Blackadder 280 Posted June 26, 2014 It doesn't score in terms of height, but for sheer style and entertainment you can't beat the one at Scunny when Benji Compton's bike went chasing after a bite of Dave Dowling's burger. Dave insists it was a bacon sandwich!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chewbacca 653 Posted July 1, 2014 Stuart Robson and David Ruud came a right purler on the 4th bend at Newcastle a few years ago. Robbo and bike ended up on the dog track and Ruud's bike took off and went above the lights (a good 10ft). Easily the most spectacular crash I've ever seen. Robbo was OK and I think Ruud got away with a broken thumb. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tsunami 10,219 Posted July 1, 2014 Never seen a picture but it was on one of the crash compilation dvd's. It was when Lakeside were in the PL. It used to be featured on our website for a fair time afterwards. BTW Robbo was hurt, a certain bag between his legs was split, something he was reminding folks, including me, who were trying to help him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The White Knight 9,039 Posted July 1, 2014 I remember Daniel Nermark being in a hell of a crash at Redcar. He went way up in the air, and I must say that I feared for his life. Unfortunately he was injured in the crash - but at least he came back to ride again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
