Title: Got a little too close....
Post by barry_sword on Jul 6th, 2009 at 3:41pm
I try and get some good close-ups of our riders and then we make a DVD for our biking group. This first vid from a few weeks ago is Scott getting very close to me, like inches but I knew not to move and all goes well.

This second vid is from yesterday at the same spot. i asked the group to let me get in position part way down the run to video them blasting on by. My last words were to them jokingly were " whatever you do don't hit me" and down they came.
Fourth rider Ryan pulls a wheelie and his bike just turns right into me, I'm hit! We had a Paramedic with us and she checked us both out and we both went out of there under our own power. It could have been so much worse if I had moved even an inch or two. I have contacted Ryan and although he can hardly move he is going to be alright. I had my helmet on and that is where Ryan nailed me, go figure my head gets it :D

Took the afternoon off work as it is getting hard for me move around, that was a 200lb hit!!!!
Here is the second vid.

Just as long as he understands that you owe him an ass-kicking. ;D

Don't ever cash in on it - it's better for him to know that he's indebted to you.

Geez Barry - didn't your Mama tell you don't play in traffic.  She meant bike traffic too!!! ;)  Glad you're okay but I'll bet you're going to hurt in places you didn't even know existed!


Hugs
Carol

Thanks everyone, Ryan and I are both ok, just really sore. Like Carol said we ache in places we did not even know LOL

What we do is risky, but I can hardly wait to get back out there, but will be much more careful doing my video's, no more high speed close-ups ;)

Nice bike Terry! 8-)
