Not a terrible crash, but shows what can happen by being timid or too inexperienced.

Did you notice he was trying to actually lift the front up with his arms.

If he would have had lower air pressure and never would have chopped the throttle, and hung to the side when it started to fall he could have held it. at least he's practicing somewhere secluded and at a low speed.
