trackday video, and a fall down.
Was a great day of riding. Finally got to comforable on a corner, and tried to get out of it to fast, with to much lean angle.

That was a great video. Your riding looked very smooth and controlled. I was surprised to see you passing some sport bikes. Is Chuckwalla a "good" track for the Hyper?
It did look like you almost saved it. Hope you weren't too banged up!

Great video.
NIce black stripe you left before the get-off ... could you have just powered through it?

Nice video...
It was for sure the tire, it was probably over heated and let go, you weren't exactly going slow...

Looks to me like he did power through it, hence the black stripe on the tarmac. The only catch is, how sideways can you go before you realize the reason why it let go was the tire is a piece of junk and couldn't handle the temp's WOOPS. On good race tires, that sorta thing doesn't happen as often, usually you can stay on the power and get out of it.
As I always tell people, good rubber is really worth the investment for a track day.

Very nice vid and riding. Like the way you stayed off the low side. That thing could have launched you to the moon. I think it had more to do with the heavy lean angle and aggressive throttle coming out of the turn. Hope you are well.
