Spies Crash

Rewind the tape and watch what really happened. Ben didn't cause the high-side--he knows not to get on the gas hard in the corkscrew, yet the bike stepped out from under him. Viciously so. The tape tells the story. It's fairly obvious, yet none of the commentators caught it...so, what happened? :unsure:

Good catch Dane. I was wondering the same thing but hadn't had time to watch it again.

 

Thanks for the clarification guys.

You guys nailed it. There's two camera angles of the high side, the camera shooting uphill shows the rear wheel collapsed all the way up into the the tailcone, and when the pick the bike up, you can see the rear wheel flopping back and forth. Probably linkage failure. Inexcusable in my opinion....

His other wreck wasn't because of the swingarm. I called him wrecking during practice. He was riding real poorly all weekend. A wreck was inevitable.
