Isn't it obvious? He 'had to lay it down'

Actually, that looks like the tail end of a high side.

I looked all over for additional photos of that crash....couldn't find them. I was curious about what brought the crash about too.

How in the world would he manage a high side when he wasn't even to the apex of the corner yet? Assuming I'm interpreting the photo correctly. I would have thought he was still breaking or maybe throttle neutral at that point.

In any event....the judge in Kansas gives him a 7.4 for his dismount. Though his faceplant was nearly perfect, I marked him down for not holding a complete pike position all the way through the landing.

Tubby grabbed a handful of front brake mid corner. Panic braked.
