javadude Posted August 9, 2015 Share Jeez, he hit that car hard. He wasn't going to make that corner in any case, totally misjudged it. pista 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butterbean Posted August 9, 2015 Share Yoh that's a seriously sickening bunch of crashes. The first one was horrible, the second one with the motorbike was bad too. Wow. Strongs to all the riders involved. pista 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pure Savage Posted August 10, 2015 Share Yoh, there is misjudging and then there is misjudging. Massive something failed? Looked like scrubbed of zero speed. Hope his ribs and pelvis heal quick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odinson Posted August 10, 2015 Share Chilling to watch, but if it wasn't due to a mechanical error (such as failed brakes), the fault lies 100% with the rider. There's no way in hell he would've made that switchback at that speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmycool Posted August 10, 2015 Share Ja, couldn;t see so great on the work monitor, but it looks like he did a stoppie just before impact...Yes, he went from a tail slide into a stoppie. If you play the video on 1/4 speed it is quite easy (and terrible) to see what happened and yes, if he didn't hit the car, who knows how far down the side of that mountain he would have gone.... joh.

Odinson Posted August 10, 2015 Share Wonder which is/was the lesser of two evils? Slamming into the Porsche or flying down the side of that mountain? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xcd Posted August 10, 2015 Share I believe he had a mental shutdown. His muscles took all the blood not allowing his brain enough to operate clearly.. (Deon) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrankG Posted August 10, 2015 Share The way that motorbike rides off after 2 people have just crashed into him, you would think he would do a u-turn and head back up the hill to warn other cyclists. xcd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xcd Posted August 10, 2015 Share I'm not sure whether this is a trolling comment or not. . I have been told by someone in the MtnQ team .maybe a Dr or someone with more medical knowledge can explain "mental shutdown " better.The bottom line is its very sad !

He wasn't going to make that corner in any case, totally misjudged it. Maybe the car block his sight for a split second and he thought the corner was a little bit further? Anyway this could not a pleasant experience...eish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
