The 27-year-old said he’s been riding for six years, and that he thinks the problem was with the bike’s steering, and not rider error. “I love taking corners ... but this corner wasn’t even sharp, and I was only doing like 40 miles an hour and I went to lean into this turn and this bike would not let lean,” he said. From the video, he appears to enter the corner at closer to 60 mph, and is still going over 40 mph when he hits the gravel shoulder.

Yeah, he hit that corner at almost 70, when he should have been doing 40 or less. Not sure why he would contradict his own video footage on entry speed.

Oof. Blames the bike, not rider error. Claims he was going 40 at corner entry, speedo shows 60+. Had no heath insurance.

I don’t think you’d be speaking to reporters if you made such an error on some of the canyons here. I’ve wadded it up into a guard rail in my early 20s because of a bonehead downshift, but I can’t understand this.

On a second look it was more like:

misinterpreting the corner > going too fast and wide > turning too late and slow.

Not just fixating on that pole.
