    He weaved thru like the matrix. I'd expect panic and target fixation.

    If you watch the video close enough, he was setting that up - so he could avoid being creamed.

    Looks like he almost side swiped the first car, and right after that - he weaved aggressively to the left. I think he did that because he knew what was coming.

    What I wanna know is why was he braking in the middle of that turn, since there was no one in front of him? Just needed more lean to stay in his own lane...oh, and yeah, that's some crazy sh* right there.

    Fear is the mind-killer.
    Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
    I will face my fear.
    I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
    And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
    Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
    Only I will remain."

    He needs to ride more aggressive. Before you all flame me let me explain...
    He was riding upright and "in" the seat. He should have been leaning forward and have half his butt cheek on the right side of the seat. Kinda like trying to kiss the right rear view mirror.
    If he did this, he would have made that turn safely and it would have been a boring video that we would not be discussing.
