Video: Duck - Racing crash

[doub1etap]

A friend sent me this link to racing crash. Some of you may have seen it. (it's the one where the guy hits the barrier, ducks, and the bike comes right over him)
Multiple camera angles of the bikers and corner workers running like hell as more bikes are incoming. good fun!
What happened to that guy's tire?

Holy @#%&!

Looks like that flying bike grazed his helmet pretty good. Pretty surreal watching the first rider sliding in slow-mo.

Yea, I saw the race where that happened, some oil was on the track and like 4 riders went down hard, in like a 5 second window before they could get the red flags out.

I have seen it before, just not all the other angels, that was pretty dope.

I saw that race too. That was the scariest crash I've ever seen. I was screaming at the TV for everyone to stop 'cause bikes kept flying into the barrier like bullets. It's shocking that no one got crippled.

Damn that guy almost got his head taken off.....It's all fun and games when someone losses there head:D

here's a nasty crash... the corner workers tried to help and got themselves into a very bad situation.

that video was NUTS that guy is so lucky to be alive...

[bloodclot]

you have to give a lot of respect to the first guy that crashed, after he limped off the track he went back out there to help the corner worker that wasnt moving. and he had to have been in a huge amount of pain too.

[Burst]

yup.... he couldn't even limp off the track... he crawled.

[Rudeboy]

what the hell happened by the way? Did they guy just lock up his rear tire? Or was that a burnout/lockup combo??

[BluBallz]

i think they said it was oil on the track

Yea, that first bike that was billowing all the smoke, was also dumping all of its oil on to the track

[stingray]

yep, dumped oil on track. he was pratically straight up when the front gave way.

we had that happen recently @ an AFM race. though it happened @ the start and nothing serious came of it.

[POI]

that guy was really lucky he didn't get tagged by that bike. Woulda kilt him fer shure....close call.

[Golden_Eternity]

Every time I see the title of this thread, I think its about a rider running into a duck...

[FLSVRider]

That bike made like the Exxon Valdez and dumped a huge laod of oil.

Remember last year a Laguna when Colin crashed on someones oil and he ran over to the corner workers and grabbed the red flag to warn other riders....and stop the session.

He is tha man.
