That’s a neat photo due to the tire folding under increased weight distribution. Bad for the crash.

Geaux Adam! We’re happy to report that although he got pretty shaken up by the crash, Adam was back with us racing last weekend.

@Sean – I was okay except for a few scraps. I also cracked the helmet. Got back on the bike and finished the race.

@jeei – I don’t know why you say the lefty failed. It worked perfectly and it is still just fine. Might have bent a regular fork in this situation.
