Disclamer: This is a closed road with race staff watching every point of entry to prevent any traffic. I don't condone crossing the yellows when riding open roads.

You made that look damn near nonchalant, dude! Holy hell!

No major injuries, I hope?

were you running from the cops? wtf you just got up and ran

I guess I should report that due to ATGATT philosophy I came away without even a bruise. Hard shell knee guards and a full armor top under the jacket kept me unbroken.

I was still on the clock for that stage of the rally so I wanted to get to the finish ASAP. I would have pushed it to the finish if I had to. I bet some spectators would have joined in since there was only like 1/4 mile left.

That's a lot of beef jerky left behind.

Glad you're OK..

Holy shit!

If a big bug hits my helmet I stop for longer than that.

I've got to toughen up a bit.. It took me longer to get up from my CPU monitor after watching that the it took for you to get going again !!!
Glad you are OK!!!
Take two attaboys out of petty cash for the Atgatt thing.

That made me flinch just watching it....glad you are OK. Unbelievable.

I'm sure it wasn't funny at the time, for you, but I can't help laughing every time I watch that. F*ck, that was awesome. You never skipped a beat.

Awesome....your vid is going slightly viral on Facebook.
Did the deer run off?

No comments about crossing a double yellow and going around a curve in an oncoming lane! :eek1

That was an awesome video nonetheless.. It should be captioned " like a boss" when you tore ass away!

:eek1
I'm kind of lost for words.... Getting over that line must have been really, really important!

Glad your OK.

This video kind of makes me wonder if you are actually Wolverine from the X-men movies...

Disclamer: This is a closed road with race staff watching every point of entry to prevent any traffic...it's an awesome event...I recommend everyone try it...I'll post up some of the videos of the other 12 stages soon as proof of how fun it is to bomb down public roads knowing there is no oncoming trafffic!!!

Damn dude. You are hard core and took that like a champ. I don't think I even heard you bitch. Any major damage to the bike?

Scraped the swingarm and one of the Deer Busters but nothing major.

Here's an example of what most of the stages look like....only two of thirteen were tarmac....the rest look like this but longer. Wicked fun!
