This is a pure example of what happens when you decellerate in the middle of a turn w/o leaning hard.

I'm curious what his buddy was thinking being right behind him.

Gotta get those NVGs man.

OK kid's, it's time for a spelling lesson. The name of that vid is "Angle's Crest." Now, I'm pretty sure there is no crest called Angle's Crest. It's probably Angel's Crest. Yes, that's right, folks there IS a difference between angle and angel. An angel is a heavenly being with wings, while an angle is something you shoulda learned about in geometry class.

Back to topic... either he had never ridden that road before, or was way too over-confident. That coulda been very ugly very quickly.

That WAS somebody from here, but I don't remember who. I remember last year when that was posted and the story behind it. That's a clear case of panic and freezing. Got extremely lucky.
Another good example of why not to ride hard on the roads.
yeah he said he just wasn't paying attention for a second or something like that
