Hey what's that trick James Bond stuff he drops in the corners. I like the editing, looks like The Hulk graps his bike and throws it at Barkley
Glad to hear that rider is OK.

Same video in embedded form...

from where i was sitting it looked way closer to my head than it looks on camera

1st Lap... 1st right hander..... (of only 2)...

Yeah...It appear that might have been a bit optimistic with my corner entry speed for the first lap to say the least. Just wished those dawm straw bails werent so close to the racing line so you dont have the spend that extra attention not to touch them.

Lets say that it was the first time that my bike is competive since I start racing and beating Dom in the heat race might have contribute in this over optimism. Lesson learn, now I got to rebuild my bike and get ready for mosport.

Just glad the bike didnt hit another rider, that what scare me the most when a saw it fly by me in direction of the track.

Tabarna%$&*! Amazing how a lowside can turn into that. Is this the same bike that caught fire last year?

If it is...time for a different bike me thinks!!!

No its a new bike (by "new" i mean he only crashed it 3 times so far, so still pretty new for him )

I think im victim of a malediction surrounding the Sainte-Croix racetrack. First time I went there my RC51 lowside due to a clearance issue with the sidestand, a well know fact that I ignore at the time. Last year VRRA GP, a brand new binder strap broke and my bike fell off the trailer 10 minutes from home on the highway. This time a relatively low speed lowside catapult my bike 10feets in the air and land on asphalt.

I never liked this track and this time I give up. Its shitty anyways, from the boring layout made even tighter with dangerous straw bails to the brown ice comming from the cracks in the pavement. I sincerly hope the VRRA will find a new venue for next year

C'MON, Sébastien!! Look on the positive side. Ste-Croix is ALSO the track where you got your first WIN!!!!

Have you considered the possiblity...that the French hawk riders are now resorting to extreme measures to slow you down and make it look like an accident? ...Just say'n maybe it would hurt for someone to ask some question, I know a volunteer Sheriff's Deputy by the name of Dwight Schrute...

That was pretty spectacular.
That picture calls for a caption contest...

I'm sure a third warm up lap could have prevented that ! *running out of here*
