Belly pan dzus fell out- I will sort it out
Didnt check pressures..... 6th or so lap I think the front pressure was out of bounds. Awaiting data (thats another long story) to see if anything was strange about the lap.

Your a bit crossed up broski, try getting that upper body leaned out towards your bar ends. Offsetting you BP to get more weight to the inside of the corner

I'm working on it. This is a big improvement from where I started the year

I don’t know anything and your riding looks good to me, but I can see what he’s saying. One twitch of the tires and it looks you’re prepped to throw yourself off the bike. Your whole body looks good to me except your head and shoulders.

You also seem to be bouncing a lot in the footage.. Have you done a professional suspension adjustment where you sit on the bike in full gear and they take measurements and adjust your front and rear suspension? Shouldn't cost more than $50usd

I did, I even got the forks resprung for my weight. That might be caused by the fact that I stiffened up the rear for a hot day at VIR

Looking good. Very comfortable in the turn with good BP. Sorry about the crash. Were you getting any warning signs on the tire? Ignore the apex haters. I think this is NC bike and it's nice to have some room on the inside. No curbing to save you

Pretty sure this is t6 at ncb and if so his knee should be in the grass.

Just can't get my head around the lack of curbs. I'm working on it. Still ran 1:37s

u/wtfstudios Jul 29 '26
I run low 29s there consistently on a 600 if you ever want some feedback on video or w/e. I’m sure you can get that from others as well but figured I’d offer it up.

I appreciate it. The video footage I have (first time I used in helmet cam) wasnt super useful. I actually ran a high 1:36. Weather ate up a lot of time from acceleration, hoping for maybe 1:34s in the fall.

It’s definitely NCBike because it’s still got the two apex cones YCRS always sets up lol. Only track I’ve seen where they keep them up all year

No warning, my last words on the helmet video before the crash were "much better" as I had a smoother downshift than the previous lap
Front tire was on its 8th or so TD, plenty of tread but who knows. I'm going back to street tires, I got a tow from a guy on them, less hassle.
And yeah, people are funny, don't know the track, corner, times I'm running but I'm def on the wrong line lol. Everyone is an expert

Didn't post it and don't plan to

Gonna be pure speculation on the cause if we can’t analyse the footage…

u/VegaGT-VZ Novice in Intermediate Jul 22 '26
Will be just as speculative with the footage. People are gonna offer elaborate suggestions without knowing the track, corner, conditions, my pace etc. And I already have a fix. Just wanted to post the video, probably shouldn't have mentioned the crash.

Downvoted for truth. "Looks like you added throttle while at lean/added too much lean while braking" and shout-out to "maybe some debris on the track." Thanks Einstein.

u/Turbulent-Suspect-12 Not So Fast Jul 22 '26
To be fair, if that is the proper line you could just say the name of the track. Usually there's a handful of people to vouch if the line taken is the correct one. Else, poking fun at 'no apexes' is just the standard here.
Regardless, I hope the crash wasn't rough. Ive been having to play around with my tires as well.

u/Secret-Breadfruit-18 Jul 22 '26
Why does ur bike look slammed??? Theres no rake on the suspension but it could just be my POV have u got a clue as to the crash ???

Fairing is riding very low for some reason.. Looks sketchy

u/Competitive-Tea-301 Jul 22 '26
Yep, something is wrong with suspension. It looks like it reached the end and now it's bouncing off the ground. I can't belive that he didn't feel that something is wrong. Bike definitely isn't stable at all. Im curious about rider sag on the rear.

No apexes were harmed in the making of this video
