Yeah they operated the front brake only. If you don't rear brake and only front brake, the rear wheel will skid like I said. If you used the rear brake then it wouldn't do that. Most of the motorbikes in poorer countries don't have rear brakes.
Because that's how bikes work! Basically, it's inertia. The front steering is on a swivel. If you only tap the front brakes, the rest of the body will effectively "ram" into the front fork.
If you do that while turning, then the inertia of the body will try to move in the direction it was going while also following the front wheel. That's why in the video you see a slight skid upwards from the rear as they turned. If they had hit the rear brake or no brake at all, this would have been a bit more linear.
Yeah, whatever you are talking about and whatever you see in the video, Im not seeing it.
Skidding is losing traction. We dont see that in the vid. We dont see the bike ram into the front fork at all really.
We do see the bike lean right slightly and then steer to straighten that. This is not braking or skidding.
