for 2&3 I'd say they should be either maintaining the same level of throttle but running a bit wider on the corner after the back starts to go or backing off ever so slightly.

Its the rapid changes that stuff you up, smooth changes would have far less of an impact.

Cool that you've ridden it. It does look pretty awesome out there.

Watched the vid again and I think you're dead right. Looks like he goes almost straight over one just as he loses it.

I think there are literally thousands of bikes going up and down there every day though, so it's bound to happen.

The tyre squeak from the first one sounds good grip ?
