Normal IMO...racing bikes is about finding limits....and in that situation you found a limit.

And finding that limit, this mistake isn't likely to be repeated.

Thanks all!
I like to believe I've done a decent job of identifying my errors in both crashes. So I fee good about not repeating them. We'll see if I'm right next weekend I guess :)

That's key. If you don't learn anything from your mistakes, it's an opportunity wasted.

Nice article, and a good chuckle. Wish I could come up to spectate.

Oh Jacob...whatever are we going to do with you?

Great read, as always, and I agree:
