[Closed] The greatest save in biking history

Don't you just love it when your foot blows out of your clip? That is one impressive save though.

Every time, not sure about greatest save in history though...

That's fightin' talk Tracker, let's see your hero dabs

Not only would I have crashed I'm pretty sure is have a busted ankle as well from the first dab!

[quote=Northwind ]So, how many times would you have crashed?

Just the once.

Thats pretty much me on every descent

Once...amd more than likely OTB in my case.

Wouldn't have happened with the right sized wheels 😉

Impressive as that is it's not even remotely as impressive as Danny Hart's 'stay on your bike Danny!' Moment in his world champion winning run down Champery. That will slways be THE definitive heart in your mouth moment purely for the fact that it's was in the actual race run and everything hinged on that single moment.

You said biking, not just mountain biking.

Is obviously what I was thinking of 😉 but I have followed my (vastly more skilled) mate as he has got crossed up in parallel polished stoney ruts, lose the back to almost 90 degrees, hit a rock with the front mid crash which lifted the front out of its rut onto the crown in the middle which helped him drop it into the same rut as the rear. All without unclipping, don't think he had the time 🙂

Might have a glance around YouTube though as well, should be fun 🙂

beej, excellent choice! Wish I had remembered that 😉

Oddly, at no point can you see the riders bollocks being blown out of his shorts with the saddle impact. Clearly they're taped up.

Some good footage here:

My favourite is Lance Armstrong's little bit of mountainbiking during the TdF.

Could almost forgive him everything for that one.

This one. Obviously didn't/couldn't ride it out, but it's an impressive save...

That is brilliant - but watch his front wheel, amongst all the chaos he steadfastly keeps it pointing the right way!

Nah, that wasn't a save- he took that line expecting to slide. Which is actually more impressive I reckon.

Yeah, ride that rodeo 😀
