I was watching live when it happened, and I thought the same thing too. I rewound it and watched it slo-mo, she ate it big time!!

Don't know how long this one will stay up.

It didn't stay up long, already been taken down. I haven't seen what is posted but I know exactly what you guys are talking about I saw it live as well. I have it dvr'd here's a gif instead.

I am trying to figure out what the hell happened! It's obvious she was traveling at a deceivingly high rate of speed. At first I thought maybe her rear tire broke loose because of the paint line, but it breaks loose before the tire crosses the line. So, did she just lock down the front brakes knowing she had no rear traction in order to stop? I thought maybe she hit the curb and it caused her to go over the bars. But it's clear the front wheel locked up before she made to the curb. Was it a mechanical failure? Maybe she locked it down to avoid being obliterated by the trees? Hitting trees at that rate of speed would probably be life threatening, if not obliterating. Maybe there is a steep drop off on the other side of the tree line? I can only speculate she intentionally locked down the front wheel knowing the disastrous results. I thought she was dead too!

Watching that over and over...  The front wheel does seem to to slip before the back tire gets loose....  I wonder if some moisture started to form on the road? You hit the front brake with those skinny tires and thats not a good combination.....

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
