Have you ever crashed so hard...

[rouxtjie]

Ja, but with the crocs he can go to east rand mall. grappie julle

[Thomo]

Geez ... just how tight did you have your pedal release springs tensioned.? LOL

[Squier]

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

 

So would I! We need to get CCTV cameras on our trails.

[MTBeer]

reminds me of those Asterix and Obelix comics where they used to mo3r the Romans right out of their sandals.

That must have been Cirque du Soleil stuff though. Did you get to test your new Rudy Project dome protector in the process?

[NicoBoshoff]

Was it something like this?

 

[milky4130]

... 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.

I say submit to ASG or Sidi for a claim surely this shouldn't happen on a crash, probably out of warranty already, but give it a go anyway?

Thats strange, is your bike ok?

 

Or did you lose your tyres too

F#kc the shoes....what does your body look like??

Dropper posts don't help if you ride like an idiot.

 

That was the first thing I checked! lol My first thoughts, even before worrying about broken bones, were "oh f&%#, my new helmet!!!!" But, it's all good... except for the shoes, that is.

That must be the Sidi Knersus 6 model.

 

Minoura!

I know it takes away a lot of the effect when I say this , but I came off it relatively unscathed. Lucky, I guess...

 

My bike is fine as well. After the crash I duct taped my shoes and even still rode home.

 

Had a sore elbow and hip and a sore body on Sunday morning, but was back on the spinning bike by Tuesday.

For 2014 Sidi has release their ever popular Sidi Dominator Pro 5's now fitted with "Air brake ventilation" also known as ABV

LOL

 

You shoulda been riding with flat pedals :-)

 

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

 

Yip, and apparently if you were also wearing 5.10s they would have stuck so firmly to the pedals that you would have ripped the cranks off the bike.......

Contact SIDI and ask them about their crash replacement policy on shoes. (Who knows, they might have a sense of humour and give you 70% off on your next pair, like it was a helmet)

[Wyatt Earp]

I see all the okes are biting you hash about your shoes.
