    It's poor quality but has definitely made me feel better seeing it. All happened so quickly that I couldn't of done much I think.
    I maintain that I'm certain I hit these two plate size puddles that were on the Tarmac touching the apex. I hadn't seen them in laps previously as I was well off the apex. I remember trying to get very tight to it so focusing on it and looking up and seeing these two small puddles and then I was gone. I thought I'd lost the back but kind of think It may have been the front first, I didn't think it could flick you off like that from losing the front though. What do you guys think? Be honest, if you think I just fucked up then say.

    Yea I was fine other than a bruise on my forehead and my wrist ached bad. Realised that my gloves didn't have much wrist support.

  8. I really hope you are OK. Did you remember pulling the front brake lever at any point?
     
  9. Re: Got my crash footage from snett.

    Good old pace to drop it at mate, good thing you roll well.

    Difficult (for me, anyway) to evaluate exactly what went wrong. I'm not sure if you didn't hit the apex a little early, requiring you to put slightly too much stress on the front tyre at that position.??

    I will possible do 1 or 2 rounds will try do sentterton with maybe no limits

    Stopping the film just as it gets out of shape it looks like the rear wheel snaps out of line sharpish, not sure there's much you could have done except stay away from the 200mm of track beside the kerbing, but then it's easy being wise with 20/20 hindsight. Put it down to experience - sometimes shit just happens.

    Snett is first round with no limits though so might not be great weather though.
    I'm pretty sure I didn't, I don't leave a finger on the lever and I don't remember snatching at it. I may have been gently just still on the throttle and the slip made me twist slightly more???

    That shows it well (nice one spec675 :up: ) Now it looks to me as though the back end starts to step out, you feel it & back off ( mistake IMHO) it catches again & spits you off.

    This is what it felt like stm, automatic reaction to release what throttle I had on I think.
     
  19. Re: Got my crash footage from snett.

    Just snatched mate.. Looked like hit damp patch and stepped out.

    That's reaction to throttle off.

    Next to hold it and control the slide XD

    Can happen to anyone on any corner to be fair. You rolled well so that's better then most
