JarradVZ Posted August 24, 2009 Share A mate and I recently did the Magalies Adventure. Things were going well on day 2 until about 45km in. We got to a nasty little, rocky dropoff. I made it down but heard a groan and a crash behind me. I looked back to see my partner eating gravel:Somehow it was all captured on candid camera! 1) There he is at the back.http://www.mihevents.co.za/Gallery2/main.phpg2_view=corenloadItem&g2_itemId=29478&g2_serialNumber=2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JarradVZ Posted August 24, 2009 Share He ended up losing his front left incisor, also a big lip laceration.He finished the stage, but I had to stitch him up in the afternnon.He then started day 3 but broke hi rear deraileur around 20km from the finish.Sometimes luck is just not on your side...

JarradVZ Posted August 24, 2009 Share No idea, some dude from MIH. He was pretty helpful after the fall. Can't believe he managed to get such quality shots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtbreath Posted August 24, 2009 Share Nice! Gotta frame the series for the poor boy. As for Azonic, I think we have all been caught out some time or another. Dirtbreath2009-08-25 01:26:31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
