WARNING: MONSTER FILE...don't even try it on dial up! It took forever on DSL!!!!!!!!!!!

I found this on another forum but wanted to post it here. It is footage of the Crankworkz contest, only mostly the burly wrecks.

Stay glued to your screen b/c the most hideous thing happens at the end to Timo Pritzel. God only knows why he pushed the bike away instead of keeping it under him to soak it up. I read a damage report that sounded sickening.

Does anybody have details about the poor guy? He pulled what may be the most ridiculously huge thing I've seen. Details anybody?

its not a big file, its just a really ****ty host

And it's uncompressed mpg too...

That looks like a nasty nasty crash, but I'm surprised he didn't try and backflip it.

Umm...I'm not finding it...the link sends me to some front page with nothing really on it referring to crankworks...so I click on the film & video section and nothing there either.

He pushed the bike away because he overshot the landing tranny.
If you have seen him ride before you will notice that he often ditches the bike on bails.
He was carrying in way too much speed. The stunt (scaffold) was not that long and I guess he misjudged what he needed.
As far as huge, he was much bigger over the box, but he landed that so it wasn't a big deal.

since it wasn't a big deal, you do it.

Apparently a broken/dislocation ankle was the outcome of that crash.

 

[Ifelloffabike]

the taliwhip off the scaffold thing was pretty cool

 

[Echo]

I saw that video before, I didn't know that was Timo though. That was freakin' SCARY.

[2piece]

It's took 10 minutes on my RoadRunner @ 3 meg svc. Be patient and go mow the grass

 

[Tully]

Wasn't that Paul Basagoitia(sp?) who did the whip? I was talking to someone who was there, and he said that for some reason he had to do the whip to save himself from a crash, because he was off balance or something like that.

I don't think your ankle is meant to bend like that

 

[preppie]

I don't think your ankle is meant to bend like that

Auwtsj, that looks like a nasty NON-clean break of his ankle or shin bone ?

 

[RaID]

ouch

in hindsight i think a touch of the rear brakes in the air might have saved him

No..It wasn't me.

so what other Nationals are you attending this year....your signature is pissin' me off. :nuts:

By the way....the Saturday practice at Schweitzer photos on www.pigpants.com has a "Phat" pic of you and one of JP. :eviltongu

 

[me89]

why he ditched the bike.

in one hand you have both of your nuts getting crunched and possibly busted, or in the other you have a broken ankle or less cause you land and collapse like your supposed to. now which one would you have choosen. i would have thrown that bike to china if it was me.

 

[ioscope]

Can You Use Atf In Place Of Fork Oil?

 

[me89]

heard you could but dont know. dude why dont you make your own post bout that you would get better results.

 

[Pip3r]

man thats rough. Its not even really his fault, that had to just be instinct being a dirt jumper and all. that bail was perfect, just the ground wasnt

 

[me89]

lol yeh he did all he could i wasnt sayin he crashed bad i was just sayin. lol

 

[androshandrew]

He was probly thinking that if he tried to stick the landing, he would most likely loop out and smack his head back. That could be very bad on the spine, and the head, even with the full face.
