Default To good not to share...

My friend ran the Pikes Peak hillclimb this year...and badly misjuged the last corner he attempted.

Scary part is the audio after the crash

Add someone saying that about me, while I can't reply in any form or fashion, to my list of greatest fears.

Those guys have some serious nuts. I would love to drive the peak, in a very well built cage.

Scary.

I have been laying on a gurney and heard my heart monitor go from beep, beep, beep, to BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP.

Pain went away right then and I feel asleep. I woke up to the shockers being laid to me.



Going to sleep was 1000 times better then waking up.

I hope you friend gets through it alright.

WOW Stan, That's the shit! Glad your bud is doing good. Was that your new helmet came he was wearing?

That race is one hell of a good time. I've missed the past two years but made it hand full of times in the past. My friend Darrel got 4th in the Biker class this year and he's 49 years old. Take that young whipper snapper's!

Who ever said that was certainly not a trained in how to act and what to say in the event of a serious accident most course worker and all emergency professionals are trained not to say things like that.

Jay...not my helmet camera, I got LI/Ion powered helmet lights a week or 2 back...I know better than to try and put my riding on video, I'll leave that to the PRO's.

Yeah, the rubber marks in that corner were pretty evident. Bryan said he just forgot where he was on the course, got this corner mixed up with a different one. I remember taking him riding when he could just barely hold a bigwheel KX80 up. He's ridden some exotic machines in some cool places since then

I'll be going down to Fay Myers to look him up later this week.

Stan.
