look at the last part of that video again!! he says he's on the brakes so hard the frontend washes out? I didn't see the tire stop spinning one time I hit my brakes sometimes and it washes out, I know that it is caused by the tire locking up.
EDIT: also if you look closely, the only thing that made his frontend even look like it was washing out was the fact that his front end hit a dip right past that tuff block as he was coming into the corner.
Alessi turned into and aimed at tickle.
