I think we've all been there at some point, you either get away with it or you don't. Looks like one of those moments when you realise you're coming in too hot and you have to overcome your instincts, let go of the brake, tip it in and hope. Keep your eyes on that vanishing point. Easy to say from my sofa I know. Glad you're ok 👍
I've done a couple of track days at Cadwell Park. Each time the instructors in the safety briefing drummed it into us that whatever bike you're on, Vale (or others) could go round so much faster than you. It's not the bike, it's you that is the weak link. If in doubt, look at where you need to be (apex, exit) and try to make the corner (unless you've not braked at all). 9/10 you'll be ok and make the corner. Obvs in the moment you have to overcome the 'fight or flight' reflex, easy to say, harder to do. I just made sure I had safe braking and turn in points for each corner, and stuck to those until I felt comfortable moving them forward a bit at a time. Glad the rider is ok, everything else can be replaced. 👍
@Worther12 I agree but this works more as advice for a fast street rider that target fixates. His pace was already extremely high,he was basically backing it in already and he was too late on the brakes the bike was wiggling and the suspension was loaded on the front, turning in would’ve probably resulted in a high side.
@@walterhorn5567 like say I'd lifted it up and run staight over the grass I've been hot into there once twice allways manged to get round easy ran alittle wide it's a physical run there anyway easier than done when you have panic and decided your not gonna make it, stand it up ,scrub as much speed as u can, then realise front brake go ouve grass my laps round 139 best easy consistency lap 141 ,142 not to shabby for old guy on road bike lights incators no tyre warmers, anyway we fuck but place to fuck up I say
We all make mistakes on track it happens the main thing is walking away and not taking anyone out with you anybody giving bad comments i bet you've never made a mistake in your life have you 😂
My dad used to ride a 1000 k4 with british superbike parts. He told me about the time he went here and almost sh** himself when he hit the jump. Props to you for handling the jump and crash like a champ🎉
I can remember when I first went to cadwell I just put a 200 rear on and never used one before. When I hit that chicane I never realised how much I'd need to man handle the bike to get it to flick, woke me up for sure
Pretty funny all the armchair racers in the comments. Dude had the courage to post this up and people can learn from it but half yall here trying to lecture the guy when they dont have the guts to ever step onto a track. Thanks for sharing the wreck. Glad youre ok!
Ouch, that hurts to see that happen. It's good to know that you are okay and the bike isn't that bad. I have Armour Bodies race fairings on my GSX-R 1000R and highly recommend it. Good luck getting that beast all back together.
There are a few comments questioning his grip on the right bar. To answer those, if you are having to hang on with your hands you are already out of control. That’s why the ride position on a sports bike is laid forward, you are almost stood up so your legs are doing the hard work. The bars are just controls, not for hanging on to.
As i see it;::; @1:57 he brakes late for his speed and bike wanted to stay upright,not turn too easily, and driver wasn't ready for that and turn was failed at that point, imo.
Crashed in exactly the same place and circumstances as I did 5 years ago at cadwell! I was carrying too much speed down that straight and thought I wouldn't make it around the left bend.panic braked and laid it down before the bike and I cartwheeled up the grass bank. Luckily I only had bruising and friction burns,the bike wasn't so lucky lol😂
I once hit a false neutral at the end of the straight downshifting going into coppice , ended up taking the track that takes you to the marshals box at Mansfield, yeah that made my arse pucker 😅
@gsxrbros7645 the one I had most problems with was Charlie's 1 , ran off track a few times , always turned in to soon till it clicked what I was doing wrong , hope you got ya bike sorted 👍
Best advice ever .. when I started riding sports bikes I was obsessed with clock watching .. so many near misses and shit lines round bends always over cooking it and leaving myself short for braking /// taped of for a year I’ve never looked at my clocks since .. you should know mentally your riding to fast
I do occasionally look at my speedo. Coppice on my bike is around 100mph so the bike could have easily made it. However as you say, it's best to tape it up.
Oh wow. It's good you're ok and that the bike is going to be alright too. What happened? I was wondering if the brakes didn't bite quite hard enough. You were having a lot of fun until that moment though! Nice riding.
We all make mistakes hope you are allright, I see you don't have much experience (yet) on track, don't go straight in corners the tires don't do well off track Wish you luck
Just proves a new bike and no coppice confidnece is an expensive result, glad u wasnt hurt, easy off the throttle and less brake next time, steady away.
Been there buddy, like literally same track. Crashed my ZX6R on the turn just before the mountain. Poor GSXR, hopefully you learned from the experience and are a better rider for it.
That’s more than enough for Cadwell and I would put money on it that most people (excluding pro riders) would be quicker on a 600, 636 or 675 around here. ‘05 636 would be my choice here. Best engine (and track chassis) I’ve ever ridden.
@@TheScortUK aye I know pal but it should stop a hell of a lot more than yours was. I’ve always changed the stock ones for an adjustable one 👍🏻👍🏻 hope you get the bike sorted and glad your ok 👌
A pity as you may have been able to ride that out & got it stopped before Charlie's on the other side of the hill. Main thing is you're OK. Can fix Bikes easier than Humans.
Well he might have some bad habits and Cadwell is a tricky circuit ! Loss of concentration perhaps but at least he’s out there giving it a go , and he’s not the slowest I’ve seen ! Just to cover all the smart comments 🤷♂️😳
Cadwell's amazing, that has to be one of the best corners in the country too! I always go in too slow because of the fear of that happening though lol, ballsy corner!
Pros and amateurs all come off even gp riders . I just xant understand why people race there street bikes on the tracks when you can hire and take out insurance???
So Moto Gp riders grip there bar wrong too is that what your saying!! 😆😆 There’s multiple ways to grip your bars and hold a brake lever ect.. it’s what feels right for the individual. Can you even ride a motorcycle?

