XC Cannock Carnage (VIDEO)

It’s not just DH riders that crash spectacularly. We reckon XC racing crashes look far more painful. Here’s a quick collection of carnage from the recent XC race at Cannock Chase.

This will not end well.

Unsurprisingly, neither will this.

Warning! Contains some swears! So keep the volume on the low if you are at work or your grandma is in the room.

What Mark doesn’t know about social media isn’t worth knowing and his ability to balance “The Stack” is bested only by his agility on a snowboard. Graphs are what gets his engine revving, at least they would if his car wasn’t electric, and data is what you’ll find him poring over in the office. Mark enjoys good whisky, sci-fi and the latest Apple gadget, he is also the best boss in the world (Yes, he is paying me to write this).

That is some annoying whooping going on, if I had been in that race I would have gone looking for that prat and given him a deserved smack in the face afterwards.

Is that the new black section alongside ‘Let Loose’?

Love the look of the youngster at the end sort of “what’s all the fuss?”

Agree with the comment about the girly whooping.

That rock garden is harder than it looks in this video, especially if you mince down it. Pick a line and stick to it like the youngster at the end and it’s no fuss.

I wonder if they did the little bit of north shore just before this rock garden. Judging by the riding “talent” on display here I would guess not.
