Shale Searcher Posted June 22, 2014 Report Share Posted June 22, 2014 Krzysztof Buczkowskis tangle with the fallen Nick Morris last night, resulted in Krzysztofs machine launching itself around 8 feet + into the air, before parking itself neatly against the safety fence....! I can honestly say that's the highest I have ever seen a bike in the air, it didn't somersault, or spin, just looked like it had been launched off a ramp!! Luckily no riders injured in the incident, anyone seen a bike higher in the air? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shale Searcher Posted June 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2014 Krzysztof was stuck under the fence by the way, the machine was unmanned, thinking about it, it was only 15/16 ft from me on the inside of turn 2, when I got to the bike, the engine had stopped and it had parked itself neatly against the fence, and I only had to turn the fuel off and hand over control to the mechanic.... It actually was probably a bit higher than 8ft, possibly breached 10 ft!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Leslie Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 It doesn't score in terms of height, but for sheer style and entertainment you can't beat the one at Scunny when Benji Compton's bike went chasing after a bite of Dave Dowling's burger. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Qtu8BiGIVA 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemini Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 I've seen that before and it's amazing how no-one was injured. Can't have been pleasant for Benji to see the bike heading straight for him and the other fans moved pretty quickly too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruiser McHuge Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 (edited) Not seen that Compton one before...I've seen plenty of bikes take off for a bit after a fall but that is the most spectacular one I've seen....good viewing , as you know nobody was hurt Makes you think that when we were kids we used to watch speedway at some tracks actually leaning over the fence...Ellesmere Port springs to mind , and the bikes were so close....madness when you think back but thought nothing of it back then Edited June 24, 2014 by Bruiser McHuge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shale Searcher Posted June 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 There used to be one on you tube, might have been Costa Mesa, the bike got up of the track, about turned and thrashed itself across the centre green and used the fence as a ramp.. I believe there were injuries in the crowd that day.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chewbacca Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 Stuart Robson and David Ruud came a right purler on the 4th bend at Newcastle a few years ago. Robbo and bike ended up on the dog track and Ruud's bike took off and went above the lights (a good 10ft). Easily the most spectacular crash I've ever seen. Robbo was OK and I think Ruud got away with a broken thumb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
