Wow, went out riding on the weekend down near Normanville and both ricky and his mate steve had some massive crashes.
This is what is left of steves Honda Sobe after a big jump ... and rough landing:
The frame split!
Ricky was riding a couple of seconds behind Steve and was the first to find his mate off the track after a big jump. Ricky turned around when he could and flagged down me and some other friends to assist. Ricky made sure he didn't move until we worked out his injuries. Luckily Steve broke nothing (this time) but he was banged up badly for a bit. The bike as you can see is worst off.
Later in the day, Ricky had his massive stack after a big jump and we got it on video LOL. Ricky was okay apart from a banged up elbow and some winding. He even had time to spring up from the crash and give us all the thumbsup after seeing Steves horror crash to reassure us (again) we didn't need an ambulance LOL. The killa pitty had no problems all day, and only the brake lever broke. I even got to ride it! The suspension was awesome!!!! Felt like landing on pillows. I can see why ricky was doing some big jumps with ease!!! Absolutely awesome bike, Ricky sure knows how to build them. LOL
Not bad for a day of 'running in' the bike! We're going to start calling these weekends 'dumb and dumber' LOL I was the only one not to crash. That only means I wasn't trying hard enough. Next time though!
Now I want Fastace forks for my bike now!!!
