dude! CRUNCH
Poor guy!
haha, ive done that to my rear a few times using folding bead tyres, but i sure as hell hope it doesnt happen to my front like this!
as the description says luckly he was wearing a neckbrace. couldn't imagine the injuries off that one. looks bad
i like how when the pod is someone falling off their bike there is like twice the amounts of comments as their would be with someone just doing summin really cool...:L
-"What's that mark on the back of your helmet?"
-"oh it's jut my rear tire."
-"your REAR tire.....WTF?"
lol great picture
-"oh it's jut my rear tire."
-"your REAR tire.....WTF?"
lol great picture
two things...
-the inner tube came out of his tire lol wtf
-theres a speaker stuck to the other guy's helmet... is that normal?

Wow! I say one little comment that doesnt do any harm and I get -190 props. People are stupid (so was my comment).
haha, its pretty obvious the speaker isnt stuck to the guy's head, the rider is all out of focus and the speaker is in focus, and why would there be a speaker be on someones head anyway?! lol
I dont know.. I just didnt think before I wrote the comment. It just seemed weird because as you said, the only thing in focus is the speaker, it kinda looks (sorry if I have to say it but) photoshopped (those where my first thoughts).
the track at the top is real open with drift on corners, then drops into a mint fast kinda jumpy section, then into the woods with mint steep stuff, cross over a fire road, then it drops into a feild for the finsh sprint

everything gone wrong on that picture
- the guy eating dirt, the tube, even the guy in front has his wheels strangely "sinking" in the ground
and all of that make it such an awesome shot, POD!

i was there! i just turned around and one minute he was fine, the next he was eating the floor so hard, and his legs were like in the back of his head.
must of been a shit rim for in to just pop off. of maybe he let down his psi to much cuz it was wet at the top?
he couldnt help it the inner tube poped out of the rim id like to see a guy keep it up right wen that happens
have you seen how deep the ground is look at the other riders front wheel thats either soggy or has been rode in like that cool pic tho
ouch!! my mistake!! i never noticed the tube! there's no RIGHT way to deal with your tube getting tangled up in your front wheel! hope he's ok.
I was actually thinking about buying a leatt (neck brace today), this picture is going to make me buy it.

When was 3rd round then ? Didnt hear about this from HodgTom07, all i hear is that hes amazing!.
What would make a tyre blow out like that ? And is that why you run tubeless ?!

mine exploded last year at national champs race run and that was tubeless so you can't trust anything. Jim got lucky walking away from this one
Ok my bro in the blue jersey defo put that guy off chasing him down like that !!!! proper hard crash sore it was mental almost took bro out with him
This is 1 off the reasons i wear a Leatt Brace if crashes like that one happens,better wearing a Leatt than ending up in a wheelchair.

Go to racerxonline.com and check out the "tell me a story" section with Denny stephenson, there is an almost identical pic of Denny doing this on his Kx125, except maybe even a little gnarlier. Anyway check it out its funny too.
Everyone should try tubeless tires. Really. Less hassle, less rolling resistance, more traction, less danger of events like this. You will not regret it.

this is probably the worst POD i've seen. The riders are blurry, and i mean, it's just a guy wiping out. Not a good choice of POD imo.
haha, i think that this is one of the best PODs in a long while, that must have stung a little.. this photo has character.

that kinda stuff scares me the most, getting worked because of some kinda bike failure. makes me want to get a neck brace
[Reply]
i think i am going to buy a leatt just because i always see pictures of people eating it due to bike failure.
