spangle Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 Anyone seen the video of the crash at Cruikshanks in the parade lap? Looks absolutely bonkers. Riders weaving through marshals and wreckage, riders only just stopping in time. No wonder it was red flagged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilitantDogOwner Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 Why are riders going so fast that they "just stop in time" on a parade lap? Oh the Cult of Speed is alive and well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slinkydevil Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 It doesn't look that bad. Someone crashes and most of the other bikes stop. Cameraman goes a bit crazy on the zoom button was about as bad as it gets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loaghtan Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 Posted Today, 09:18 AM Anyone seen the video of the crash at Cruikshanks in the parade lap? Looks absolutely bonkers. Riders weaving through marshals and wreckage, riders only just stopping in time. No wonder it was red flagged. Dont see riders weaving in and out of marshals and wreckage unable to stop... seems that everyone stopped and allowed the marshals and medics to attend the injured rider...

Pierrot Lunaire Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 That looks like Biker Heaven. No, literally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
censorship Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 I don't see the problem. One bike seems to either take too wide a line or carry in too much speed and hit a safety barrier. Everyone stops well enough, there's no weaving, the marshals, as ever, deal with the incident professionally. One rider seems to have misjudged the corner and crashed, what's the issue?

Pierrot Lunaire Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 I agree. The only issue to me is that in the haste to capture a youtubeable scoop, the cameraman was found wanting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ballaughbiker Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 The only issue to meWell the only issue to me is that nobody has asked how the rider is. I hope he/she is not badly injured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well 3 or more bikes are clearly seen going through incident. Why would they do that given the state of the road and fact it is a parade and not a race. The number of marshalls and paramedics in road should indicate a fair bit of debris? Isn't a waved flag to slow down and be prepared to stop? what the footage doesn't clearly show is that the first rider was hit by the second bike and the other rider was in the road further up. The guy who videos here has the camera set up on a shelf and the crappy bit in the middle is when he went to get it and zoom in. Admittedly not the best.
