Literally the guy posts a video a day. Many riders are claimed right where rnickey sets up every day they should know better lol

I don't get it.......... That does not seem to be a very technical turn/curve........ Anyway I'm glad the guy didn't get hurt.

I would pay such good money to see a helmet cam version of this.

There's nothing special about the corner other than the fact that it's popular and there are always people there with cameras, so it's a combination of two things:

1. Numbers. If enough people go through the corner, SOMEONE is gonna mess up.

2. Idiots trying to look cool for cameras. (I've totally done this before myself when I was an idiot but I didn't mess up, just cornered way sharper than I normally would)

WOW..

Where is Mulholland? Looking on a map of the area Mulholland looks fairly straight, Topangacanyon Blvd looks like the road to ride
I commented the same thing on a youtube there for the same corner and got berated about how there's something technical about that turn.

That guy posts a lot of footage at the corner, for every shitty rider there's a dozen that smoke it no problem.

I agree rnickey sets up there with a few other photographera and the riders might get spoojed or something that there is a presence. Its always different when a camera is eyeing u up amd your trying not to crash which ends up you losing your focus and actually crashing

Novice rider or expert, the day you see photographers perched alongside a road you're riding is the day you go find another road to ride.

O.B
Exactly.

You can here his tires squeak twice before the corner , looks like he just chickened out and paniced.

Another one of his vids had to laugh at the 4.10 sec part a old two stroke bike followed buy the police, even they look like there are having a ball. Seams like a great place to ride.
