Or... the Phase five, rear tire steer, "rump rod" assist without grease.

But not on THE gravel.
Crashing ?
There may be no corner shown, but its not a very wide angle view. ?
Could be oil or water on the track, bad brakes, the end of a speed wobble, gearbox bearing seizing as someone said, lost it on the last corner and is still crashing, arrived way too fast, etc etc.

" SAVED it " ? LOOKS LIKE HES JUST HANGING OFF LIKE THAT TO BALANCE IT UP . :? ( OOPS capslock . not re finging it )
All the SMOKE is from the FRONT TYRE . So he must be testing a aftermarket brake . Or someone threw a tennis racket through the front spokes .

Its not so much smoke as sparks arising off exhaust and maybe frame and broke off peg stub. Looks like he over did a turn out of view and is flying along the tangent with rear not yet passing to the lead to wipe him off or snag and hi side.
Its the stance I got Peel into to launch a phase 4 fly up save but not if rear that far out of line then only way to maybe save it is try to flat track it, keeping rear spun so don't snag and front can dolly while in direction of slide till back in line, before the edge. Tease me as you may you inexperienced ole farts but the way I was *forced* to learn this was run off THE Gravel into 45'ish degree ditch outside of sweeper, like a reversed hi speed Daytona bank at 40 mph with rocks/limbs in the bottom. Not to waste the seasoned experts time but this gave me "the big boob spiral climb" contest idea that survivors of Ricochet Rabbit Ridding Ranch and Rifle Range who can get to the top will earn-get a tatoo. If can match or beat me on Peel up then they can give me a red hot brand on my lilly white butt. This has no relationship what so ever to any hill climb you've seen, its more like a flat tracker event tipped on its side. You start 90's to the slope and will be so loose and steep if you get into hill climber straight on approach you wlll end up at the bottom to try again. Its official public name will be Pecos Bill Hill.
Peel got full sideways going straight ahead when rear came off the rim and I won - so my next Peel has 15"+ more fork range than any Commando you will likely see or ever need. A Gravel traffic jam forced factory Trixie off in same conditions but 30'ish degree ditch, tore her lower outside shock & mount out of swing arm on hi G load spikes to get back on grade then used care to weave and wobble on to work and back.
Oh yeah Pecos, got dumped off a wagon as infant so wolves raised him. Made him a farm out of a cone shaped Mt. Only had to fence the bottom ring and cattle could move to shade or sun as they liked but eventually had to grow one side of legs shorter or tended to roll down and collect on fence line. Dodo bird eggs were square not to end up below. Worked great till moving cattle to market on the level they ran around in circles d/t short leg side so got too thin to sell. Bring on the twisters and let have a blast.
