Not so hot dismounts in action

what happened just before...seems you slid out a bit there but maintained...then not so fortunate the second time round.....

 

is it spectacular enough to try win an evoc bag?

 

Had 1 foot out for the slide (it was a dodgy corner) bike was sliding as usual then as everyone who has ridden cascades in the wet can tell you, I lost the front end on some clay, the front wheel then caught the rutt that had formed and thats when I collapsed onto the bars and got chucked over.

 

Is there a bag up for grabs  :w00t: ?

 

My proud moment from that weekend was that I was only 20 seconds behind Mr Minn on race run  :clap:

Now I understand that dude number 5 freaked out when he saw it was a large gap so decided to aim to miss the landing, thus going in the bushes. But WTF was dude number 6 thinking?

 

Hilarious is an understatement.

was dude number 5 not coming In with more speed than number 4 and would've landed on him or made contact on landing.he tried to scrub some speed(to much and bailed to the right)...agreed though 6 was deermekaar.

Nice one Fanie, seems we subscribe to the same FB page )

 

I had a slow speed dismount at Slipperfields on the weekend due to lack of momentum bc I was struggling to clip in just before a small uphill section. My friend got in on the GoPro, I'll post it when I have the footage. I told him beforehand not to take the camera, those things make people fall :P

If they weren't so expensive and needed proprietary hubs I'd have one. Saw this vid a while back and I must say the rigidity is impressive:
