Low sided on the famous Blood Mountain, I did not know the turns too well and went too fast. Would have made it if i did not freak out and press the breaks...... but i did.

I grew up on Blood Mountain, seen a lot of visitors die. Your bike took out a white cross around that turn, it's there for a reason. Glad you're okay and a good rule of thumb is chill until you know the turns. Good luck!

You might want to check out Keith Code's book and DVD called A Twist of the Wrist. It is a great guide to cornering. I had a close call similar to yours (not very far from Blood Mountain, as a matter of fact) when I first started riding. It helped me really learn how to corner. Glad you made it out relatively okay. Maybe I'll see you up on the mountain sometime soon.

Typical target fixation. Panic and hit the brakes. Trust your bike. Keep leaning. you would have made it. then slow down. Also get some more gear. Padded riding pants, full jacket and boots. Glad you were okay, but you really lucked out. i bet it was a bitch to get that bike out.

I pressed on the breaks thats what made my bike stand up while in the turn, before i realized or correct myself i already hit the gravel.

1st rule of being in an accident, you don't tell people you're good until you've checked to see if all your fingers are there, no blood running down your head, no gashes anywhere, etc. For the first few dozen seconds you may not even realize anything is wrong because you are only feeling the shock impact and phantom pain from a piece of you that's "missing". Additionally, sit the fvck down because you can lose consciousness right after you took your helmet off and have a head injury THEN hitting the pavement or a rock. Let other people assess whether you're doing okay or going into shock because they're far more aware of your status for the next few minutes.

Pro tip: hanging off the bike will let you corner faster and harder. Don't get all crossed up (ass off the seat, torso centered). Your helmet cam seems to indicate you're leaning the bike a ton, but not moving your body properly to minimize lean angle. Glad you're okay, hopefully the bike wasn't too bashed up either.

before the fall probably had to lay down the bike below, the road is good and the speed was not great, and would then not fall. I had a similar situation but my motorcycle flew so far and the reason was the small stones by the roadside where I braked without seeing them.

sorry, but your riding a bike all wrong and your going to get hurt really bad..your just staying up straight on the bike and pushing then handlebars down left and right to make turns..haven't you ever seen the pros ride..you need to get your body off to the sides of the bike in the corners..the bike should stay more straight and you should be the one hanging off the sides..it's why you couldn't turn in that corner..you were sitting up straight on the bike..your center of gravity was way too high..you should have your body low and even drag your knee..move your body or quit riding!
@stinkycheese8049 жыл бұрын
Steve Brooks That works better on tracks than on public roads where you can't depend on being able to lean that far in turns due to random gravel, twigs, oil, ice, water puddle, whatever. On public roads you have to make a pass through the same curve shortly earlier or take it slower, or else you may go great on 99 curves then you get to the one in this video.
@TheDemitirus9 жыл бұрын
Stinky Cheese By getting your body off the bike, your bike actually has a LESSER lean angle than it does if you use only counter steering to turn..... So use your body man
@stinkycheese8049 жыл бұрын
TheDemitirus Yeah but it doesn't matter, you can't depend on being able to take a turn that sharp on public roads due to water/ice/oil/gravel/etc. unless you make a first pass to survey the road condition at low speed. It may work once, twice, even 100 times but this guy who wrecked has also probably made hundreds of curves then this ONE got him. It only takes one to ruin your day/month/year/life.
@TheDemitirus9 жыл бұрын
Yeah but leaning off the bike makes it safer anyway because you have less lean angle meaning more traction/stability for when there is gravel on the road or some shit on the road
@stinkycheese8049 жыл бұрын
TheDemitirus It also makes it more likely you'll break your leg or arm since they're stuck out. The ultimate solution is slow down, at least for your bike's sake if you don't mind breaking yourself.
