What's the first thing any modern athlete or jackass thinks after a crash? "Did I get that on tape?" Or maybe "memory card" is more correct these days?
Encouraged by the response I got from my previous short movie (
link) I wanted to document my road trip and bike riding at Hafjell Bike Park, the best bike resort in Norway, Friday 26nd.
Hafjell is located near Lillehammer, some 240 km from my hometown Drammen, but I had not been there since last year, and really wanted to take the 911. The easiest way is by the highway - dull, but effective. And I could drive over the "mountain" going home. More turns, more fun.
I was hoping to get a lot of footage during this glorious, sunny day, with different camera angles, but on my third run I managed to go over the bars. And land with my left arm between my rib cage and the dirt. Bad idea. But, I got it on camera!
So, sorry for the monotonous biking footage... The crash is at 50 secs.
The trip home was not as fun as I had hoped, with broken ribs and a smashed wrist. Every left turn and shift to fourth or second gear was agony. Therefore I chose to take the boring but thankfully straight highway home too.
Hope you like it.
