LoL

FAR too much lean, he fell of the edge of the tyre... Thats what you get when you sit up and lean the bike further. Hence why you should at least be at the same angle as the bike, if not leant over further. heh.

Re: How not to get your knee down
 

Sounds more like he ground a can or peg down and didn`t have his knee supporting the bike , he also sounded like he was coming in too hot and in mid bend he gave the back end a quick chirp of tyre too , if he hadn`t fallen off I would say he was doing impressively well in avoiding going on a "Mad Vegetable Death Scramble"*


*These are copyrited words :p

Re: How not to get your knee down
 

Sounds like a possability Badger, but I think the cause is him sitting more verticle than the bike, its a MASSIVE no no... for the above reason... IE crash.

If you lean less than the bike the bike must lean more to maintain the same turning circle, hence in the wet I do the opposite and lean right off the bike leaving the bike more verticle.

yep thats the general idea, keeping the bike as upright as possible whilst u hang off like a monkey :)

Re: How not to get your knee down
 

I thought it was Badger to start with until I noticed the bloke was actually leaning with the bike. :lol: ;)

Re: How not to get your knee down
 

Its a front end loss, he was sliding out of the first corner, slowed down on the breaks then turned into left hander without rolling on the power, overloaded the front tyre and front went.

TSM you sure hun??

It looked to my unexperianced eyes, that he came out of the first corner too hot leant far to much ran out of back tyre, tried to overcompensate and lost the front one doing so making him loose the bike, but it looks like the error had already been made with him having lost the back trye.

Re: How not to get your knee down
 

Im fairly sure.

He stuffed first corner but did not loose it, that out of the way, he slowed down and turned into the left hander which was not too tight, the back did not come out from behind him on turn 2 it was the front. As he was not on the power as he went into turn 2, front went, he was possably on the brakes as he turned in too and a bit of target fixation on the lovley countryside.

ps. it does sound like he was on neutral power but not enough, it was compunded by seveal issues.

Re: How not to get your knee down
 

I would agree with TSM that it was the front that lost grip first but he was back on te power (almost) so unlikely to be brakes
