Danny Hart Crashes at UK DH National Champs

Jul 23, 2017
by Pinkbike Staff  


Danny Hart was unlucky enough to crash during his qualifying run at the 2017 British Downhill National Championships at Rhyd y Felin in Wales on the weekend.

Despite this huge over the bars, he was still managed to qualify 14th, just eight seconds behind first place. Danny was a bit sore afterward but finished his run and raced to third place in the finals later in the day.

 @polarproton: Cairns was Brayton's nasty crash followed by a spectator crashing hard in the moto whoops while riding Brayton's bike to the bottom. They took the same ambulance.

 Actually, for going bad it didn't look too bad. His hands definitely caught the ground and kept his head up. That said how much must it mess with you to have your crash on the front page of PB? I go down without a soul to see it and I'm all mental after. He goes down and it's front page news! Poor guy.
