My mate "hitting" the wooden berm on Wodody's wobble at the Cli-machx.

    Is the blur because you're hitting that at about 40mph?

    That berm is quite tricky, the bump up onto it, and the angled turn half way through, took me some thinking time to give it a go.

    I think he got too high on the first half, combined with the front tyre pinch flatting on entry it just slid down the berm and he went over the bars, simplez :lol:

    Not so difficult with a high speed burst on a proper professional camera, there's a whole sequence of pics of that crash. Still a great shot though.

    When you take into account he's 6'4" as well, it's a fair bet thats how far he fell