Light pressure on rear brake helps to stabilise the bike when you're coming into a corner too 🔥 😅😅😅
Or stand it up straight plenty of run off there

The bike’s performance out ways the riders skill level.
Not sure if I agree. This rider is better than 99% of the riders on road and probably 90% on track. Shit happens and sometimes you crash.
Moto gp riders crash all the time. No lack of talent. Tires, wind, temp, it happens. Not on the street endangering others.
The saddest part of this is where the fan kicks in just after the crash, like the bike is doing it's last duty for the rider, before it died 😞
Pray for Mojo
As long as you are ok that's the main thing.
We all make mistakes on track it happens the main thing is walking away and not taking anyone out with you anybody giving bad comments i bet you've never made a mistake in your life have you 😂

Loss concentration perhaps
Target fixation maybe
definitely
Wtf? How, why did he come off before the end of the start/finish straight? Of all the places to bin it on that circuit, that is the least obvious. 😮
I thought that. How??
Loss of focus
Missed braking point I guess, it's really not that had to work out if you think about it 😂
@@TheScortUKexactly, you can see he missed the braking point. I guess he's just a terrible rider and those on the internet are much better....
There was a left hander there mate 😂😂😂😂
Yep, we’ve all been there. Realisation of going in too hot quickly followed by brain fart. Glad he was ok….
I did a track day at cadwell ,run onto the grass entering chris curve,twice! More luck than judgment it stayed upright both times.😅
Gave me anxiety waiting for it ! I’ve crashed loads that slow motion feeling of oh fuck isn’t much fun. Hope you wasn’t injured ✊🏻
As i see it;::; @1:57 he brakes late for his speed and bike wanted to stay upright,not turn too easily, and driver wasn't ready for that and turn was failed at that point, imo.
You need steering dumper a lot of shacking........

You be surprised how much speed you can carry round coppice
That's a fast one. Hope that you are ok. 👍
Yeah no injuries and bike still lives!! Actually got it back riding that day with abit of tlc.. and help 👍🏻 cheers
Hopefully less damage than chucking it in anyhow to see if it sticks.
You crashed on a race track… you’re not the first and won’t be the last…main thing is you walked away 🤷♂️👍
I once hit a false neutral at the end of the straight downshifting going into coppice , ended up taking the track that takes you to the marshals box at Mansfield, yeah that made my arse pucker 😅
Easy done, Least you didn’t bin it 👍🏻 I went into the same corner another time and had no gear shifter to knock down a gear so went of roading
@gsxrbros7645 the one I had most problems with was Charlie's 1 , ran off track a few times , always turned in to soon till it clicked what I was doing wrong , hope you got ya bike sorted 👍
Ambition outweighed talent.
Casey stoner over here
@@gsxrbros7645loss of focus caused your wreck. Most common reason and extends all the way up to MotoGP, BSB, WSBK professional levels.
I went off here 20 years ago but rode it over the hill without coming off. Don’t look at your speedo. Tape it off.
why shouldn't he look at the speedo
@@justobserving4862 Cuz you ain't looking where you're going if you do.

