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.

Mark has been riding mountain bikes for over 30 years and co-owns Singletrack, where he's been publisher for 25 years. While his official title might be Managing Director, his actual job description is "whatever needs doing" – from wrangling finances and keeping the lights on to occasionally remembering to ride bikes for fun rather than just work. He's seen the sport evolve from rigid forks to whatever madness the industry dreams up next, and he's still not entirely sure what "gravel" is. When he's not buried in spreadsheets or chasing late invoices, he's probably thinking about his next ride.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.
