@@s1krocket Brother, last few videos you got pulled over and crashed. I've been following you since 5k subs and you rode right by my house in this video. Don't want to see you abruptly stop uploading one day and wonder what happened to you. Chill out a bit, brother. Are you doing a Cyclesmith track day? I'm going to Thompson on May 6 with my track bike.

[@halcyon_studio]

​@@s1krocket To be fair, the cop said he pulled you over for speeding, and crashes are always because of a mistake. I used to ride a lot more recklessly and I had a real bad crash when I was in my early 20's as a result. I know you don't want to hear it, I certainly didn't. The big one can happen to any of us, as hard as that is to internalize. I ride with an airbag vest now and it gives me a bit more peace of mind. Ride safe and have fun brother, enjoy the track day!

[@s1krocket]

@halcyon_studio I’ve already had my big crash, broken neck, dissected carotid artery and collapsed lung, at the fault of another driver, he didn’t radar us we just accelerated quickly from the red light, but thank you bro you ride safe too!

[@fattyatemetoo]

@@s1krocket it's pretty clear you were powering out before the apex of the turn, skill issue

[@502-BadGateway]

Yeah, I have to agree with @YongL_rd, you can hear you come on the throttle before the apex of the corner. Trail the brakes into the apex and don't throttle up until you want to stand the bike back up. All stuff that track days will teach you. Glad you are ok, and very glad you had your suit. One of the things the group I ride with says every time we go out is "Do NOT chase the rabbit!". What that means is, don't chase the guy in front of you. The minute you try to keep pace with someone, that's when stuff can go wrong. Don't worry if the crash sakes your confidence for a bit, it happens to all of us. The important part is to be able to analyze what happened and to be honest with yourself on why it happened.

[@s1krocket]

Yeah a very fixable mistake I have to learn from thankfully this is my track bike and I have 9 lined up this summer so I’ll be learning a lot and improving my skill as a rider. That’s exactly why I backed off my boy in the front he knows that road like the back of his hand and it was like my second time on it haha

[@damito2887]

como es el tema? porque dices "y no aceleres hasta que quieras volver a poner la moto de pie. " eso significa que cuando entro a la curva y acuesto la moto no debo acelerar? o es que hay q mantener velocidad constante en la cruva y acelerar de forma gradual cuando quieras la moto en pie?

[@YoungL_rd]

You have to stop rolling onto the throttle so early into the corner bro. Thats a rookie ass mistake.

[@s1krocket]

We all learn and make mistakes 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@YoungL_rd]

Im glad your ok tho homie. But you gave it like 15-20% too much. You shoulda just kept the initial throttle you gave it and you woulda been good even with bum tires.

[@s1krocket]

I mean I appreciate it there was just no need to say it was a rookie mistake, I’m always open to advice, I think the crash makes it seem like I throttled hard but when my tire slipped out in the rear is when I gave it gas cuz I fell, I should’ve just waited a second longer when I hit the apex to throttle completely out of the corner but it didn’t even seem like the tires attempted to grip the ground, I appreciate the advise tho bro no hard feelings I shouldn’t have said what I said either

[@dannyverdel9036]

Can u explain what rolling onto the throttle is? Newbie myself so yeah

[@YoungL_rd]

@@dannyverdel9036 he “rolled” on to the throttle too early is just he gave the motorcycle too much gas while in the corner. If he would’ve waited like 1-2 seconds more before he accelerated he wouldve been fine./ if he didnt give the bike as much gas while leaned so far over he would’ve been fine. Essentially, when in a corner you shouldnt accelerate too aggressively bc the rear of the bike can spin up/ slip from under you. On the flip side if the bike catches traction you will highside. When means the bike throws you off into the air(look up Marc Marquez high side).

dont increase throttle till you wanna go straight. the moment throttle was increased you went straight off the road since the bike wasn’t pointed towards the road. smooth is the move. maintain throttle while cornering to avoid a simple mistake. this is a beginner rider mistake unfortunately. not to say an experienced rider wouldn’t make the same mistake, but this is something that you learn not to do on smaller cc bikes with more forgiveness in power. glad you are okay, dont let this little hiccup affect your mental, ride on brother🤙🤙🤙

[@leevanf1070]

His downshift and going off throttle until 0:27 was correct. But indeed he added some throttle early at 0:28.5, as he increased lean almost same time at 0:29. Should have done the lean first before even adding maintenance throttle. I think the right moment to add some throttle would have been right after that bicycle road marker. But anyway all is said and done and im so glad youre ok and doing well!

