D38 2014 H&H King of the Desert Crash

[husq-a-daygo 0]

Three 28 mile laps.Lap one at mile marker 20 I swapped and could not recover after shifting into 5th on some sand hoops. I got some bumps and bruises but nothing serious so I completed the course. My Husky started right up after taking a beating but my handle bars were pretty tweaked.

Glad you're okay. Do you think a GPR or similar would've helped or did the back come around after a whoop?

Thanks.

My GPR was set to 4 and probably saved me from a few other "Gotchas" around the course especially in the rock gardens. The course was pretty brutal. I diced 2X and the 3rd sent me top side.

Good you're here to type, Yeah, that didn't look fun at all,

No dice! How fast to you estimate you were hoofing along when you swapped?

btw any gopro video from the Otay Track?

Nice... glad to see you putting in some laps...

Your helmet and goggle alignment look like they took a beating...

Glad you are ok... that could have been bad... tough rider / tough bike

Those D38 tracks have been used so many times they are pretty beat up.

I was probably up to 40-45 mph in 5th gear accelerating when I went down. I do have the footage from the vet track but I have to edit it as its pretty boring watching 3 slow guys cruise around a track for 30 minutes

Unofficial race results are in but without lap times.

I felt like I was racing on the first lap passing guys and skipping hoops and stuff. Then the crash happened and the second lap I seriously slowed down. I need to pace myself better. By the third lap I was barely surviving but I caught a second wind and on the back 9 passed a bunch of guys.

The Slow-Mo looks like dirt surfing!

• My Husky keeps crashing in the sand too, must be a defect in Husky engineering.
