I hope the bike missed him, but it's hard to tell.

And yea, I also can't help but think how much it will cost.

The bike can be repaired,

how is the rider, what injuries did he get ??

Hopefully not too much, and he makes a swift recovery.

Also what was the cause of this spectacular spill, did you have the front brake on after going over that small rise in the road ??

Looks like he landed front wheel first...................the soft forks compressed and the rebound pogo'd the bike back, spitting the rider off and cartwheeling the bike

"kinell looks like a big off for a very small crest

The first thing that appears to come off looks like his boot

[BeemerBaz]

[JohnnyBoxer]

The question is..................

Were his feet still attached to his legs or still stuck in his boots

Answered in the Advrider thread JB. He really did walk away from it. That's almost enough to make me religious. Almost.

It looks as though it was slightly crossed up on landing and when the front end bottomed out he couldn't hold it and the front wheel slid out to the left. At that point it was all over bar the aerobatics and
