Comment by Joe on December 11, 2009 at 13:49: yeppp thats us ben gnar groms, I think all the groms from aus had at least one gnar crash bandicoot bail over the weekend. I saw nick get wheeled into E.D when i was there and then in the morning i saw merrick coming out of the x-ray room in hospital. I still sort of had hope that i would make it though the corner, right up until i stood up slightly and wobbled before i plowed inbetween the bails.

Comment by Olly Smith on December 11, 2009 at 13:49: Joe took the bales on like a real man! You must of hit that bale pretty hard to stap that bone! At least you have someone to blame for it :) Hope ur gettin better man.

Premium Member Comment by Benbro on December 11, 2009 at 16:18: yeh mate,in the footage it looks like you were on line to make it but then seen brianne in the bails,then got a wobble and steered straight into them......i did a similar thing,nearly running up the back of josh weisfeld as he broke harder quiker,then i lost concentration of my line,slid out following him into the bails,...the best in the world were doin it.....i was amazed at the lack of traction thru the elbow....

Comment by Brad B on December 11, 2009 at 16:41: yeah, there was very little friction on the elbow, even those that slid into the bails appeared to be accelerating. they need a temperature gauge on the asphalt there next year ,)
