Doooooom!
Tony grabs a little air and a lot of dirt on my Pugsley. He was OK, as was the bike.

doode, are you alright?!!!
why the winter bike?
I had a crash today on Quickie - sore rib, my heel hurts enough not to step on it, and I need new front shifter
Anthony DeLorenzo (59 months ago | reply)
It's actually my buddy from down South, and he was more or less alright.
Why the winter bike? It's a hell of a lot of fun to ride at any time of year. Probably not the best for jumps though. :)
I fell off the stupid teeter totter last week on Quickie/R&D... Not doing that one for a while.

Fantastic capture. It's like "faceplant 101". The bike's at right angles to the ground and he's parallel with it. Brilliant!

Yes, I survived but did have my first real flight on a bike! Was fantastic. Tony, thanks for introducing me to some of the great dirt around Whitehorse. Can't wait to get back!

not... ;)
Anthony DeLorenzo (59 months ago | reply)
Thanks everyone for the concern, my friend Tony was basically OK. From here he went completely over and landed right on his back, scraped it up somewhat but no face plant. He also got a decent bruise on his knee, probably from the bar or frame. All in all, a lucky crash!

looks like a photoshop job to me...strange that his feet seem planted on the same plane and body positioned as if he was standing over the bike? no?

Anthony DeLorenzo (59 months ago | reply)
I can assure you the photo is real, although I do admit he looks completely wrong in that position. I have the four previous frames from this burst.
