no he was going around the corner and he started to spin as you can see in the first picture he is going backwards and he tried to correct it and his left rear tire caught and then he just went flying. those are the pics and my aunt has it on tape. its pretty gnarly

That looked like a painful wreck, but if i was him, i would get the big pictures of all of them, and hang them on my wall. The chicks like those crash stories,:D

yea it was pretty nasty to see in person. the past two times that he has crashed i have been right there on the track next to him, its pretty bad when i just look over and he is just tumbling thru the air.

I was on Morphine the first day then went to Flexeril, Norco and Prednizone for inflamation. I am not a person who even likes to take aspriin for anything most of the time, but I was MORE than happy to take some good pain pills after my wreck...:D I STILL hurt when I watch that video of the wreck...:ermm:

I did the same thing on this flat track right after they got done wetting it. Back tires just kept slidding. Didnt get hurt though. But thats when I had those stock tires n they were worn to hell!
