Whoa!
I have no idea, but that was MEAN!

[ALTRON]

Yep. That was from a 600 supersport race a few years back. The Yamaha blew laying down oil all over the place.

I remember it well

[onearmedbandit]

No idea, but someone should've been waving those oil flags much earlier. (it seems after the first bike 'blows' that it took a while for before the last bike went down.)

Anyone remeber the 500cc GP where Kevin Shwantz (sp) grabbed the flag from a marshall and started waving it.

Anything with Baiggi throwing a tantie at Rossi is funny in my books.. :rofl:

[Coldkiwi]

yeah.. 2003 supersport series from memory in one of the European rounds. The guy who just escaped with his head was Jorg Teuchert I think. Life changing moment I would've thought

Duck??? He was still in motion - absolute fluke - must have used up about 5 years accumulated good luck in that millisecond. Good thing the left side of the bike fell on him too.
...right side = super hot exhaust + scared to approach safety marshalls = :no:

[Coldkiwi]

Woah that is scary

I think so.

Looks like it might've been the Silverstone round judging by these results and looking at the number of retiree's on laps 2 and 3.

Lets hear it for inflatable barriers huh?
Shame Pukekohe can't be that organised/financed for the bike races :no:

[Coldkiwi]

Assen 2003.
Are you sure? (http://sbk.perugiatiming.com/calendario.asp?p_S_Campionato=SSP&p_Anno=2004#)

the original video post on Up on One was in August 2003. Assen wasn't run till October. Not enough crashes then either (looked at least 3 bikes in two laps) judging by the results page

It is Assen no doubt i remember watching it, was quite some time ago, before 2003 i think, its in the braking zone going into the chicane and even on a 600 they are approching at near on 230kph, last time i raced there i was near on 260kph coming out of the left hander with the back end stepping out and spining in a major way, just hauled it up in time to block Rossi into the chicance and take the win, highlight of my season, love PS2.

[DingDong]

Wow :clap: not a place i'd want to be

[MagicMarker]

OUCh... that didn't look very nice.. How many bikes crashed? i think i lost count

[SuperDave]

Lucky dude, almost lost his fucken head. Good thing for those saftey barriers, they seem to do a great job provided a 160kg+ doesn't fly into you.

[mini_me]

havent seen the clip, but if i am thinking of the same crash it was yamaha christian kellner's r6's that popped and it was back in mid(ish) 2003 and he slid off the track and into a big blow up barrier and was just missed by his bike
is this the same one?- cant remember where it happened though
m/m
