It looks like he went into the corner too hot. Either to try and get a good photo, or because he was just plain a bad rider.
It also looks like he shifted his body around after he was already 1/4 of the way though the turn. The Lee Parks method describes being fully set for the turn including body position and speed prior to corner entry.
It looks like in #6 he rolled off the edge of his tire. It could also be that he upset the suspension when he shifted. Hard to tell for sure... hopefully he wasn't hurt too badly.

Just because they sound the same doesn't mean they are: there≠their≠they're; to≠too≠two; its≠it's; your≠you're; know≠no; brake≠break
hmmmph...not really much I can say here that hasn't already been said...then again, I've been caught on camera dragging knee in jeans by that very photographer, so I'd better just keep my pie hole shut, eh?
Dragon bites another rider... Going in he probably thought his speed was fine... Then when the corner turned into a decreasing radius corner he probably freaked... That or when his knee was eaten by asphalt he lost concentration and then dumped it...
Shame with all those professional racer decals all over the bike you'd figure he'd try their style of riding...(ya know with gloves and some leathers...)
OUCH! I promise to be a better boy and wear my gear ALL the time.
On a side note: how does anyone think it is a good idea to ride FAST on an unknown road (oops, it's a decreasing radius turn!)
