repost, but it is a classic so I will allow it. I love the RV kid thinking they were going to get beat up.

Can't remember the last time I had my ass kicked by an entertainment attorney and an oral surgeon. Why ALL riders should be required to take an MSF course. Might have used the FRONT brake had the rider known that 70% of the braking is in the front brake. Same could be said for the rider who took out the rider on the last ride with Drewpy and me.

The last death at the gap was cause of rear brake use. It's real common up there, we had a life flight out for the same reason last week. People said the blood from that wreck was everywhere.

He just needed to learn bikes are supposed to lean in corners. If you watch it close he never was in danger of the bike not making the curve, he just didn't lean and then skidded straight off the side. What a dumbass -->

The problem was passing into a blind right hander at speed above the rider's comfort level. When he panicked, he locked the rear causing the bike to skid. He target fixated and rode it straight off the mountain.
