It looks and sounds like his wheel actually hit something.  Or is it my imagination?

Yeah, it does. That's the risk you take when you do stuff like that though.

Looks like he hit something...  Poor motorcycle.  I hope someone rebuilt it and rode it with two wheels on the ground.

It kinda sounded like his tire burst.

yeah, i've seen this one many times.  the standing theory is tire failure.  whatever happened, it's a spectacular wipe-out.

+1

This is a repost from awhile back, and the consensus then was his tire blew at exactly the wrong time. But that's the risk ya take!
