Imagine when he got down to the bottom
"OH MY GOD, you'll never believe what just happened, I was literally on the floor on a corner and I saved it!"
"Yeah yeah, couurrsseeee you were...."
Mint pic, great skills.

steveissilly (Nov 24, 2009 at 23:22)

naa, at the race there was a flagging system, red, to stop the people behind if there is a serious crash, yellow if the guy is already getting up, but just to slow the people behind down.
