yea...I was leaning right hard on a corner that was actually somewhat banked (and a bit gravelly)... I thought the slope of the road would give me clearance, but I overestimated....anyways, I pedal struck then the rear of the bike slid out hard to the left, and I tried to compensate (as I usually do on skids) by turning a quick left, but I was going so fast that turning left kinda just stopped the bike and I went flying over the bars...had a moment of airtime, shoulder hit first and then rolled

I wonder how the fall might have been different had I not tried to straighten out
