No worries mate, any time


....and I've voted goose as well now because after watching it a couple more times I reckon you both hit the anchors hard (front dives) and stall it (rear locks up) at the same time, all while watching Phil the whole time...that takes talent

.....and like Marty says, we've all done it, or will at some stage....the difference is there usually isn't a camera pointed straight at you when it happens

I would guess it would be what happens when you are rushing
let the clutch out a bit too much & stall
bummer really

Re: What caused this? Vote NOW!
voted stall, but that was the symptom not the cause hey...... was it something amongst; rushed it, didn't head check properly, no rear brake, lack of feathering the clutch, didn't wait for rider to pass, got spooked by bike in front turning sharper than he though?

Looks like some patience wouldn't go astray! Rushing tends to lead to error
Hence another goose vote!
