Re: Ouch

Did you notice at the end of the video he was staggering do you think he was drunk whilst on that bike?

Re: Ouch

The guy just crashed off a mountain bike at 172Kph! I think you'll find that's the sort of effect a crash like that would have on you. I'm suprised he got up at all.

Re: Ouch

Seen it on one of those programmes on sky a while ago.

Apparently, the bike had various mods to perform the task, but, lets face it, pedal bikes were never designed to go that fast. You can see that the frame peeled away from the front forks due to massive stresses.

Good viewing tho!
