- The second race of the Sweet Lamb Baja Rnd 2. Due to mechanical issues in race 1 I had spent all lunch break making repairs to the bike. By the time I got down to the start I was last man out with a lot of time to make up!
Unfortunately in the later part of the race I suffered a suspected flat front tyre which I didn't notice in time. During a fast corner the tyre came off the bead and the front wheel washed out in an instant. I was not recording at the time and only turned the camera on after the crash.
Big thanks to the two riders that stopped to help me and the sweet lamb staff, medical crew, friends and family for helping get me off the track and recovering the bike.
I've got a scaphoid fracture famous for taking a long time to heal so unfortunately i'm in this for the long run.... i'll be back though! - Спорт
It feels like a video game. No matter how many people you pass there’s always still more to pass. It’s almost like you’re the only one racing and everyone else is out for a Sunday ride.
Has a massive stack, remembers to turn the camera on. That’s my boy 👏🏻
Just so gutted I didn't get the crash! 😭
@@BikerEddd useless.
“We’ve got one guy in the drainage ditch” 😂. Absolutely flying Ed!
Great riding. I loved my 1090 R
so fast!
Great stuff, glad your ok👍
I'll be back next year!
I have just watched this and foooook man you can ride!! Loved it!
Hope you got back on ok
I think you've just cemented me getting another KTM Adv next year. Loved riding the 790 Adventure R there for the dealer launch and having my own 1090R which i should have never got rid of. Hopefully see you at the Baja next year!
Do it 😈 make sure you come say hi at the next one ✌️
@@BikerEddd I will mate, I’ll be trying to follow your lines! 😂

Good thinking staying still when you were on the deck 👍
Are you tubeless??

Wrist 🙈🙈
@@nigellove-lovebigbikeadven4783 think might need to start running 30psi+ and rim locks on the front though! Thanks - hopefully it wont take long!
Hi Ed. I'm watching this a year on and wondered how the scaphoid healed? Broke mine rock climbing in my 20's (63 now) it healed fine with a bit of mobility limitation. Got a 1250 GS, do a few trails and was also wondering about entering these events. (i would definately be one o the crawlers you fly passed🤣
Hey. It's more or less 100% healed now thankfully! Back at it once more after a difficult 3 months off a bike. Give it a go! Suitable for any level of rider 👌 just need the right attitude.
@@BikerEddd Cheers. Any easier intro than others?
@@touchingthecloth sweetlamb do a ton of training days which I'd highly recommend. Rallymoto do some very good more entry level competitions
@@BikerEddd Thanks Ed. I will definitely give sweetlamb a go, if just for the change of scene and bike (done many trips out with Offrdskills with BMW in S Wales
Did you work out why the tyre failed? What tyres and pressures were you running?
I guess too low a pressure.......never had that happen when riding Enduro on a 250 stroker and was running 10-14 PSI. The weight of this bike is 2.5 times and its very front heavy so would imagine 22-24PSI might be about right . Racing is great until you stack it , hurt yourself and mangle your bike then you ask why do i do it .......why indeed ???
I'm still looking at the video but Holy sh*t man. You might as well change your name to @lightningeddd
Edit: Shit I just got to the end. Hope you are okay man.
Haha cheers dude. All healed up now and back on it 💪
