dunefreak Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 I know this has been floating around quite a bit today, but for those who haven't seen it yet it is worth watching. It shows just how dangerous it can be to fly off a blind razor with no spotter. Be careful out there, guys. This dude was extremely lucky and it could have been much worse. <iframe width="640" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/A30JI4xC3sg" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam @ GTP Off Road Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 DAMN!! i hadn't seen that. that was crazy. That is EXACTLY why i don't plan on going on busy weekends, and that is what scares the sh*t out of me there all the time. I would have liked to have seen more of the bike and the rail, and the song was too long and loud compared to the other audio. Really though that was a great video to show how fast things can happen and what the results can be. I know many riders/ drivers are safe but it only takes one slip, one mistake from even the best/ safest rider or driver and BANG! I won't be showing my Fiance that video.

dunefreak Posted November 17, 2011 Author Share Posted November 17, 2011 That was last weekend at Gordon's. It was Veterans weekend but that isn't even a busy place let alone busy weekend. Busy weekend or not...it can happen any time. It only takes one guy making a bad call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But so true you never know what's over the hill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aceisback Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Damn! I hope that young man had REACH insurance. Best $25 a person can spend. Had a buddy lifeflighted out of the wash area at Glamis to San Diego after crushing some vertebrea in a mishap with a kiddie track. Got home four days later with the $36,000 statement already waiting on him. Big difference between 25 dollars and 36 thousand dollars. Glad the quad rider wasn't another second or so up the hill or he would've taken a head or chest shot vice the one to the leg and then I don't think we would have been watching this video. Ride safe, and straight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CharlesUFarley Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Scary stuff. I was almost that guy in the rail last March in Glamis. I had spotters and still nearly hit two young girls on quads. I was coming down Olds hill and jumping off the lip. Saw my spotters waving me off at the last second. That one second probably saved two young lives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Edgy Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 The place was not busy at all and that can still happen. Wow that guy was lucky. You cannot say enough about safety and spotting in those situations! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
