    There is no reason for him to have missed any of those turns. He absolutely didn’t even try to turn. He froze. This guy needs to give it up.

    He doesn’t even try to initiate lean to take those turns he missed. So either he has no clue, he froze or he was hamming it up for the camera.

    taken at his word and how hard he was breathing after eating leaves, I thought he was genuinely clenching his butt cheeks. He’s definately going too fast on the straights for his abilities to feel comfortable initiating the lean into the turns and target fixating on what he could possibly hit instead of turning his head completely through the turn.

    He’s riding your bike, isn’t he? Does yours have clip on bars?

    Yeah I noticed his head focused on the trees and not where he wanted to go. That guy is a danger to himself as well as everyone else and shouldn’t ride on the road.

    Spaz, does your bike sound like that? His didn’t sound like it was idling right.

    I think Spaz is right about the target fixation and going to fast. He wasn’t even slowing down for those corners though. Just because the guy in front can lean without slowing and drag a knee doesn’t mean any idiot can do it.

    We know that at least one idiot can’t.