Where you pulling a wheelie just before going on the grass ?
Glad to see you are OK. Did you lock up psychologically when you realized you were coming in too hot?
What's with the wobble surely looking back u can see from the start there was gonna be a crash
Maybe better to take your chances with straight ahead than bin it on a corner?
Oh wow. It's good you're ok and that the bike is going to be alright too. What happened? I was wondering if the brakes didn't bite quite hard enough. You were having a lot of fun until that moment though! Nice riding.
What is that on ur triple clamp? Looks like am is mounted too it
Front wheel on the ground helps with corners
Got away lightly atleast it didnt roll. Maybe could of made the bend been there myself as soon as you look at the other side thats where your going
@@bobbyclark7423 yeah thankfully it didn’t dig in and roll 🙌🏼
We all make mistakes hope you are allright, I see you don't have much experience (yet) on track,
don't go straight in corners the tires don't do well off track
Wish you luck
Just proves a new bike and no coppice confidnece is an expensive result, glad u wasnt hurt, easy off the throttle and less brake next time, steady away.
Well i don't know if the motor is broken in yet, but it's definitely broken
If the guys got plenty of money fair enough or get a cheap track bike
Glad youre ok.
Boy did you get it wrong!
That will buff out…….
Hesitate and it’s too late, didn’t even try to make the corner, hopefully he’ll learn from it 👍
Damn that’s a bummer.
Missed your braking marker?
Been there buddy, like literally same track. Crashed my ZX6R on the turn just before the mountain. Poor GSXR, hopefully you learned from the experience and are a better rider for it.
Yeah cheers the bike lives on, managed to get back out on it that day believe it or not!! new clip ons and a few zip ties 👌🏼
This is why i ride ZX6-R, not a 1000cc.

You’ve got a warning light on the dash? 😂. Glad you’re okay, we’ve all been there at some point. If you haven’t , you’re not trying hard enough 😂
Unlucky mate, hope you are ok
Do you have a steering damper fitted 🤔
Yeah, come as standard with steering damper
@@gsxrbros7645 it was doing some head shaking for having a damper fitted 👍🏻
@@ueshaw177a steering damper doesn't stop all head shaking, it just goes some way to stopping it deflecting and starting a tank slapper

Well ya started smooth..... Then ya started checkin up mid apex and over corrected. At least the camera survived and everyone got to watch.......
The bike survived too!!! Was out again on track same day… new clip ons and a few zip ties
So what exactly happened? Why did you crash?
He wanted to test the airbag system.
Just here for the comments lol. Glad you're okay.
Nothing gets ridden as hard as a gsxr
Gutted for ya! I've had a hairy moment on that corner too
Glad your alright
Did not hurt the camera !😊
The rider in front of him went the same speed, didn't crash .... must say a lot of bumps in the track ¿
Just a mistake, these things happen, looks like the rider was OK which is all that really matters.
Ouch, I hope you’re ok. Looks like it could end up being a dedicated track bike now.
Yeah that’s the plan!! new race fairings already installed
Check those steering head bearings!
There is a red button in your right try it. .
How did u manage that😂
I will literally never take my bike to Cadwell. It’s my least favourite track in Ride 5 I hate it 😂
Cadwell's amazing, that has to be one of the best corners in the country too! I always go in too slow because of the fear of that happening though lol, ballsy corner!
Bit late this but maybe u could have committed then sat it up if not going to make it
Ran wide before start of turn, whilst braking. Simply, too fast
so sorry for you mate.
no idea what happened here. I once slept at the wheel, maybe that's it?
Annnd it's gone.......
If you can't control it
Don't get on it bro
Fixable
Half the bros on here don't ride track and you can just tell
Pros and amateurs all come off even gp riders . I just xant understand why people race there street bikes on the tracks when you can hire and take out insurance???
You can't understand what, maybe it's the cost of hiring and insurance that outweighs using your own bike and taking the risk.
Tightened up
All the gear no idea.
Like you have any clue 😂😂
Beginner mistake !
He was on the grass then lost it.
Ouch 😰
Soo funny stick to the road 😂😂 2:37
personally i would of eased off at 1:50 head shake
Looked like a nervous rider on a bike there not confident enough to push on a track they didn't have much experience on
Footage from 3 years ago, second ever track day
Maybe should have stayed at home and watched a film with a nice cup of tea and a slice of cake instead........!!!!!.😮
Think the bike is to fast for your ability, maybe start in novice group
This was 3 years ago if you read the description 👍🏻
Absolutely novice you can blast that bend
