    I don't think he is. It sounds like you can hear his helmet hitting when the bike is upside down/ the bike is very very very low went it is upside down

    In that case, it happens all the time. The craziest thing that ever happend at loudon was the highside in T1 where the guy got ejected from his bike and landed seated on the tail of the bike in front of him. Rider pulled onto the grass and let him off, then got back in the race.

    Only to lose it in the grass after saving it. Damn that was cool.

    Re: Too much front brake, flip and lands it.

    True that, but still a wild video. I remember the one a coupla' years ago when the guy had a tank slapper, his body flipped over the bars then he landed back on the bike and continued on.

    Not certain about the squishyness of his leathers at that point.

    Here it is, the first one. Second one good too!

    Re: Too much front brake, flip and lands it.

    yeah can kinda see in the rders shadow he's coming off the bike. Pretty cool though. Guy that cut in front was hard on the brakes too, back tire well off the ground.

    It's all water under the bridge, and we do enter the next round-robin. Am I wrong?

    Re: Too much front brake, flip and lands it.

    See? Doc and Deggsy were right. A blend of front and rear brake is what's appropo in these situations..

    Just not for me..

    Bet the rider was worst off than the bike.

    Cool vid!

    I wonder what the sparks were coming from. The tire squashing around from the violent movement causing the rim of the wheel to come in contact with the pavement?
