Hmm, seems like he hit the brakes exiting/mid turn? What happened there? Is the rider ok-ish? (can't play audio at the moment.)

Tucked the front? Didn't see the brake light go on

The guy following was really chilled... like seeing your friend ride off a mountain was an every day occurrence.

Looks like he did, but I also think I saw quick flash of the brake light before he went down.

I think I hear the Grom rider making a Homer Simpson "woo hoo" so I assume he was not seriously hurt.
Maybe I'm a wuss, but I thought they were riding rather fast and aggressively for that road, and the guy on the Grom seems to be cutting some awkward lines through the curves. JMHO...

The fastest guys always miss the beauty of the route; ......... fully tasting the flavor of dirt and vegetation some times.

Dat's some dirty riding by that GROM... He sparks his pegs early on, was definitely grinding it. Probably lifted the rear and didn't have enough room to get it back in touch with the tarmac....
Poor guy, although this riding is definitely a common occurrence on the Dragon... Hell, I've done it, but it's best to keep in your own lane... Would LOVE to try a Grom on that road...

If you are not staying well within your lane you are ridding way too sloppy.
He was having a good time and has a good story out of it. I bet the Grom came up and out relatively unscathed. @Kscreations08- my guess, stretching his legs
