For those seeing it for the first time, that crash was from 2007 or 2008, i think he recovered OK Tongue

Correct. As mentioned in the video as well, this happened on a Thursday and he raced on Saturday. He’s a tough bastard for sure!

What i alway wondered and should have asked him at the time when i had the chance was why did you take your hand off the throttle. Don't think that split second would have made much difference but you never know.

He said his arms were pumping up.

He might actually be lucky that his lower back didn't come down on the footpeg.

Yeah when he said that in the interview and after watching it multiple times... I’m guessing he was getting fatigued and just brain farted the entire jump from the take off. Not only does he pitch it way over the front but in the process he goes to shake his arm to try and relieve the arm pump which doesn’t allow him to pull up on the bike to prevent it from keep rotating forward or panic rev to help bring the front end up.

I’m still amazed at the rag doll physics that were applied once he started tumbling though!
