more than likely. it was a low side and the front clearly washed out. probably not the abs model, and if it was, the fuse was pulled. Locked the brake while adding lean, basic mistake; easy to analyze in hindsight hard to realize in the moment, glad the rider is okay hope the bike is good to go to keep getting better because that's what the track is for B)
According to the rider as I loaned him my camera for the session, he hit the brakes and the front locked, which according to him is a common issue on overheated Ninja 400 brakes, I certainly have no info on that though. In the video and I am not sure if any of that footage is in any of the crash edits I uploaded you can see on the ground behind him where the front locked and laid rubber for a pretty long time before he lost the front. It has been a while since I watched the footage in 360 but if I remember he lost the front when he was about out of track and didn't really have any options as he was at the turn in point so point of no return really. The rider has no fear of running right off the end of the track and has went into the grass before without issue so I do find it hard to believe after watching the video he just grabbed ALL of the front brake and never let go, of course that is a possibility.
