    Ignorance is curable, Apathy not so much, but I don't care, I'll try anyway.

    Why'd that guy go down? did he panic and let go of the bike or was he at the lean limit?

    I think the oncoming guys got surprised by the Cam guy and the rider infront.

    You can see the first oncoming rider straighten up a bit when he sees the 2 riders...the guy behind must have upset the bike by getting on the brakes and/or chopping the throttle.

    +1 .. agree. You can see the first guy upright, and the second guy probably grabbed a handful of brakes.

    Here is the original version of the video as posted by the rider who was hit with his explanation of it...

    "Camera is mounted on my bike when coming downhill. Rider almost took out the bike in front of me but he was able to avoid him and came directly into my path. I am ok for now..."


    Here is the riders Youtube profile page with many more of his vids:

    (ps: just a coincidence his youtube nick is the same as mine here lol)
