Looks like a handful of front brake while trying to lean in. I know cause I am king of front end tucking (in so many ways).

Glad you're ok and aren't you glad you did this on a relatively cheap to fix bike rather than some retarded expensive Italian POS?

Fix it up and bring it to the track. We will help you destroy that corner the next time you meet it.

Glad you're ok.

My take on the video alone(I wasn't there, and don't know you):

You guys aren't riding within your abilities. You should not be using brakes in turns. Turn in/lean harder. Going into turns; "slow in/fast out"...especially on unfamiliar roads. Ride your own ride, at your own pace.

This ^

The rider grabbed front brake in the corner. That makes the front dive and takes weight off the back tire. That loss of weight caused the loss of traction on the rear tire and it slid out.

If you are too hot you lean and pray but you never brake.

Very glad he is ok.

Glad you were wearing gear and we're all analyzing what went wrong rather than talking about how banged up you are.

The bike doesn't look too bad. A few hundred more dollars of damage, and I'd be inclined to make you am offer on it!

Mistakes happen. Sorry yours resulted in a slide.

Glad to hear you went and got checked out, and glad to hear you were ok.

If you go frame by frame in the video there's a wonderful pic of you doing the slide for life... :rolleyes:
