Is this what happens braking in the middle of a turn?

Some opinions welcome please!
 
First thing I see in this Photo is the Trike is virtually on/over the centerline of the road. From this angle, I can't see how much cut the Rider has, but I assume a lot because of the tightness caused by the really bad approach angle. This will cause the Trike to roll over excessively to the outside wheel. Strange thing in this Photo though, is it doesn't look that compressed on the right side...almost like the left rear wheel has very limited down travel (sag)...:xzqxz:

It is always best to come into a corner wide, looking all the way through it, and come out closer (not on) to the centerline. There are bad ramifications to late or hard Braking in corners, but rear wheel lift shouldn't be one with a Trike...and incidentally, I'm very familiar with the Road, Corner, and Photographer in this Photo.....RIDE SAFE.....ThumbUp :10:

It is not use of BRAKES(NO brake lights).

I can do that just about anytime by cranking on the handlebars.

Once the wheel comes up, the raised tire starts spinning and the other has NO traction.

Solid rear axle, maybe?
Or he's going too fast for the corner.
Combination of the two...:xzqxz:

It is not SOLID AXLE. CSC did not make a solid axle COBRA.
 
Too hot into the corner and wrong angle forcing him to steer sharper than he should have needed. Neither rider nor co-rider is leaning to counteract.

This is one of those turns on the Dragon that is highly banked so it doesn't take much to lift wheel.
 
Haven't been riding trikes long, so I'm pretty sure that would cause some underside pucker!! I'm still getting the feel for cornering on this thing and often feel like I'm pushing it too hard when I'm probably not even close.
