I had a very similar get off last week at the local track. Except I was probably going half the speed and I ended up with a punctured lung from 2 broken ribs. Vibes.

Is Emig wearing the follow cam? Looks like two guys having a good time.

Yeah he is a tough dude!
I believe he even got hit by lightning once while out riding around Flagstaff somewhere.

He is definitely tough, at the same time it's hard not to laugh at the goofy crash knowing he is ok.

DA is a gnarley dude.

Man I love Millville! It's been some years since I've ridden there and seeing this footage makes me miss it! You have no idea how big and steep those hills are unless you have ridden there.

Goofy? Thats a high speed jump just before the whoops. He was probably in 3rd or 4th gear when he crashed.

lol, yeah i'm not sure what's goofy about it, the only thing worse than getting swapped sideways off a landing like that is going over the bars.

Practice day at Speedworld in Phoenix AZ. I was on the track with Destry and probably shouldn't have been. I rolled a double and the dude jumped over me. I looked up and slightly to the right and could see the bottom of his skid plate. Dude hauls some serious ass.

He's tough but that video is not the reason why. Lots of people have gnarly get-offs. There's a multitude of other (more flattering) reasons for his toughness. One particular reason that comes to mind is his showing at King of the Motos.

My favorite track by far! I love the WFO first turn. That made me want to go back also...

Yeah Destry said nothing's broken and that he was "just a little sore". Yeah, I'd say he's tough. And fast as hell...

Dude's better have got start money from the promoter and bonuses from the mfgr's. That didn't look one bit fun.

Thanks Guys! That was a weird crash for me! Just didn't get the lift I though I would and a bad move on my part! First time at Millville and I would say its one of my favorites (with Red Bud). Martin family and everyone else there were really cool too.

I've been putting in a lot of Motos getting ready for LL's (old guy classes). Hope to see you guys around!

The trails were awesome too!
