IMHO, the guy is a bit of an idiot, not doing a careful inspection of his bike before taking off. But racers are like that. All the Gear... Works. |

I was really shocked at how quickly he got back onto the bike. Hell, you'd have thought he wouldve taken a second to compose himself after such a shocking thing like that. Awesome video though, thank you technology for giving us gopro |

"i think he went the wrong way after he got back on" You thought wrong. Look at the corner he goes through before the deer incident. Now when he's hopping onto the bike you can see it to the right, before he takes off to the left. Simple stuff really |

Good argument for (real) bark busters. If you go frame by frame, you can see they took the brunt of the impact. Note to new riders who may look this video, unless this was a closed course, his line taking him left of center line was a stupid one. |

To shrug it off like that I'd assume he was wearing full hard body armor. |

Not meaning to horn in on this but... it would behoove you to appreciate the alacrity in which he remounted his machine. (Must be a rugby player) Chris C |

just for the record, he was running a timed rally. Hence the reason for "shaking it off" and taking right off again. It was a closed course, (closed to vehicles, but not animals obviously), and he was only about 7 miles from his final checkpoint. More info on this over at ADVrider, along with more pics and info on the rally. |
