"If not us, who? If not now, when?"
Knee wasn't even close. Dragged a peg or toe, freaked out. He could have ridden it out if he hadn't panicked. Noob!
When life throws you curves, aim for the apex

yeah dragged toe and them um uh put his hand down to "save it". I bet that didnt feel good.
Never seen anyone do that, seriously... if you feel that you lost it let go but don't almost break your arm (unless he did) foolishly attempting to save it.
Looked like a toe touch to me. I got scared the first time my toe ever hit, but I damn sure didn't put a hand down... My problem was I was riding on the balls of my feet with my toes facing out. (Not riding flipper-footed or whatever, I was on the ball of each foot, just pointed out) Two laps later I was dragging knee though

I know it's human instinct when you are going down to put your hands out to brace the fall but in this situation
Yeah, toe first. Agree with OP, probably shouldn't be leaning that much with just sneakers & jeans!

He just wanted to high five the road...
"When you on the track, you have to be enjoying the moment, you have to be flowing, "Be water, My Friend". You try to be the fastest, and it seems a little beet estupid, 20 riders making the same way, lap by lap, but this simple thing: is very complicated." #99
This specific turn is famous for crashes....even years ago before cameras were brought out to there. But I am sure you're right and it has definitely added to the wanting to look good in front of the camera.
There is a big stretch just after the turn up the hill where everyone parks so there is always a crowd.
Chopped the throttle mid-turn, broke rule #1.

Dude... did he just face palm mother nature?
Fuck that im calling this one a win!
The toe of his (what appear to be) skate shoes starts rubbing (not a problem), then catches & folds under the peg (problem). Watch the sole of his shoe between 22-26 seconds. That's what freaked him out (IMO).
