Might have been, both points (apex and paint) are good. I'm pretty sure it was not debris as I didn't see any and had hand picked up any rock I saw on that corner. I was expecting a crash as they said they have several every year. I thought it was as close as I see to the limit/over it. FWIW the Euro kids are known to take corners slower than the USA kids. Different (over curbs and sidewalks), but slower.
At the risk of going 41 here I think when on the edge like that tire rubber, age and construction come into play a bit.
If you tilt my son's tire to that angle he was riding it is barely on the tread - if at all. Under load/cornering with a rider it behaves differently and more tread is on the road.
