Beegreenstrings Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 He handled the bike well. Stayed on through the entire 180 process... then bailed or was tossed.way to roll man!he is lucky the guy behind him was on the skids and did not roll over him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmh_sprint Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 I'm glad my kids weren't around when I was watching yesterday because holy fuck was what came out of my mouth when it happened. He had a bad day, to begin with he had to push started for the warmup lap because his bike died on the grid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jst2fst Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 Wow did a 180 I'd be scared shitless but he pulled through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReconRat Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 (edited) Me too, saw it yesterday, and all the replays. Spokes broke off on both ends, which is a typical failure when they go.edit: nah, they all just sheared once each...I sorta remember that rims need serious inspection after lesser impacts. Guess this is the reason why. It had to have been compromised in some way. Either road damage or manufacturer fault.
