Endo on its own, agreed, is not indicative of speed. Crossing most of a 4-lane intersection in 3 frames (1/10th of a second) indicates insane speed.
The endo indicates “oh shit, I screwed up and am panic braking, and also I am bad enough at riding a motorcycle that I can’t manage my braking.”
no but how much ground he travels in 3 frames does, even if the camera recorded at 15fps he was still traveling well over 100kmh. Most video is 30fps though, so … yeah.
This is a modern bike with ABS.
i agree he’s goingfast-, but endo braking doesn’t always mean oops I screwed up, it is often another driver violating a traffic law and suddenly safe riding becomes imminent impact.
I see the bigger Indictator of speed here is how the bike reacts after impact, it still had a ton of energy to launch vertically, instead of just falling down beside the car
