An unusual crash for two race bikes

Reminds me:

I was racing an Arenacross years ago and had just made the pass for third in a tight corner (squared it off inside the guy) when my bike suddenly died and I went over the bars. I ran back to my bike which was intertwined with the bike of the guy I had just passed. I yanked mine up, jumped aboard, pulled in the clutch and readied a powerful thrust to the kick-starter. As I was about to kick and dump the clutch upon fire I felt the guy grab my leg and scream "Please man no!!!!" I looked down and saw what had stalled my bike, the guys foot was in my rear spokes. He must have gone to put out his inside foot for the turn and got terribly unlucky. Had I fired it up and dumped it I prob would have sheared his toes right off. Anyway, the video of me yanking on his leg trying to free it from my spokes before we got passed by the last transfer spot was quite hilarious.

Fixed: (hit play on both)
