Hi All,

I am looking for the the rare video footage of Shane Tritler landing on the back of the seat (without bike like riding double!) of Damon Huffman's bike at the Vegas SX Finals in 125 Main.

Damon has never seen it but hears it exists. Mike Kiedrowski says he has seen it . It was not captured by TV crew but a fan.

Does anyone knows where this might be? PM me if you know.

Thanks!

Todd

Devin,

Give us a call and we can help you sort out that tape.

Thx,

Todd

That whole thing happened right in front of me, literally. Huffman was leading with Hughes in second and I was third or fourth. The video footage only shows the ending of the sequence but it's still worth a look. The step-down that brought you back into the stadium was pretty big and the physics alone for something like this to happen are mind-boggling... right up there with string theory. Huffy pulled to a stop at the bottom of the jump and let Shane of... I think he either won the race or finished second to Ryno. Hope someone can find the clip.

I remember seeing the film footage of it, but I vaguely remember it didn't really have a good shot of him landing on Huffman's bike, just Huffman pulling over and letting Trittler off the back of his bike.

I’ve spoken to Damon and Shane both and neither one had seen any footage. Shane’s dad Jack was offering a reward for video footage.
This is one of those things that is hard to comprehend, why wouldn’t the TV cameras be on Damon, who was leading the race ?!
To this day, I’ve never seen ANY in the footage. Let’s see what ya got....

If you are reading and haven’t seen the 94 Vegas Supercross, here it is. I wasn’t there but I had to see the jump y’all were talking about. That’s some backyard engineering. Oh and the incident takes place OFF camera at 28 minutes and 28 seconds in.

We should start a GoFundMe so somebody can buy it and put that clip on the internet.

I can't do it. I don't have one of those fancy VCRs.

I really feel like if there were actually footage of this incident out there somewhere, it would have surfaced by now.

I mean, it’s been 26 years.

I am pretty sure there is and I think it was only shown on the highlights in the following weeks after the incident.. and perhaps just 3.5-4 seconds of Huffman pulling over to the side of the track and letting Shane off the bike. That is all.. very unexciting footage. I am not quite sure if it showed Shane getting bucked off the bike (my memory is hazy on that one point), but I believe I never saw any footage of him actually landing on Huffman's bike. itself. Just the aftermath.

I think the crash actually happened in the heat race and not the main. Back in the day they only showed the main event for the 125s and that's why there's hardly any footage of that crash

I don't have the footage, but I was right behind them when it happened! I was focused on the jump and saw Shane and Damon take off in front of me. When I landed, I didn't see Shane's bike anywhere, and then I see Damon slow to a stop at the bottom of the landing [it was a long landing that came off the old dressing rooms for the players] and Shane hopped off. Craziest thing that has ever happened in SX.

I was there watching and saw it. It definitely happened in the main.

Ping- how insane was that track (I just watched the race)? Uneven whoops, weird jumps, and launching up over the locker room in what looks like a completely blind jump? Despain said the track was easy but dudes were face-planting left and right. I was wondering what it was like ride that deathtrap.

I’ve seen the footage. When I was like 10. All I can remember is the shot of Huffman stopping and Trittler hopping off the back. Don’t think espn or anyone caught the actual footage of him flying through the air and landing on his bike.

Yeah I saw that too. Not on the show, but Huffman won 4 races in 93 while going to school. 94 he won the championship. In 95 he dominated. Only 125 rider to have 20 consecutive podiums.
