I was thinking the same thing. The bike will absorb a ridiculous amount of the punishment if you let it (see Doug Henry) but I can;t say for certain he had much say in the matter here...he got seat-bumped pretty bad.
Pastrana in his first couple of years was beyond entertaining to watch race, dude had no in-between.
