Must be a new rider cause most would be using that foot for applying the rear brake. Natural selection at work

Looks like a newbie fell into a brake check from the car, make sure you know your controls and limits before toying with the cagers on the freeways. Hope some body got the plate # on that car, looked a little intentional, that's my view of it.

Looks like road rage...
the vehicle filming obviously changed lanes to get in front of the bike, and hit the brakes..
the guy on the bike was already locked up when he put his foot down, probably trying to keep the bike upright..

The motorcyclist should have seen that coming.

Don't know how many times I've seen this happen...on the motorcycle training range. It even happens when the rider is riding a scooter. After watching that video a few times, I don't see front brake application. But, I DO see target fixation and panic...

I thought the Butthead effects in the sound track were the best part!
