Phazer Crash

[enticersrule]

Here is some footage of Jim Urquhart from Sno-X magazine wadding up his Phazer on the USCC Grafton 100 course. Gives you a little bit of an idea of the different terrain and how rough it can get. This was only the second race that day and it was already pretty dug-out. This is one complete lap, plus about a 1/4 of the second lap in 8 minute segments:

Jim's a great rider, but I'm particularily impressed at how he saved the helmet cam! I'm sure things will go better at the 500!

Wow!Dont take this wrong but there is a issue there.I think he needs to tighten up the limiter strap.It looks to me like it is keeping the frontend way to light for those speeds and low snow.Mine doesnt corner the greatest but its much better than that.Hope it helps.

Track was Iceriver running and the fields weren't really low snow more like a minefield of 6 foot holes!! The dirt is from all the sled tracking dirt up from the bottom in spots

HAHA that was some good stuff. Very nice Helmet cam GoPro I think Jim said it was. I remeber hittng that same drift Wide open except I cleared it and he face planted it. course I raced the next race and it had a lip to it.
This is the real deal Boys. Xc is some of the hardest Terrain your going to put a machine threw oh and your self. I am in pretty good shape, I work out and swim just about every morning.
Cant wait for the 500.

Not saying I could do any better.Far from it.But he was lifting on every corner even on the river.In tight trees he was also lifting every corner.I believe that is because it was pushing.Get rid of the push and the porpoising at same time and I bet he wont crash like that.