Hello s1krocket, watched many times the part where your bike slipped (16:29), to understand how it happened, after that I read some comments below. As a good rider its important to analyze own mistakes first, but in your case, I dont understand how this happened. Do you still think it happened because of those tires or do you know more now? Maybe the reason was a shift of the roadpressure from both tyres towards front tyre, wherefore the rear tyre lost needed pressure to bring the demanded amount of acceleration to the road? Thank you for sharing!!!

[@megageorgeyey]

I also can’t hear or see anything, if someone could explain I’d appreciate it, just seems that the tyre slipped but the angle nor the throttle were aggressive enough.

[@glocklife]

Respect for sharing the video so others can learn. A couple takeaways from my POV. First you had just downshifted so the engine was at it's torque-iest and you got on the throttle early as others have pointed out. However you also appear to turn into the turn instead of counter-steering. I think counter-steering could have easily pulled you through that turn because the amount of throttle you used wasn't that bad. I watched the last few seconds a dozen times and the front wheel pushes left. Practice counter-steering and trailbraking until it becomes second nature. Also kudos for being fully geared up. Best decision you made that day.

[@s1krocket]

I most definitely did not steer into the turn I’ve been riding 3 years and have taken turns wayyy deeper than this to know about counter steering, I’ll agree with everything else tho all about learning from mistakes

3:15 I didn’t want to point it out but I think out the whole video the worst mistake is your right hand full throttle and your left hand, eyes focused on something else. Your balance can be lost at any time bro. It’s just an overall bad habit. On the corner, your RPMs were extremely high for the curve. Get on a high gear and ese into it out of the corner, once out then drop the gear.

Regardless of what you say, you were on the throttle before those white road markings on the left of the road and the traction was lost 15 feet after the road markings. In fact you got on the throttle exactly where the telegraph pole was at the side of the road. That was before the back slid away. You were on the throttle too soon. This is a classic case of the bike being faster than the rider. You got away with it this time. Let's just hope that next time there isn't a young family in the way who might stain your leathers with their blood.

Glad you're okay man. I see a lot of people saying you gave too much throttle too early, but the rev increase happened as you were falling. Maybe it was a little too much throttle, I dunno. I think it's more of sometimes the grip you get on public roads isn't always what you expect. The same amount of lean/throttle could work in 10 corners, but then that 11th one is just a little different. Gotta be careful pushing it out on public roads.

[@edgeofnight]

Could you tell me what exhaust you are running on the 636?

[@s1krocket]

M4 slip on

[@edgeofnight]

@@s1krocket that is just a slip on🫢. Sounds really good👌🏽

[@amoore2165]

I’ve done a lot of high speed twisties riding. My first thought before you even crashed is that you’re getting too close to the outside of the corner. 1) it leaves little room for error if you’re too hot in the corner but 2) mostly that you’re getting too close to the loose stuff and the marbles. It goes straight from pavement to dirt (no shoulder)…have to stay away from that dirt and gravel in the corners.

[@BIGGELATO]

Dude you're awesome for sharing this 🙏 ty bro. Always remember; learning is part of mastery 💪💪

[@Andre-py9ry]

Thank God you are OK! You probably know this already but I will write more for other newbies. Increasing lean angle, engine rpm increase because tire radius is getting smaller. If in the same time we add "decent" amount of throttle even a new tire will slip. It will happen even in 125 cc if we add all throttle while leaning, tire will slip. All inputs has to be smooth - Smooth is fast, fast is smooth.

