Looks like he either hit the front brake and locked the wheel? Or did he hit the car in front? it looks like the front end didnt wash out, almost like it shoots to the side

I thought the same thing, but it really looks like the front just shoots to the side too fast

Front tires do that when you try to turn them while GETTING on the brake. Ask me how I know

Yeh I've done it too, but that video seemed like it was on ice, it just went to the side too fast

Yeah, something just seemed a bit off in the video.

Fuck, that would suck to have the paparazzi assholes follow you around. We've all had dumbass moments on our bikes. If I was famous there would be great video of me falling over at a huge intersection when my shoelace got caught on my gear shifter.

I'm wondering if it's a rear brake skid. I'm guessing his tires on that bike aren't as sticky as our SS tires.

Looks like he clipped the blue Saturn's tail light with the brake lever. That swept the front under.
