He's lucky to be OK, very lucky. The trucks were pulling away before they noticed.
Well we've all has lapses in concentration. But I couldn't help thinking he didn't seem to be braking much. Too busy saying shit. Any time I've had to brake extra hard trying to save my skin, well your bracing your self hard against the braking force, total concentration, and trying not to lock up the front or flip the bike. It's only once I've stopped I might say something.
Do remember doing a pogo stick impression years ago. Locked up the front, let go, nose up, back on the brakes hard too hard, back off, on, off, on off. Got much better at applying brakes quick and steady after that.
Maybe he's had a bit of one of those rabbit in the spot light moments.
Main thing is he's OK.
And what is it with helmet cams?
I mean great a helmet cam would help me if I ever got cut up bad. But then I could be riding about generating enougth evidence to get locked up for a few years should plod get hold of my cam.
