farrelc Posted August 4, 2014 Posted August 4, 2014 Anyone have video footage of some crashes at Die Burger MTB Challenge? I came off my bike badly and know there was a rider with a GoPro behind me, would love to see it the footage. 2hr45-3hr in on 42km on papegaaiberg.
gwhite Posted August 4, 2014 Posted August 4, 2014 are you one of the riders who fell coming down the steep side sitting on the corner with your arm strapped up right?
farrelc Posted August 4, 2014 Author Posted August 4, 2014 are you one of the riders who fell coming down the steep side sitting on the corner with your arm strapped up right?Nope, my fall was on flat slippery section between the 2 hills on papegaaiberg, about 200m before last hill on a jeep track holding up traffic while 3 helpful cyclist dragged me off the track. Was a bit disorientated and wind totally knocked out, but got back on after 10minutes. Luckily nothing broken.
Pure Savage Posted August 4, 2014 Posted August 4, 2014 I got a video of myself bailing all on my own.
farrelc Posted August 4, 2014 Author Posted August 4, 2014 I got a video of myself bailing all on my own. Upload the vid!! :-) Makes having an action cam on the day all worth it. I left my cam at home by choice, now regretting it, silly me.
SWM1 Posted August 4, 2014 Posted August 4, 2014 I'd love to see a replay of the dude on the long downhill at Botmaskop who did a barrel-roll in the bushes with his bike and then ended upright and carried on. Epic move!
eelvio Posted August 4, 2014 Posted August 4, 2014 No one had their cameras out when I was stuffing around on the way back to the car, jumped a pavement and little did I know but I had lost about half the pressure in my front tyre. Needless to say it folded on me and I performed a special ground slide/kiss maneuver, there were about 20 people on the side of the road who either heard or saw it. Thankfully not too much giggling but more concern if I was ok. My wife decided to just carry on riding past because I was up so fast. Takes a special kind of dumbass to fall after the race and almost need stitches in the elbow. But the beers were good

Strange, myself and my dad had sudden punctures on the way back to the car too, we must have all crossed some thorn pastures on a paving somewhere.

Pure Savage Posted August 9, 2014 Posted August 9, 2014 Ja was on my helmet, first time using it. I landed with the wheel slightly skew, pumped tyre off the rim.
