Sliding Finish in Crits

[auraroxx32]

ERIC ! he's so awesome , im glad he won <3

[wobbledotca]

That's none other than Fast Freddie Rodriguez with the awesome handling skills to avoid hitting the guy crashing after the line, check 1:21 and 1:30. He's been racing pro for long time, and still is, and obviously it shows. Crash was probably the guy banging his saddle by mistake with his crotch after throwing his bike across the line

[engalando]

does the other guy go over his hand ?

[Drank2MuchLastNite]

He won by Lord Voldemorts nose.

[stopglobalswarming]

Why does he crash at 47 seconds? There is no one bumping him and his bike looks ok before he goes down.

[ThomsenKA]

Why did they pick a 12 year old boy as commentator? I asume it's not a women since this is a sport event..

[MegaDrew89]

does anyone notice the other crash in the middle of the pack

[littletonfields]

Coming in HOTT son!!!!!!!!!!!!

[superfisto]

I think his hand got run over. 

[vpcomponents]

he crashed because he was not wearing gloves, and his wet sweaty left hand slipped off the bars when he was recovering that big bike throw... nothing to do with road surface or psi...

[mattfaulkner]

Not being funny, but how did he actually manage to crash there?!

[oweneoin]

head on d spectator at 1.10 is priceless

[arklat]

Yeah, not on the road, but on the track, I have crossed the line the winner, just to have somebody go up the banking and crash into me. tTat pretty much sucks!

[Change438]

jesus this is like the fourth crash i've seen on you tube at this crit, are the roads really that bad or do people just need to learn to ride bikes?

[mrrobedeau]

@Change438 ( Oh they can ride a bike, when you're pedaling at 35 mph and then kick it up to 45mph in a sprint do you really expect the tread to hold up. )

[Change438]

@mrrobedeau yeah I do, I race bikes and that was not a 45mph sprint, if you dont believe me just check the race results yourself, they include speed. Even if it was that was a really unskillful rider

[Maxdwolf]

@Change438 Even Homer was known to nod, dumbass.

[Tweekerhead]

How much psi was in that front wheel bro'?

[mrrobedeau]

@Tweekerhead ( They're running anywhere from 110psi to 125psi )

[lifeofcycling]

no guts..no glory

[RAL239]

He was so excited he won that he just jumped off!

[avihayl]

hahahaha...... FAIL!

[irondan4]

I'm more impressed w/ the rider behind him in black and yellow that managed to lock up his rear wheel and drift out the way to avoid the guy and his bike. 1:21 and 1:30 have good views of it.

[Lanceistheman2]

The guy in the red to the left of him seems to bunny hop the bike at 1:24

[ironchefjme]

@irondan4 thinkn the same thing, drifft!!

[keisha4]

@irondan4 Good eye mate! Racing and drifting...

[zegleg]

Haha that guys face at 1:11 XD

[ansjol]

He won?

[SeaRanger311]

Personally looks to me like he lost balance after he lunged the bike forward.

But still could of been alot worse if there were more riders closer to him.

[lolwut3213]

OH NO! THE BIKE!

[palehorse864]

1:08

Watch the curly haired guy on the left.

[BrundukasLT]

he is like boon :DDDDD

" MY EAT BANANA"

[bkermike]

a victory he will never forget...for the wrong reasons :)

[ironmanc5]

he won by a finger tip

[madamerosared]

Looks like the wheel jerked to the right of the rider. Did the headset unsrewed because of the stress from the attack? or did the fork snapped?

[Showtime1608]

Nope. He wanted to lunge the bike forward but his hands were sweaty. So he accidentaly let go of the steer. Poor Eric. Now he has an ugly scar on his knee.

[lifeofcycling]

no guts...no glory!!

[rdbextreme]

very impressive. That has to be the most painful victory ever

[lifeofcycling]

no guts, no glory!!

[Zoidberg227]

Ouch. I never thought winning could hurt so much ...

[stiiffey]

oh shit lol!

[Marshswing]

yeah boy! No pain no gain.

[BootchMagoo]

Skin Crayon more like it!

[aequesadacr]

but he won!

[REIDvanRENESSE]

they don't call it the "Skinscraper" for nothin'...!

[dutchzoet]

Congradulations Eric. That was one intense video. :)

[Paarkslex]

A kid on my team did that exact same move on sunday. He had some pretty impressive road rash.

[badboyberty]

wow i thought Phil Liggett and Paul Sherwin occasionally getting riders confused was bad, the guys commentating don't even pretend to know the names of the riders or teams not associated with Rock Racing.

[MustardMunkey]

3 crashes in the last 300 meters...special
