3 views of my Grattan crash

As Jim would say "you guys have to record everything" I combined my crash video with Cale Jones and Oliver Goodens video from Grattan. Cale did a awesome job going between me and the bike.

That could have been real ugly... glad it ended up on the low side

 

Ouch. That made my butt pucker. A couple of times.

 

Wow! Great job avoiding both you and the bike!

 

too greedy on the throttle?

glad to see you didn't get run over.

 

Stayed to tight on the exit, to much gas, not enough talent... Wasn't even riding hard, thats what bummed me out more then anything. Shit happens.

 

:wow:

 

Nice vid.

Rider in 3P made great choices.

 

Reminds me of the crash I had in the same corner 3 laps after I got bumped to the advanced group... Except I went over the other side.

Glad you're alright.

 

Rider threaded the needle! :wow:

 

Spec tires, more heat cycles than they like. (I'm guessing).

Great footage Rick - awesome getting three views of it.

 

Wow! Glad that worked out!

 

Damn!

 

The confluence of serendipity and skill in the blink of an eye. Glad for the good result!

 

Roundabout way of calling me cheap lol it's true. IIRC I put that rear (Med+) on for the last practice, so about 10-12 laps on it. I got in the habit of scuffing the Dunlops in the last practice session. They slid more then I like until they have some laps on them.

It did slide in the sweeper the lap before so I was going to give it a couple laps before I pushed back past Eric. Then that happened. I switch from Med+ to Med on for day 2 and it was solid. Cale was on the Med+ (I think) and he did great, so got me.

 

Wow...that's cold blooded!

 

Nah, he just knows me :up:
