Hard to tell from that vantage point but sounds like he scraped a peg and gave it up (got spooked) or lost a wheel. Lots of lean for no good reason but to impress the camera. Poor guy...

If you study the rest of the 168 videos posted in that channel, you will see clearly that there is a special gravity field around that specific point.

Nothing went wrong. He did a perfect lowside.


Actually, if you notice all the lowsides that occur right there, they are all photographed by the same guy. What he does (and this is very top secret) is; he sprays Pam on the road surface and then uses an extremely bright flash on his camera. When the flash goes off it blinds the rider, they never see the shine (of the Pam) on the road and next thing you know they are on their ass.

he crashed because he doesn't know how to ride a motorcycle.

look at his body position. now look at the angle his bike is at. clearly doesn't know how to motorcycle. when you are not taking anything away with body position, and you're maxed out lean angle, you had better have damn perfect throttle control or you'll lose the front like he did.

he crashed because he had too much weight on the front for the lean angle. another way of saying it would be that he didn't roll on the throttle enough by the time he hit his max force on the tires. he could have kept it from happening many different ways but he failed in all of them trying to impress the camera.
