It's in nearly every corner in the country, including most racetracks. If you've crashed, it probably played a role. TDOT actually throws patches of this stuff down at the gap just for kicks.

Does the word "Chipseal" ring a bell?

( or Chip Seal depending on who spells it)

No, I was just throwing the typical squid excuses into the conversation for fun. I don't believe in tire break in, and I acknowledge most of my crashes were my fault.

I agree with the original post about the importance of crash analysis. Bad riders make excuses while good riders learn and improve.

I'm curious how many folks get the time slowdown effect and if they can successfully use it to save themselves from crashing.
Time dilation. They researched it. What actually happens is like the "Turbo" button on the old PCs; there's a momentary burst in "clock speed" of the brain. It makes everything seem like it's in slo-mo.

I don't think everyone gets it, though.

Got a link? I've never had the correct search word so I could read up on it
