today was terrible with all the ice we had, and looking out the window wanting to cry remembering the track riding we did this past year, I decided to slap together some of the footage I had.

he was not even trying to hand of the side. you can see the reflection of his head on the tach.
his entire body is over the bike.
center of gravity was way off, not enough speed maybe. probably the result of a few things.
kinna just looks like he ran out of tire.
as your riding skills evolve, so will your suspension requirements. a stiff track setup will not feel good at lower speeds. gradually increase the stiffness as your speed goes up. but there are also many variables, such as what sort of equipment you use, rider preference, tires, track...etc

I still blame the rider, trying to pull a move like that at an intersection. I witnessed the same style of crash here in ottawa.
the rider was passing on the right side and plowed into a left turning car. ripped his leg off, a lady and I kept the guy awake till the paramedics showed up almost 20...
sucks, yet the guy that did the passing should have been thrown out I think, no passing during a turn in intermediate is the rule, unless it works different in the states.
having ridden in all 3 groups several times for a few different organizers, I've always found that the expert group is the safest and intermediate is the most dangerous. and this has nothing to do with lap times.
