Have you ever crashed so hard...

[Squier]

... that you rip both soles right off your shoes?!?!

 

 

Took a bit of a tumble at Big Red Barn on Saturday. Carried too much speed down a descent, into a drop off, into a corner... and subsequently, rather ineloquently, dismounted by tossing myself over the handlebars.

 

Now, I've gone over the handlebars before, but never have I ripped the soles of my shoes. I was wearing my Sidi Dominator Pro 5's which are about 18 months old. So, the shoes aren't new and have some mileage on them, but I didn't expect this. I'm baffled.

[Helpmytrap]

Hungry for more.

That must be the Sidi Knersus 6 model.

[Joe Low]

Good time to have installed some ventilation now that summer is coming.

Made from crocodile leather I suspect

LOL

 

You shoulda been riding with flat pedals :-)

 

Looks like the cleats/soles we're not ready to follow you over the bars

Not to distract from your fall....but sidi uses prit to glue on there soles..I have had 3 pairs and had to re glue them monthly.

[rouxtjie]

I say take the soles and epoxy them to a pair of plakkies or crocs....will make for a good laugh

[Vetseun]

Impressive!

[BushGoblin]

oh wow...

[LOOK695]

Are you at least still in one piece?

[rouxtjie]

I am not a sadist, but hell, I would have loved to see this lie down....must have been something Will-E-Cayote would have been proud of

[Journosergio]

Should always ask your dealer if the shoes are "crash ready"

Luckily, yes! Remarkably, hardly a scratch. Don't know how that happened. It was one of my harder crashes...
