If you hover your mount pointer over the photo, on the right hand side a > should appear, click it, and you can keep clicking them on subsequent photos to see the rest of the pics...

He'll be telling his buds it was his years of riding experience and well honed skills that pulled him through there.  The pictures show it was a lack of skills that got him into the predicament to begin with.

That's called "going too fast for the conditions encountered, with a bike that is not really meant to be leaned THAT far over, by a rider in over his head"....

in a few pics the rear tire is completely off the ground.

I think the crown of the road right there is the only that saved him.

He made a big mistake but he stayed with it and ultimately got it back up again.  He failed but he also succeeded.   Shocked

Mostly by looking thru the corner it seemed. A lot of riders would have freaked and looked down.

I agree with everyone here.  We've all pushed the limit at some point.   Some times you get the bear, some times the bear gets you.  Wink

Personally, I think he pushed his luck and then got lucky to recover.   It could have ended in a much different way.   Yeah, I know, he's been riding for years and planned the whole thing....   Roll Eyes