"I don't even know what to tell my mom" had me weak lol same

[@twoEnergetic]

best way to break in gear is to break the gear man, glad your alright and stay safe

[@dylanadams03]

bro never apologize for ending the video early, just glad you're okay man, looking forward to the next vid and seeing what you do with the 600! Keep up the great content brother!

[@adderhoney]

Lamb Chop Rides had a similar low side when he was tracking a ZX-10R. The Kawasaki super sport bikes seem to have a brutal power delivery when they're leaned over. Even with traction control...

[@s1krocket]

It’s not even the power delivery that was the main cause it’s more of the fact I loaded the front by braking and immediately went back to my throttle before the turn which disrupted my suspension, it was a mix of like 3 things that I naturally do and they finally caught up to me

[@adderhoney]

@@s1krocket Thanks for the reply. Just glad you're okay.

[@bmxbowhunter99]

Would this have been prevented by leaving into the corner a little later ? Trying to learn from this.

[@s1krocket]

Tbh I’m not sure it was a mix of a lot of things some being my fault others being I didn’t have sticky enough tires for the type of riding I was doing

[@elonmust7470]

​@s1krocket your tires were not the issue..

[@sinkin1133]

with second gear that corner and open throttle I'm no expert but you need reheat your tires first.

[@s1krocket]

Had nothing to do with my tires and everything to do with my lack of skill, after months of reflecting and getting my first sessions of seat time on the track

[@joshuaquilliam2887]

Glad you just got a few scrapes and a busted bike. Ride long enough and you will go down. It happens to the best of us, luckily it was at 55 and not 180. Thanks for sharing, good to show others so they can learn. Big props bruh!

[@itsskel4100]

I understand you were upset about the suit and I would be too but I’m glad you’re alright brother, most important part is we get to live to ride another day. All that stuff is repairable and through hard work we buy another bike or gear, just glad you’re alright man!

[@hexer1000]

Keep safe riding out there man

[@DeniedClimax]

Glad you’re ok brother. Leading up to it peaking over 100 I was cringing the whole time waiting for the fall. Thank god it was “only” 50-55 😓

[@kauko8124]

Bad luck. Happy you're OK!

[@spacetruckin6555]

Glad you're GTG! I quit squidding years ago. Switched to a geezer glide and never looked back.

[@Max0309]

How many km on that new bike ？ I did same thing when my bike was 10 km tyres are too new this was the reason

[@YusuF-MV]

Glad that nothing bad happened to you. Can I include you in my next shorts? of course fully credited :)

[@lawrencecheung73]

Thank goodness you're OK buddy. Take care.

[@Niobium23]

That was a weird lowside, definitely tires and not your fault. Early throttle application was fine, not out of the ordinary. Don’t listen to these idiots saying you got in it too early. Early throttle stabilizes the chassis. It was a slip situation not a throttle problem. I have done over 400 track days and ridden and raced for over 40 years. You were good bro, tires weren’t. No worries. You got this shizzle buddy. 🦾👍🫡💚😁🐉

[@mikasihite5346]

Lol yeah I would be pissed if I ruined my gear too. But how the hell did that suit rip like that where the arms are ?

[@s1krocket]

Dirt and debris

[@freeride6073]

Glad you're ok , ride safe .

[@lumpvision5746]

This makes me want to get a full suit so much more. I'm glad that you were geared up. Obviously, things could have been a lot worse if you weren't.

[@ProperHandling]

Nice video man and what do you use to record your voice during rides? I have a GoPro mounted on my chin but when I record I can’t hear my voice very well.

[@s1krocket]

I use the rode professional go, it’s $80-$90 on Amazon you need a go pro media mod to plug in the mic that’ll run you another $60

[@georgedavis943]

6:13 😂 shitty ahh

[@RaacingAce]

When open the throttle you lose the traction on the front, dont do it before apex of the coner.

[@doviziusop]

I hope you wont be afraid to open the throttle in corners next time. It’s just you open the throttle as you increase lean angle. You can open the throttle, just carry enough rolling speed(coasting) and lean the bike over first. Then you’ll realize how much throttle you can give.
