Had to sort of dump the bike on a corner up in the mountains. Was coming in a lil too fast around a corner, almost had it corrected when I hit sand. Power through or try to stop asap? I chose to try and stop! Check out the video here!

Hey man, glad you and the bike are okay, well recovered. My little addition to this would be to say that a bit of target fixation came into play...maybe ? But having said that you made the right choice in the end as no damage to bike or rider.:)

Oh I'm sure I COULD have powered through the corner but with a chance to lowside the bike, the hill seemed to be the best option at the time. Thanks man!
 
Good job responding vs reacting! Any day you walk home from and learn a bit more about riding is a good day :)

Yeah, I'm glad I didn't superman! hahaha
 
Good save that's all that counts! We've been driving in India for 2 Months with 10+ others and we saw incidents like this almost every day due to the road conditions. Just stay off the front break straighten up as much as pos and avoid snapping your ankle on a rock! Going direct up the bank is usually preferable than going with it in my experience.. depending on the slope ofc. Liked and subbed :)

Yeah the speakers for the SMH-10 help cancel out a lot of wind noise for me. I listen to electronic music, which never helps since it just makes me want to speed more often. Haha!
 
holy fuck! that looked scary! Glad you kept it up. I fell over a while back and i got to watch it flip over while i was sliding around on the ground. Good times! unfortunately i didn't get footage though. usually when i hit sand i can't react that fast , but i've ridden it out as well. not a good time!
 
I almost scrapped my bike doing similar and got it on video too. It looks like you had a lucky escape too and managed to learn your lesson the "less-hard-way" like I did. Be safe :)
 
Nice save! How you leaned a heavy bike that far over without dropping it...you are some kind of bike wizard, aren't you? I was expecting so much carnage when you went off the road.

Oh no, I had my jetpack on so that helped a lot! ;) Luckily I just wasn't going to fast. It's hard to see from the angle but when I landed on the right I threw both legs over so I could catch it and hope that I could keep it from falling and it worked! Crazy split second decisions!
