Wow, cool view and that guy had luck on his side. He was probably going a little fast, shouldnt pass on the right and locked the rear up but nice to see him get up. Imagine your hands without gloves?

Riding crazy and not paying attention. The other biker came out OK. You see him parked way back from the tanker.
Squid: he should have been able to stop or find a way out to avoid dropping the bike.

Didn't look like he even tried to brake, just dropped the bike
I like a non-sequitur as much as the next Giraffe.

Way to fast and definitely not paying attention, I am amazed he even bothered to shoulder check. He is lucky the truck driver saw what happened and didn't keep driving because his foot was stuck under the rear tyre there for a second.

glad he survived but he was an idiot. trucks have to swing wide when turning right. i couldnt see the turnsignal of truck. but still keep that in mind

Yea he did a bunch of things wrong. At least he had gear on.

How fast do you think he was going when he dropped the bike? 60 MPH?

Watched this several times to figure out where, exactly, it went wrong. Seems like it was just a really bad panic stop.

His pants seemed to hold up pretty well; it scuffed through on the knee but otherwise looked OK, and he wasn't limping.

Im sure he just stomped on that rear brake hard! Not that im not guilty of it but you have to try and avoid that or this is what happens. Not speeding also helps......

I do love those Go Pro cameras, great quality.
