    saw a thread on reddit that says he was braking just before the speed wobble launched him off / bailed (brakes grabbed) - but to me just looks like the speed wobble took him down

    There are a few things he shouldn't have done.....holding a camera on a stick, looking at your remote, going that fast without extra protection, downhill on a road with other traffic.....he was wearing a helmet luckily

    I watched again he was braking 100% and the board kept picking up speed - so notwithstanding he had a speed wobble and crashed it would have been good if he clarified the remote disconnected and or was being ignored. Imagine this video but on a huge steep hill ...

    Or when he says 100% during the narration the board was fully charged and was ignoring further regenerative braking (it couldn't dump any more in the battery pack so just didn't brake)

    I think it is what you said last. Board was 100% charged so no braking and he just went for it. Then I guess when the speed wobble hit he shifted his balance (he moved his foot also just before he fell) and lost control.

    Is my board OK? Note to self: Tighten trucks and pad up for higher speed (a stiffer deck would also help).

    Lol. Thats what I look like after today. I belatedly discovered the trucks come out of the shop pretty loose. Worked that out at 27kmh...splat.
    My lid has a huge scratch up the side. The rest is just skin rash.
