its call a "high side"

prety common type of crash in motorcycle racing. It happens when to much throttle is applied - too early in the apex of the turn, thereby breaking traction and causing the rear wheel to spin. once the wheel hooks, it throws the rider up and over the bike.

pretty nasty way to go down =(

Ouch! That musta hurt!

If the back breaks traction, don't throttle off (will cause the rear to hook up = highside). Keep on the gas. Either the bike will slide out (lowside) or come right. Easier said than done. Have to fight survival reactions to do it.

Narrow track is narrow. Still looks like fun, though... except for the highside, of course.

i was the one in front of the guy that crashed, in that specific corner there was like a "plate" of rubber that went soft because of the sun.. back wheel slid out and came back, highsider

look like he panicked, thought he was going to run onto the grass, then braked with the reaer which slid out, but then when he took his foot of the brake it kicked back in and the violence of it threw him off?!
