6 for technical merit

Oh shut up meat head!! Go push that pencil some more!

HAHA... just kidding BurlySurly!

Sweet pics, I think he had to much stuff in his camelback notice how it seems to be pulling him to the ground! Yah that's it. And once that silly pump comes out we starts to upright!

:beer:

Tron falls (sorry he looks like a character from a movie) and 2 girls run up to help him. hmmmm...sounds like he got a good deal :D...

BTW great pics...still photo or ripped from a movie?

Funny you should mention the Camelpack... after the fall, Alan had broken the tube from the water to were you drink, and it spilled all over the back of his head. So he was lying on the ground with the water spilling out the back. When you're dazed and confused, warm liquid on the back of your head is never a good thing! :) He thought it wasw blood!

Maelstrom: This was from my still camera.. I wish I had a video camera on at the time!

Joe

Maybe someone should explain to him what the rebound control on the shock is for.:D

Great shots. But I have to go with Mael on this. That armor does look like something from "Tron".

:beer:

No girls ever run to my rescue when I'm laying broken on the ground.


:(

OHh man musta hurt....were u just standing there taking pics when he took the hit??? lol

I bet this hurts him more than the crash. Lost his suckie thing:(

Saw it coming in the third pic.

Great set of pics, looks like a Pro took those shots? As an ex-photographer I am very impressed. Looks bloody painful though.

CHEERS.

Thanks Mark.. I took the shots, I'm not a Pro.. photography is just my hobby... keeps me busy in between runs downhill!

KleinMp99: Heh, that's the part of the tube that was behind his head! The frog lips where still attached, but the tube was cut from the back.. oh well, time for a new bladder (To go with a new kidney, lung, rib... :) )
