There's nothing wrong with it, but the next straight is a big lookout where tons of people gather and photographers all line up there taking pics to sell. (rockstorephotos.com). Tons of distractions and everyone wants to look like Hayden in that corner so they look awesome on the photo that they're too cheap to pay $5 for.

Mulholland is the road that leads to the fun roads, it's not the destination. Except for that tight part above the rock store.

I ran mullholland once too, nice road, but as stated above people push beyond their limits when the photographers are there.

Nice... i like how you get the slow-mo where you can see him looking at the guardrail over his right shoulder

A number of those did seem like they just lost traction for no particular reason, tho
