HOLY FUCKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wonder if his front bearings locked up or his calipers locked up. Other than him smashing the front brakes thats the only two other things I could think happened.

I'm thinking he ran into the back of someone with his right clipon. I've seen that in races a couple of times.

If you read the comments, you'd know, he just got too much brake. He was coming in hot and panic braked.

That's the straight-a-way where you come onto the track from the left. I've ridden Barber and there is no need to grab that much brake on that part of the track. The only thing I can think about is he thought someone might be coming in from the left or he just screwed up and grabbed too much.

The other thing, is why I only use 1 or 2 finger braking. With one or two fingers, you can still nose wheelie, but it's easier to let go if things get too hot. I'll bet he grabbed a whole fist full.

I'm thinking that aliens were about to abduct him for some probing, but dropped him back when they saw a cow in the next pasture.
