Andy Posted May 13, 2007 Report Share Posted May 13, 2007 Anybody got video of me being twatted by the bike that flipped upside down? I'd really love to see what the hell went on as I was looking at the screen on the camera at the time and didn't even realise anything had happened till I got this sudden pain in my shin where the bash plate hit it.

perce Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 I'd like to see the one of you & the guy next to you discussing how much room you both needed whilst we waited for the riders to arrive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fellonmelug Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 Andy , directly oposite where you where sitting was the massed ranks of the North East Centre ( well about a dozen actually) we had a great view of the incident ! unfortunately I am sure nobody amongst us had a video camera. The guy on the Mont that hit you had made a decent enough go at the step but was really strugling, he was right at the top of the step with the back wheel spinning and getting zero grip. In desperation he gave it full throttle max revs The bike launched itself upwards in to the air chucking the rider off backwards , the bike reared up and then went directly to the scene of the accident , upside down . I was suprised how quick you got up coz it looked really nasty . My better half has a picture taken just as the rider steps off the bike if you want it i can send it to you?

My better half has a picture taken just as the rider steps off the bike if you want it i can send it to you? It wasn't as nasty as it could have been. The bike came straight down then just tipped onto me - at least that's what I think happened as it was so fast I've no idea. Wouldn't mind seeing the pic. Can you email to trialscentral AT trialscentral.com Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigfoot Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 I had agreed with Hemmo that I'd be there to help get him out of the section. I worked great with him coming bouncing off me in the middle of a flick turn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bucki3 Posted May 26, 2007 Report Share Posted May 26, 2007 Andy, that would be a Mr Rockett, #188 that decided to give you his bike! 10 out of 10 for effort though, it was VERY slippy first lot through Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
