    That was a well spent 2 mins
    To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends. To appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded

    its a race...

    looks like he bounced off one bump into the next into the air crossed up?

    were those sparks from his rim? his toe sliders(too many for that!)? or what?

    Good clip but shit post about the clip.

    His front wheel was off the ground and it came down hard just as he hit the lip of the next roll in the road and the rebound just launched him so fast not a soul on this earth could react to it. Was all just reflexes and instinct. Easy to freeze frame it and critique every frame but get real dickhead.

    Some mod said keep it on topic and not to shoot the messenger. But come on - with comments like these.

    I concur. I was just thinkin, there was no way he could have avoided that tank slapper with the rebounding kicking him up, unless he slowed right down for that section.

    Regardless of what skid says, the guy is still a great rider (the dude in the clip, not skidmark, i thought i should clarify that)

    (and your post was on topic)

    No matter.
    He just kept his eyes looking up and forward and managed to ride it out.

    I M H O
    the sparks are definatly from his toe plate.
    too far away from the bike to be the rim, plus there is no tyre smoke or marking of the road which would happen if the rim /tyre were that far distorted to produce sparks, and I feel that if it wass, there would have been no recovery.
    How many bikes in this race would use steel rims anyway?
    Alloy wheels would be the standard?
    Racers please correct me if Im wrong
