Here are a few photos showing IMPROPER braking technique. :-)
Because of the cold and wet conditions, I should have SQUEEEEZED my front brake lever even more so than usual. Instead, I stabbed at it, which promptly locked my front tire, and instantly put me on my HEAD!!
I was leading the race at the time. You know how it is - the excitement of being in front sometimes shuts off the brain!
| Location: Turn 3 - Loudon, New Hampshire |
| Approx. Speed Before Crash: 80 MPH? |
| Estimated tumbling distance: 120 Feet |
| Injuries: Knocked myself silly, sprained wrist |

Oh NO! This is NOT going to be good!

Notice how bundled up the crowd is?
See how shiny the track is?
Honest, it was cold and wet! It wasn't my fault. :-)
