That is the funniest shit I have read in a while. So stupid. I was laughing my ass off awkwardly amongst a bunch of strangers thinking I was nuts. Stop the slow mo at about 6secs. That is a textbook scorpion.
Well, he blew up two separate bikes actually. I think the first time is the one you are thinking of where both wheels exploded during practice. This was the second time, second bike. He's a fucking animal.
This was the first time actually. This is his crash in training and second crash was when he was flipping the canyon on the finals. And yes, his rear wheel was also completely ruined after the crash on the video above. Check this: www.pinkbike.com/news/red-bull-rampage-2014-mcgarrys-crash.html
his back wheel dosent look that taco'd in this video, it must have gotten completely thrashed off that cliff cuz the original crash video and carnage pic tells a different story: www.pinkbike.com/photo/11457759
The rear wheel taco'd from careening off the cliff at 0:07, though much better the bike than Kelly, similar to Robbie Bourden at the first Rampage in '01...
Yup, but we are talking about the first crash in practice. There was a video of the crash the day that it happened without slow mo and at the end it showed the bike wayyy more thrashed than it seemed in this video. So i assumed after the bike rolled down the cliff it got even more bashed up and bike4christ confirmed that that was what happened.
Im pretty positive this article and video we are commenting on is from the event not the practice. Notice the spectators. That's why it tells a different story. I watched this crash from 100 feet away.
this is a nasty crash no doubt but i wonder how his back wheel came to be in such a state as it survived the impact from the landing but when you look at the pinkbike article on the crash from rampage his back wheel is completely destroyed! just a thought.
Yep, play it at 0.25 speed and you can see the front rim folds almost immediately on contact, which then (as it collapses) effectively slows down the front of the bike better than any brake ever could. Makes you think McGarry might have ridden it out - if the wheel held up.
Yeah, the wheel taco'd befor the forks compressed, which means that the head angle was so slack that combined with the rear wheel first landing, the front wheel pushed the forks forward instead of compressing the travel. So in the war between the marzocchi and the front wheel, the wheel lost.
(I mean, "mix of cheese", even your handle is funny random and f'd up.)

If he had a camo front 24" Double track wheel with a 3.0" gazza for some extra suspension travel he would have rode away clean.
And yes, his rear wheel was also completely ruined after the crash on the video above. Check this:

So Kelly was very lucky, good for him .
