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.)

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...

Maybe I'm a wussy too, but I thought the same thing! It looks like a fun road though. I'd probably ride it at like half the speed and have a great time.

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

This is the way to be. During my training, they taught us to be super calm and cool. If you run up on your friend and they are missing an arm or something, you (their first line of help) aint helping the situation if you're hysterical.

EDIT: I think there is some truth to what you're saying though, after seeing many of my friends crash so many times at the track, I have become somewhat numb to it.

Poor guy..

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
