Lowside vid: howed it happen?

[Ribenapigeon]

So how do folks think this happened? I think she just leandd too far for the speed she was doing. Any other thoughts.

She was slightly chopping the throttle and she wasnt going fast enough for the amount of lean she wanted.

[recman]

And 'murican.

She was having a 'shall I, shan't I?' moment, probably more concerned about the way she looked rather than the way she rode.

At 40 seconds you can see the front tuck.
I suspect it was 'recoverable' at this point.
She has pretty decent arm position, but I wonder if they were a bit too rigid. Or possibly she tried to 'correct' the initial loss of traction forcing the bike down.
You can see after the tyre seems to slide out a bit, the steering is turned inwards, but the bike doesn't really come around.
I suspect the 'lack of adhesion' moment was the patched tarmac.
A bike with decent tyres should be able to handle what we say there, I'd say.
I suspect she had tyres that didn't work well from cold and maybe had the right side cold if she'd been going easy up until the corner with the camera.
I suspect hanging off would have helped - if nothing else, it adds a little 'flex' to the system.
I also suspect a slight positive throttle would have helped - they generally recommend you are gently accelerating around a corner to put a bit more weight on to the rear tyre.
If she was on a decelerating throttle position, it would be putting a lot of load on the thinner front tyre.

To be fair, I haven't saved a great deal of front end slides (rear slides are much easier to handle). When I was racing well I was able to catch a few mid-corner front end slides while still on the brakes. Others I didn't catch and ended up getting a lift back (or in one case, trying to re-enter the race, then realising I didn't have a right hand foot peg!)

[UrbanRacer]

To me it looked like she just threw the bike on its side expecting it ride like it was on rails. She was also fairly static on the bike, when going for big lean angles you'd expect her to shift some weight to the inside at least.

[barrkel]

I'm fairly sure it was because there was a dip in the pavement, and the forks, at an angle, weren't able to follow it fast enough to keep traction.

You can see the rear of the subframe lift as the bike tilts forward in reaction to the front end dipping.

Probably with better / hotter tyres and better surface, only her boot slider would have touched. But better suspension, or less lean angle so the suspension has a more direct vector on mediating the weight shifts, would have been even more successful.

I'm going with the road surface playing a part here too. Funny that she lost it exactly on the different coloured tarmac, which the front bobbles over as well.

Maybe I'm being a little picky but at 37 seconds there's a decent view of the rear tyre and it looks a little square.

[Rogerborg]

Binned it every bit as well as a man would have.

Yes, road surface and all that, but really the same answer as every other muppet that spreads their bike down that road: obsessed with doing a hero lean to impress the audience, forgot that physics doesn't care how many cameras are on it.

It shows one of the biggest failures with motorcycle cornering technique... you lean to get the bike round the corner quickly, not because leaning the bike looks cool...

She was moving her body the opposite way to the bike, she had the bike over far more than was necessary and had random throttle. Every time I see vids of that corner I'm surprised by how low people are going for a complete lack of speed, show-off rather than functional riding...

Isn't this that corner there's hundreds of videos of Americans crashing their bikes on ?
Maybe there all just shit riders ?

I'm sure they oil the tarmac just to have crashes. I've seen videos of people binning bikes there at about 20mph with f*ck all lean angle. It can't all be down to lousy technique.

i think she is just has the bike too far over, may be if she'd kept it more upright and shifted her weight a bit, it would have been fine,
but she pushed the bike under her moving away from the road,

but meh really

I still think it was the front wheel that went first. At about 41 seconds the front wheel looks to be almost out of line with the rear - as I believe it's slid to the outside a little.

Little rear wheel slides tend to be self-correcting. They turn the bike in a bit. Front wheel slides less so.

[stinkwheel]

I reckon she should have been WAY nearer the middle of the road throughout and watching the vanishing point instead of the white line until she could see her exit.

She rolled off the throttle just before it happened so not enough speed for the lean angle.
