    Good example of what not to do! Slowing down that fast because you lost your cam on a hot track? Even if it was tethered, which I doubt, you don't EVER abruptly slow down or stop on a hot track! Hope the rider was reprimanded for this. Just my .02...

    Before anyone jumps to conclusions.........His chain broke( why he slowed abruptly), chain hit his camera(which was tethered), which launched it down the track.......mechanical things happen.....it was no ones fault, and no ones wrong doing.........luckily no one was hurt.....good example of shit happens.....nothing else

    I apologize, I was not aware that the rider had a mechanical failure. It was the right thing to do to get off the racing line. The vid looked like he stopped to retrieve the cam. Again, I apologize.....

    I wondered what he was looking at when I went past. I totally blame him for messing up my :26. I seen him and threw my hand up for the folks behind me so they didn't charge the outside... last fast lap of the day. :(

    more shaky video from advanced group Monday. I changed the settings to 720i/30fps but i don't think it helped. Too many vibes from the super duke

    If we're lynching, can we give the Advanced guy who crashed in the esses on Monday, a hard time? Left his bike in an impact zone while posing for the camera, causing a red flag? ;)

    He supposedly couldn't pick up his bike and move it out of the impact zone because his suit had "deployed". Um, yeah. LOL.
