    I've been there (on the ground in 6) both times I went to the track. Good luck healing. Time for a new helmet!

    Glad you're OK!
    I think countersteering got you there. You said that you felt the rear slide which meant, to you, that it was going RIGHT, so you instinctively (sp) tried to turn the front to the RIGHT by countersteering, like you would do on the street. So you pushed on the right grip--BUT, the front was way light already (see Eric's excellent post) and you lost the front (bar going quickly LEFT in vid.) in a classic front end crash!!
    That's what I see anyhow.
    But what the heck do I know---I've crashed there before too

    not bad for a first time off on the track. bumps to the noggen suck big cajones; tumbling sucks big cajones. dust yourself off and get back out there next spring

    Jeez I'm late.. After watching your video a few times it kinda looks like my crash. I wonder if my crash was due to bad bar input. Pretty crazy you were that banged up. You seemed fine at the track. Glad it wasn't any worse. Hope to see you out next season after your wedding!

    Yea...I'm working on that situation. I feel like after the wedding in May, my balls will be officially snatched up and I'm going to have to fight tooth and nail to make it to some trackdays next season. We'll just have to see how it all pans out.
