I watched the MTBcut video on Vital but it didn't have it. Where can I see Peat's wreck in his race run?

Video of Peat's Wreck
- Thread starter Lelandjt
- Start date
who the f**k is Pete?
He's one of the Windham locals. He slipped while walking to milk his cows... It happens.
Wish him my best. Sounds gnarly.
Watch the Freecaster replay. You can see him wad it up on that steep chute. Landed basically to flat and nose heavy. Pretty sure I actually yelled when I was watching it live. Its Steve Peat btw...
Worst moment of my week by far. He was killin it!!
LOL @ the fat guys running towards pete's wreck!
There, fixed his name spelling Nazis.
I was behind the final berm looking up the hill.
In person, it was heartbreaking to hear the announcer say he was winning at the split, and next thing we see is Peat picking himself up after sliding off that wooden kicker.
It looked like a tough section to pre-jump, and I guess he was cruising a lot faster than his practice and seeding runs... and misjudged the distance needed to land on the tranny.

I still love the fact that the old man was just killing the young crazy kids on that course. Until he crashed that it. Still on the knarly rocky stuff he was a step above.
Did he actually land to flat? I couldn't tell from the Freecaster replay.
EDIT: it looks like he hit the bottom of the transition

And by the way, no amateur video dudes could have gotten close enough to film it, due to the excessive taping on that section. Hopefully we will see some pro still photos of it
QFT!
He's got to go down as one of the greatest athletes of recent times and not just in DH either.
there was plenty of space to stand where he crashed
yeah he was 1.9 sec ahead at the mid point, really sucks. we were at the last berm waiting and all i saw was dust and Peaty getting up.
