Old dude hits the ground, a crowd starts freaking out around him, screaming about blood in his eye, and Mr. Bike Racer hops up and runs to the officials to make sure he's not going to be penalized for anything (and by "anything" I mean missing the free lap -- seemed like the old dude didn't even register).

I'm thinking people react differently depending upon how much experience they've had with going past the red line. If you're not used to the feeling produced by crossing into that territory, events move at an incomprehensible clip. If you're used to the feeling, it's just another day at the office.bankshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10369338949143658369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7881625.post-49744589759988772652007-03-20T21:00:00.000-07:002007-03-20T21:00:00.000-07:00Banks said your pull on the backside was like 90 r...Banks said your pull on the backside was like 90 rpms in the 12 at ~33-34 mph - that's puttin' the hurt down for sure.nosajpalnudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04239347646163207432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7881625.post-2083422409334498072007-03-20T20:30:00.000-07:002007-03-20T20:30:00.000-07:00artist in every sense of the word, niiiiiceartist in every sense of the word, niiiiiceVelojuicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09518100594657264679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7881625.post-70869371363289085812007-03-20T17:57:00.000-07:002007-03-20T17:57:00.000-07:00I think I just got wood reading that...mmmmmmmm ra...I think I just got wood reading that...mmmmmmmm racingcaptain sassy pantshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05914944423964822690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7881625.post-69489236442744923812007-03-20T17:47:00.000-07:002007-03-20T17:47:00.000-07:00he ran to get his free lap?are you kidding me?he ran to get his free lap?<BR/><BR/>are you kidding me?Velo Bellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10478413071373565411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7881625.post-89264249512397642222007-03-20T17:44:00.000-07:002007-03-20T17:44:00.000-07:00The Panda and I were standing 10 feet away from th...The Panda and I were standing 10 feet away from the spectator who got pummeled by a flying cyclist. BOOM! All the sudden we look over and this old man is laying flat on his back with a bike and cyclist sprawled out on top of him. The cyclist plucks himself up, grabs his bike and runs to the pit to get his free lap.<BR/><BR/>The old man was there with what must have been his family. A little 3-ish year old boy started crying. Oh man, that kid was so scared. This huge crowd gathered around the old man and a nurse-lady spectator who was nearby started asking him the typically questions: What is your name, who is the prez, all the bullshit.<BR/><BR/>"Call and ambulance!" Nurse lady called out.<BR/><BR/>The Panda told the crowd to get the hell out of the poor guy's face if they didn't belong there. Well she didn't say it just like that because she's nicer than me. <BR/><BR/>Anyway then I went back to my car but I did see am ambulance screaming up to the course a few minutes later. <BR/><BR/>Wow that was a novel!T.
