If you listen close during the slow motion. You can hear that front brake squeel as soon as the rear tires come up. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

It looks like a combo of depression in trail, crimping wheel to the right, hitting brake hard, sliding forward on seat, and weight being forced to the left front.

I don't know how he managed not to be under it.
