Sweet Jebus... The wobble that guy got on touch-down must have made him shat his pants.

Bet he would have recovered if he did not hit the brakes and just rode it out :dunno:   Seems to me it started to tame down, and when he hit the grass it might have went away cause the wheel would have had less grip.  Hard to say what brake he used, but if he grabbed a handful of front on that grass embankment the wheel would have washed out (or did).  Of course we all know he should have twisted the throttle back up to wheelie and try the landing again. :lol:

Watched it again, his feet were off the pegs when he went into the grass...front brake.  And it looked like the headshake had stopped  right before he went offroad.
