Anatomy of Droppage...They gave YGD the one two skidoo!

I was going to make this into a gif but the more YGD command center debated we thought it was important to provide the user with top notch scene by scene droppage. We are only speculating here, but we think the rider whom posted these photos on the #MANBRA listserve is also our featured star for the day. Well done.

 

Before the race. Staging in the back of a 100 person field. Mistake Numero 1(red helmet with green kit also a mistake but whatevs!)

First lap in. Still in the field but wayyyyy back there. Remember these words #colinmustmoveup 

3rd lap in. This isn't looking good. Bruno Neto in the background looks lost. Sunny Gill looks like Captain America. 

Lengerman looking creepy behind the bushes. Our dude looking dropped...

Back in the MIX!!

Hot chick or something?

US Air Force Recap #1

From all accounts that I can find, everybody involved in this crash are going to be ok. Hindsight is always 20/20 and this race has been safe for several years the way is has been run. There was something in the air this weekend though that made for some extra high heart rate racing nervousness. Tough lesson learned for many. In my x # of years racing a bike and watching bike racing, this is definitely a first. Props to Ruggles for making a courageous bunny hop attempt at 30mph.

I'm hoping that this video doesn't distract from the real problem of Sunday's race. I took a picture of the road surface after corner #3 to illustrate.
