How'd that work out for you?

During the finals of the Cairns, Australia World Cup DH Race, Adam Brayton clipped a tree and took a big digger that resulted in a broken leg. While he was being treated, a spectator offered to take his bike back down to the pits. After pushing the bike partially down the mountain, the spectator decided to hop on the bike (despite having no helmet) and ride down the track. Hit play to watch the carnage and drop past the break for another angle.

I saw that shit last night. That is a serious wipeout. It was only after continuous harassment and egging on did he jump on the bike and try to ride it down. Big difference in what the pros ride, both bike and track, and what he probably normally rides.
Did you see Brayton's injury? Pretty nasty gash and broken leg.
The track was in horrendous shape too. Two days of major rain. Kind of expected when you are racing in a rain forest.
