I want to know who the guy was who said "get out the way", from about 100 bikes deep. WTF?

It proves that B riders are nice.

I would have so rode over a few and got back on my way.

Wowzers! Gnarly. It appears no one got hurt? Could have been very nasty. *well besides that one guy who appeared to be the first rider down...

Amazing.

Two things with that, one, that is why when I'm racing, I take it very easy in the dust...and 2, I notice that a lot of those bikes don't have desert tanks...which means they aren't offroad racers-at least regularly...which means they aren't experienced in the dust (compounded by the fact that they are beginners). A bunch of socal "bro's" out trying their hand at offroad...and that, in and of itself, is scary.

I had seen the first vid a few days ago and thought it was crazy, but that second view was insane.

Looks like a Skull Creek scramble. Ive raced there and couldnt even seem my Scotts stabilizer much less the trail.

It sucks that happened, but when you cant see the trail when racing offroad, you gotta slow the hell down. Going WFO while blind isnt smart.

I have 2 screws, 2 pins, and a wire holding my left elbow together due to my last time trying my hand at offroad racing (1995).... similar incident with far fewer people!

All I remember is thinking... stay loose, stay neutral on the bike, grip the tank with my knees and just cruise through the dust....then silence as I went fying over the bars at about 65mph like a dart into the ground and shattered my elbow... needless to say that was the day I swore of offroad crap and stuck to the tracks!!!

Quitter! Ride smarter next time and get back in the game. Wink

Oh yeah, and definately wear elbow protection trees are harder than tough blocks.
