He patched the bike up and went out again the day after in green group.

Your problem was that you rolled off the throttle before you hit T1, you should have just kept that DUC wide open all the way through :happy3:
by the look of that tire picture .. you havent quite dialed in your suspension
Glad your OK.
Looks to me like you were going to fast into the corner let go off gas braked for a millisecond and you lost control? It's not easy to tell from the camera mount position.
Glad your allright though!
Glad your ok Ric!
Yah,pain killers.I thought i was done yesterday.But woke up this morning to a torso that's a rainbow of really cool coloured bruising.I changed my knee sliders for that session to celebrate Canada day a bit late.The splill did a number on the outside edge of my left knee and took a chunk out of the slider.That was a nasty one.

Glad to see your alright.
If i'm not mistaken that section of the track drops away and kinks left.....your front unloaded and didn't have any traction.
Get well soon, man. Catch you after you have served your house arrest term, hahaha
Ya know what?I think your'e right.I have watched the vid a lot of times now.And you can see the horizon dip a bit just as the front goes away.Maybe if my line had been a bit better thru there it wouldn't have happened.Lesson learned,i rode beyond my abilities for that track at that time.
Stubby is actually being really good about it.But she hasn't seen me without a shirt on yet.This isn't easy to hide.:(
In looking at the video over and over, I agree.
Ric, can you post a pick of the left side of the tire?
What did you set your tire pressure to? (cold & hot)
It may be due to the wide angle of the GoPro, but if the bike was more to the right of the track before turn, wouldn't that reduce the sharpness of the turn & required lean?
Again, glad you walked away and thanks for sharing the video.
Can't give you a pic of the tire.I did a session sunday morn with the bike bandaged up.28 front 30 rear.Didn't check them hot.The cam is a TachyonXC.I am still POSITIVE the front tucked.I just didn't know why.After watching the vid dozens of times,i'm pretty sure that the combination of being off line a bit,leaned over a bit too far and having the front unload a touch in the little dip just before the apex caused the front to tuck.
The "stutter" you hear is just the odd sound the muffin makes.It's 13/1 motor on race fuel sounds a bit different than most.It was running perfectly.I was holding a very constant throttle thru there.
edit:and the other big reason i fell off is,i'm not Jordan Szoke!
