I have seen quite a few people struggle with that big sweeper under the trees...think I remember Mikey or Jeff going down in that exact spot one year. It doesn't look that hard but it goes on forever and changes every lap. That Herlings crash is just rag doll ugly.

That Herling's crash looks like something out of the early 80's.

Looked like he hooked the bottom of his fork tubes in that rut.

Hell yeah!

Something ABRUPTLY interrupted the progress of Herlings' front end.

In other words...WOW, that fucker just stopped dead but the kid kept going!

Easy to see he was in "whut the hell just happened mode".

Youre right, that corner was different almost every lap all day long.

I thought the same thing at first, but whatever we watched there was more than yer basic "Batfly" bailoff.

That bike went from 50MPH to 0 less than 0.

Big storm just rolled through and lost my internet for a while...Yep Racer, that corner has always made everyone look like a goon at least once...it's real shady there too so that might play into it.

Mike's second crash/high side had to have hurt...it wasn't as wild as Herlings, but, these guys are tough. You don't get flung to the ground like that and jump back up if you aren't pretty rugged.
