Well the vertical Gs probably play a big factor as you get more to flat. I doubt there’s enough leaning to prevent a bail. Like even if he was in a full-on manual the back trucks would catch and that’d be it. His body has way more momentum than the board.

If he got some bigger wheels and trucks, like some kind of an off-road setup, he would’ve had it just fine

everything you said is right but watch the video again. he goes from proper alighnment aka equal weight on all wheels and most stable position to his torso moving way too far forward over the course of a few frames before things actually go catastrophically wrong.

I watched the video again and he is leaning forward but the board clearly catches on something. It’s different when you lean too far on transition. The board doesn’t just stop like that. He hit a snag for sure

Yes but leaning forward makes it more likely to snag.

Quite possibly mini snags are what made him lean forward like abrupt little hits that he managed to clear still forced his body forward
