bump - what could have been done re this crash? accident circa 5 mins. lucky fellow-phew. Do Not Watch If Easily Upset - the rider survived but it makes uncomfortable viewing for some. viewer discretion advised

Thanks Stubbsie- Ocean are discounting it to £30. maybe the organisers can price match at other biker venues if interest is sufficient? roll it out nationwide?
did you get to see the crash on the youtube vid? all seemed so well, enjoying the ride and unreal what happened? probably wasnt the best example due to remoteness of location but his mate drove past and didnt even know where he had gone. incredibly lucky.eh? :-)

Yes I watched the video.
Any off road incident is always an epic, even mountain biking, that's a nightmare scenario, it happened to me a couple of years ago on my mountain bike.
Remote activities are brilliant until it goes wrong, good reason to ride as a couple, just incase.

and even as a couple its worth taking a couple of cheap 2 way radios just in case something similar to the vid happens
If it doesnt have dirt on it, its because you're not riding it hard enough
