So when do you consider that you have blown a turn/curve?

This was a topic of discussion on a local forum and i thought i would be interesting to hear from the TWF folks on this one.
Should make for some interesting responses

If I could commit to the line I wanted to take OR if I had to change course drastically because of the line I took.

I don't consider going through a corner slower as blowing it. There are corners at the track that I deliberately practise and practise and practise until I can gain speed. Smooth first, fast later.

Every turn or curve is blown, otherwise I'd be riding MotoGP.

When I am skidding on my ass out the other end of said curve or turn.

Anytime I've got to do an unplanned -for maneuver; on any new stuff I'll need to make little corrections; but if I've totally misjudged the turn and have to squeeze a handful of brakes, pick the bike up or slam the bars in harder than I planned; well, I know when I've miffed a turn....and I know because I'm pissed with myself..............

On the street, if you cross a line, you've blown the corner. Plain and simple.

I agree... crossing the line is a bit oh-shit.

Yeah my vote was either for this, or if you go off the road.
