angle to hit my apex of the decreasing radius turn, and that was enough to overload the front end.

    Damage to the bike was minimal.

  • Turn 4 scares the hell out of me. The R1 in front of me slid out in practice. That's where my brother always gets me on his little tz250

  • Hey Mike.. I remember doing free practice that day with you.. it looked like your head was inches from the ground every time I saw you in turn 2!! crazy crazy.. glad you didn't get hurt in that unfortunate low-side. You were making up so much ground from such a bad grid position.. I know you could have easily made the top 3 by the end of that sprint race.

  • somebody fire the camera man.. worst ever

    ___

    you know why?

    cuz -=Im so awesome=-

  • great camera work...

  • You missed the crash. Boy, I can't tell you how many people I've seen hit the boulders in that exact same spot.
