    Got away with just a couple of grazes and dented pride. Was really angry with myself for being so guff and losing concentration 🙁 Must have been thinking about what I was having for tea!!

    guy behind you crashed too… was that because of you, or was actually tricky?

    Count yourself lucky, 2 years ago a bloke crashed less than 1/2 mile from there on this event, hit a wall and was killed.

    Seems you were going round fine until you straightened up and went straight into the wall? lol?

    haha yeah it was the straightening up caused by me ramming the brakes on when I realised I should have been leaning and turning more, it was a lot tighter than I had planned for.

    Yeah Im counting myself lucky…..must concentrate more!!!!

    I think the Gold bling may have glinted some sunlight back up into my eyes 🙂

    Guy behind, thought “this guy knows the way I’ll tuck in behind him”!!!

    WTF?

    Looks like the guy behind you crashed also – might have been an oil spill on the road?

    Too much fiddling – not enough concentration 😉

    I’ve captured my best crashes a few spills on a GoPro, funnily enough as soon as I sold it I stopped crashing 😆

    Brilliant, looked like you were making it before you pulled the brakes.

    I hope it didn’t hurt too much

    That pretty much summed up how I felt…..

    I hope it didn’t hurt too much

    it started to sting as I set off again, backed up by a shout of ‘OWWWWWW’

    I think (though I could be wrong about this) that the idea is to go round the corners?

    Wow how did you get away from that without an injury??

    I must admit I also become a bit preoccupied with my GoPro when its on me. Constantly wiping it or even worse looking down to see if there’s crap on the lense whilst riding at speed.
    They’re evil things I reckon and going to be the death of me.

    Looks like a classic case of looking where you think you’ll end up, and not looking where you want to go.

    Piled it instead of pinned it. Awesome video though (no, not the crash part) it looks major fun.

    Enjoy the evil that is GoPro 👿
