Why I DNF at Stromlo

[DNF]

Qualifying run at state round one..
tyre blew off the rim into the double on tripple treat section...
yep.. unlucky...
back on the bike soon enough hopefully.

 

[g-fish]

ouch.......

injuries? Look like you couldve broken something.

oh and hows the bike?

 

[Tristan23]

Grant, you were fucking pinning that section. I took a photo of you at the berm before the first of the triple set and thought "fuck me he's going fast!"..next thing I know everyone's freakin' out cos you got t3h 0wNzOrZz. And I didn't even see it.

Pretty epic.

 

[dezza10]

ouch. thats a fair old crash. was it at much speed?

 

[rabatt]

ouch, thats a pretty sweet crash, howd you come out?

 

[Kirky]

Well, talk about bad luck...

Least you had a decent stack.

Despite what your guardian angle says, you should have hit the jump. Faracloth would have.

 

[that_stoney_one]

to above...woah stuff that, im thinking new rim almost!


and at least u got some sick pics to show the babes

 

[dhdave199]

wow nice crash
you certainly killed thew rear wheel.

 

[Callan.]

Nice one Grant

Get your HT and come ride Sydney!

 

[jackrush]

jeez any injuries. how's the bike looking

 

[Dicky]

Nice stack.
Hope you're still in one piece mate.


That shot of Fairclough is nuts.

 

[Alec McJo]

That's awesome.

As long as bones weren't broken, It would be worth not finishing just to say "that's me in that picture".

Ouch any injuries?

Nice one Grant

Get your HT and come ride Sydney!

yeah man, i'm getting on the HT for sure, not making it all the way to sydney i'm affraid though. going to take some awaba DH on this weekend if i'm feeling up to it..

as for injuries, alot of damaged pride, and possible small break in my foot, and afew burst blood vessels (if you look closely at the first pic of my left foot you can see why)..
if i'm still limping around its advised i go get some x-rays, so hopefully i get over it and back on the bike no problems.

Bring on round 2!

 

[JonesyBIGHIT]
