That's an ignorant comment, no one deserves to crash. Especially inexperience as a reason.

How can you possibly lowside in the hairpin? At least he did it on a blind uphill off camber turn.out of all the places to low side... he didn't do it on the hair pin lol .. when I saw the hair pin coming up .. I was like ... OHHHH OHHH here it is ..... and nothing... then the slight right turn came and down he goes lol
If somebody crashes at the hairpin they should just hand in their license.
As was mentioned earlier. Why do people feel it's a good idea to post videos like this on youtube? You're telling the whole of the internet you suck.

You should marry him, he's a keeper...
Haha, maybe if things don't workout between my current
Maybe I worded it a little wrong. I guess deserved is a little harsh. What I meant to say was it's entirely his own fault.
He had ample time to slow down. He knew he was going faster than his skill allows and still continued. He was not trying to keep up with anyone. There was no pressure to go as he did; he just did.

Well he seemed to be pretty proud of his first lowside....battle scar for him I guess, he just better not be scarring anyone else with him.
Jeebus Krist forget about his crappy riding, he's gonna take someone out...he's lucky there wasn't any car or even another fellow rider.

Such commotion over nothing. Lack of skill? Sure. Lack of road manners? Yea a bit. Messed up a tight corner? Yep. So he's a noob. I didn't see anything out of the ordinary indicating that he was being especially reckless. Just speeding and some mildly inconsiderate passing. I'm not saying it's all good--it's not--I just don't get why this guy is being picked on so much. And I guarantee that every single one of us has crossed the yellow line at least once.
If that van was a few seconds ahead, they woulda been peeling him off the pavement at that corner
The guy is a dumba$s, if he can't corner (stay within the yellow lines) then he's gotta slow down. Imagine another rider comes along and he hits them head on.

Thats scary ****... Im sure we all started with little to no experience on bikes, but please stay on the right side of the road... -_-;
Professional Drifter status or not, it doesnt matter if some one gets hurt for negligence.
Paul posted a second video of the guy.., gives you an idea

As a local who grew up in that area I'd like to see things like this not happen. While that road is fun it's not the place to drive like an idiot. I've lost friends to an accident years ago on that road and all people like the noob in the video do is create the need for a higher police presence and an increased risk of accidents. The area is great, very scenic and all that but I hope most have the brains to keep it civil there.

That blind off-camber turn is probably the worst turn on the entire road. The surface has become extremely slippery due to wheel spin by cars and trucks as they accelerate up around the curve. I was once following a couple of cruiser riders who were going particularly slow and one of them did the same thing at the same spot, too much throttle at the wrong time, which caused the rear tire to loose traction and slide out from under him.
If this guy does not slow down, or at least learn how to ride between the lines, I fear the next posting will be his obituary.

On the uphill, I think the right is tougher than the hairpin for a new rider personally....I always get some spin on the right (intentional). I would say the extra little slope and where it is, with a little curbside dust helps.
I'm surprised you couldn't hear the laughter coming from the cruisers he passed earlier...maybe a few toots of the horn
