Also notice #145 (My friend Jack) slam his fist on the ground after seeing his wheel fly off with part of his fork still attached. Major bummer. Luckily no one got hurt too badly though.

it looks like he got the worst of it, being high on the banking and then hitting the fencepole like that.
did you notice that the rider who caught air, bounced off the fence, and slid down the banking also inadvertently CAUGHT that HED3 that was flying through the air?

Exactly, that's why I said watch 126 closely...

So what's the rule when there's a huge pileup like that? Do they re-race? In that case it looked as if no one could continue.

It sounds like two guys had bikes functional enough to reride.

I thought for half an eyeblink that he was going to be able to come off the fence and continue down the banking.

Wohh, that was some crash. It didn't look like it was going to be much but then it keeps going. What happened there? Did the first guy get some kind of speed wobble or something?

That corner is apparently hard to keep control in if you aren't used to it, and I think he ended bumping bars.

The official word is they hooked bars.
That was turn 1, but I think turn 3 is harder to hold a line into. Really, either one of those turns are hard to hold a line into at full speed if you're not used to it.
