Don't know if it's just me...but real slow here, looks like alot more rocks tomorrow

ok, this is a stupid question: why don't those guys just slow down? they can see they're in a mine field!!

I don't know if there are any other veterans that were paratroopers, but this looks pretty similar to a PLF (parachute landing fall), he just failed to keep his "feet and knees together"

Looks like 345 with zoom 400 percent

maybe because it's a race?

Nice! that's the kinda sarcasm I appreciate!!!

The mine field was at the bottom of a steep dune...you can see them trying to slow down as they approach it...if memory serves from the vids earlier today

Off to my tent...If I'm right 8:30 local start time...Don't be late....

I'd a "laid 'er down" before I went into those rocks.

because its the tail end of a huge downhill and you're basically already out of control?

this vid/gif also shows them for what they are. nasty.

Too late.

Must have taken the ASO a few days to put all those rocks there.

I'm with Duke, though I would have probably just bailed the bike and seen how far it could get through on it's own. Less riding...

He gets a real close look at his road book...

The rider did an excellent job of "unloading" and "tuck and roll"....

ok, that fully explains it, thanks. I did not see the vid. is there a link?

i think ASO should give them thier time back because those rocks caused thier GPS to no longer work !
