Dropping a 465lb bike in mud (Dakar 2012 - stage 8)

lift!!! lift!!

wheres Alex Gold when you need him!:smiley:

jeez heā€™s lucky to walk away from thatā€¦ had the bike landed on top of him it would have been game overā€¦

Thatā€™s a bit of a cop out, thereā€™s no footage of the bike being lifted!
Is each rider responsible for their own ride? Do they help each other out (if so, who sets of first)?

Come one Pan, find the vid where he hefts it out of that horrible mud on his own!

challenge accepted :smiley:

@05:48 ā€œthe camera men and the rest of us not allowed to help of courseā€ but the other rider helps out

Well done.

Looks horrible/ great fun!

Good clip - I saw it on the TV.

I gather the controversy was the 2nd guy came over to help the 1st guy ā€¦ then the 1st guy buggered off without helping the 2nd guy! There were some complaints raised, though both riders got time back for the ā€œbad route-map directionsā€.
