The crash heard around the world.

This might be the only video of the infamous crash that happened to Ryan Trebon during the 2007 Cyclocross Nationals Elite Mens race. Many thanks to teamskincycling for capturing the moment.




I've got some thoughts about the crash, but I'll save them until I hear what my cross buddies have to say first.

this is wrong in at least two ways;
- who is the dude on the wrong side taking his time to ride back on the correct side? Get off the bike and the track and get back on the correct side!
- the guy that hit the tape and went into Trebon....do you blame him or that the course layout was dumb to have the different directions going in those conditions?
- or is it just 'cross?

That video is not easy to stomach. However, it is so much more enjoyable to watch whilst listening to Slayer. No joke.

Dave is on to something. I just watched the crash again while listening to Slayer and the two go hand in hand.

All joking aside, Slayer makes life more enjoyable.

re: the CRASH-

I wish there'd been more video posted of what was happening immediately before and after the crash, including a bit more of the course layout in the general area.
