He is awesome
That was spectacular riding man. Great overtakes. Set them up brilliantly and made them cleanly. Looks like you carried just a little too much speed in that last corner. Sometimes leading the pack makes you loose those reference points from the rider ahead of you. Nonetheless magnificent riding.
Had a good run going but got in a little hot. Nice work tho.

Nice Supersport ride.Thought the front was down twice on the final lap...riding top drawer,raced everything that moves,chequered flag was yours.neat.
Caldwell full is my favourite..... Ya had a mega ride until ya school boy reared it's ugly head
Good riding...you're certainly a racer.
Need one more gear! You were looking for it!
Save your self 5 minutes and go to 5:00, Your welcome
Good riding that was !
I see the problem, too much weight on the back of the bike; try reducing the size of those massive balls
Cawh was getting tight into that nice riding
As soon as i heard you were a gear higher than the previous laps i could just sense something coming. Looked like the gear higher pushed you on a bit through hall bends, missed the braking point and then the combination of less engine beaking and a hastily approaching barrier lead to a handfull of right digits squeezing a bit too hard! Was enjoying it though. Could you maybe go down a tooth on the rear sprocket to give yourself a few more revs of leeway? Looked to be running out of revs in a couple of places?
nice riding, people always lowside on that corner but once youve done it once you wont do it again 😂
Pushed then reached sir! 🏁❤️
Hi great riding, shame you got a bit excited, it happens, like the old saying goes shit happens just happens to everyone, haha haha
I enjoyed that.
Bugger .
Great race!
Stunning riding 👍
I noticed that before the crash you went one gear higher than the lap before.. hence increased cornering speed also put higher load on the front tyre... Just an analysis from my side..
Man that sucks but what an awesome track
Great riding nice and patient. Just a little to hot into the corner.
Have you thought about going 1-4 less teeth on the rear sprocket? Seems to be topping out way too easy. Also, drop the pressure in the front by about 5 lbs, looked liked once the front got warm it got a bit too much pressure so the tyre wasn't gripping enough, hence the low side.
I thought that the sprocket setup was actually quite ok.. considering the nature/layout of the circuit (difficult to pass, a lot of corner, short main straight)..
Damn dude, my heart was in my mouth the whole time leading up to that!! Such a crazy track to race on, and looks like a tough place to make a pass. You had some awesome pace, though. What did you learn from the crash, if you don't mind my asking? Looked to me like you were pushing the front pretty hard in most places. I made a prediction while I was watching the video that it would be a front end crash.
Where he made the first pass as you crest the rise on a 1000cc bike you are just on 161mph, you then have to absolutely jump on the brakes to get down to 85mph for the corner, so it was a good move but is a prime overtaking spot at Cadwell, the next move is actually much more impressive you can't see it in the film but it is actually a really steep hill so when you hit the brakes the forward weight transfer is huge especially wrists and chest muscles, in my view a really tough move that he pulled off well a lot of people fall off there (Me included!). Where he falls off is a nasty 1st gear hairpin about 20mph, off camber and downhill, its always quite slippery there, leaves off over hanging trees etc and seems damp even in summer, approached through a 70mph chicane, the bike is very unsettled, the temptation is always to brake later, it always feels as though you are dead slow... then the inevitable you tuck the front and down you go... The other favourite is high siding out of it, you want to get a good run out onto the main straight so gas it earlier and earlier until...
@@Percivallis Wow that is an awesome description! Sheesh that is a crazy speed for what looks like a really narrow track. I think he's on a 600 in this video, but he's got it absolutely tapped out by the time he hits the brakes on that first pass. Faaaast. And on the second pass I was definitely aware of the downhill, although I guess it's steeper than it looks on video. I'd really like to go ride there... along with all the other awesome track's I've seen: Oulton, Donington, Silverstone, Brands... what a blast that would be!
@@AaronCohn84 Yeah looking back they are 600's hence the screaming engines! He'd be about 140mph instead of 160 down Park straight, the downhill though is really steep, it always feels as though you are running out of brakes! And yes Cadwell is very narrow its like riding flat out down a country lane! Cadwell and Donington are my favourites, Silverstone is a bit disappointing its very fast but very wide and flat it lacks a feeling of speed even though you are 180mph in places! Brands is brilliant, Oulton is like Cadwell very narrow, very very fast and narrow, I don't like it, to be honest, it scares the daylights out of me, there is next to no run off so every accident is big! Best tracks ever in Europe if you get the chance Catalunya in Spain and Brno Czech is mind blowingly awesome you need a litre bike though...
@@Percivallis why a 1000
@@donp9898 You need loads of horsepower, especially Brno where you have a very steep hill which is actually known in MotoGp as Horsepower Hill everywhere is wide and fast, same for Catalunya another awesome track with huge speeds. A 600 will be fine but you'll have to scream the nuts off it all the time!
it's nice to see a good rider from time to time, really well done with the clean passes. I don't know if you breaked a little bit too hard there or why your front dumped like that but you are definitely a very skilled rider
Awesome Mark very commited in that pea soup
Scary fast. Brill riding. All the best
Great video. Thanks for sharing and glad you’re ok
Nice Fucking Ride man Get em next time!
I have crashed there too.
Thought you had a torque advantage not hp. When you short shifted(if down to 11000 counts) seemed you made good ground. This isn’t a criticism just an observation. Really enjoyed watching.
Very good riding 👏👏👏 shame you came off because you manage to overtake 2 other racers. I did enjoy the video until you came off, great effort though! 👍
Mate, you were 'having It' until the crash. Hat's off to you.
Well ridden mate! Lovey riding 😁 shame about the slip off but hopefully you were ok and the bike not too badly damaged 🤙🏻
I couldn't believe that happened. Oh well that's racing folks. Awesome stuff
Thanks for posting; some great riding and hope all OK - and great sound track. Go well.
You've got the talent completely wrong there Mark. You're clearly quick. Corner speed is excellent. Self preservation prevents us from doing what we cannot. Unfortunately more often than not the equipment we use has a limitation. I would be wise to sit down with John Bradleys Books or an old hand and try and understand where and how things can be improved. Btw as soon as you stopped forcing the bike to 16k through the corners your speed shot up. Dramatically.
What's the bike ?
1995(ish) kawasaki zxr 400, the other two bikes are the same too but everyone has differing states of tune and weight ect...
@@DeadFishy1988 very nice !!
Is the camera on the yoke?
Yep, its a gopro hero and the mount i use sets it back a bit aswell
Enjoyed that 👍 In a high revving positive way 👌 Hope the damage was minimal
Gutted for you, you were doing some seriously great riding on the slower bike.
Wow always on the red line, you were much better on corners, position and late brakers, just short on straight line. Cadwell is a very technically challenging circuit, you really need to know it to be in it.
Brilliant riding but its know to be slippery there. Glad you're ok and hope that the damage was minimal.....
Great riding.... you found the limit
Sorry this might be inappropriate, but why does the guy in front of you remind me of a polar-bear on a moped? 😂
i was predicting he would highside..or lose the front going into that downhill left hander...but was wrong.
That was brilliant riding right up to the point where you fell off 😆 well done anyway👍🏻
Lol!

I could never get that corner right nice ridding though 👍🏻
Oh man, you were going so well.
