Shale Searcher 1,264 Posted June 22, 2014 Krzysztof Buczkowskis tangle with the fallen Nick Morris last night, resulted in Krzysztofs machine launching itself around 8 feet + into the air, before parking itself neatly against the safety fence....! I can honestly say that's the highest I have ever seen a bike in the air, it didn't somersault, or spin, just looked like it had been launched off a ramp!! Luckily no riders injured in the incident, anyone seen a bike higher in the air? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shale Searcher 1,264 Posted June 22, 2014 Krzysztof was stuck under the fence by the way, the machine was unmanned, thinking about it, it was only 15/16 ft from me on the inside of turn 2, when I got to the bike, the engine had stopped and it had parked itself neatly against the fence, and I only had to turn the fuel off and hand over control to the mechanic.... It actually was probably a bit higher than 8ft, possibly breached 10 ft!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gemini 4,894 Posted June 23, 2014 I've seen that before and it's amazing how no-one was injured. Can't have been pleasant for Benji to see the bike heading straight for him and the other fans moved pretty quickly too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bruiser McHuge 589 Posted June 24, 2014 (edited) Not seen that Compton one before...I've seen plenty of bikes take off for a bit after a fall but that is the most spectacular one I've seen....good viewing , as you know nobody was hurt Makes you think that when we were kids we used to watch speedway at some tracks actually leaning over the fence...Ellesmere Port springs to mind , and the bikes were so close....madness when you think back but thought nothing of it back then Edited June 24, 2014 by Bruiser McHuge Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shale Searcher 1,264 Posted June 24, 2014 There used to be one on you tube, might have been Costa Mesa, the bike got up of the track, about turned and thrashed itself across the centre green and used the fence as a ramp.. I believe there were injuries in the crowd that day.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
