I love the way that the guy who just got landed on and clobbered runs away from the guy who just clobbered him.Later when the guy is getting patched up i hear someone say "there was a freak gust '. Yerrr right more like showing off for the camera and doing posuer moves for it rather than looking out for other riders (of which there seems to be many)

Ouch! Thanks for sharing.

Feel free to also post general kiting videos / pics in this thread so that we have one place to waste the hours away at work / when there is no wind:

Didn't look like Adam, but I thought it was funny that Dan was the one who ended up getting bandaged haha.

anyoneelse notice the cool dog?

More like a simple case of Idiot jumping onto someone

When was the last time in High winds, did someone not check downwind - before jumping

Experienced Goofball more like it - lets all megaloop on top of everyone - duh !

err....check out frame 0:06, a simple mistake you reken !! Man I would be really pissed if someone just about took my head off,because they just plain an simple did not look befor they went for there trick, Ok I know you can get a bit reckless with your mates sometimes but still ?? Injuries caused by others are the worst an have the most impact on councils opinions on safety regs etc etc bla bla bla .I'm sure some lessons have been learnt here...but this is how you do it to get your spot shut down for obvious reasons

It's all well and good to comment just watching the video, but really I think your missing the point (I am actually in the video riding past after the accident in a blue shirt..), this was in 2006... 5 years ago. Dan is a careful and considerate rider and has helped more than his fair share of people at woodies. Fair enough if you want to criticize someone that regularly does this or puts people at risk but for you to single out one accident is a bit rich. I'm sure you have made mistakes before ever had a car crash? Lets Ban CARS!

For a minute there I thought the fiery Dan was chasing him for a bit of bifo then it even looked like the other guy was running away from him. Then again they could of been trying to do a piggy back
