Wow, some save.

tricker · 03-31-2008, 11:40 AM

wonder if he had to change his pants after that?

**Clint** · 03-31-2008, 12:50 PM

He looked pretty danged relaxed to me.

pinky44 · 03-31-2008, 01:10 PM

Must have velcro on his seat and leathers and a new secret push the bike upright system installed, whatever a great save.

KD57 · 03-31-2008, 02:10 PM

Was he doing it just for show? Didn't appear to be in a race or anything.

So...just how long has there been an exhaust leak in your car?

Just messing with you...because I guess you didn't see his race position being shown on the screen. He was in 1st.

They don't usually do that unless there's a race....as far as I know.

KD57 · 03-31-2008, 02:18 PM

Ha!, I didn't even see that. He must have had a hella lead, goofing off and waving to the crowd and all.

**Clint** · 03-31-2008, 02:29 PM

Actually, I think they were qualifying.

pinky44 · 03-31-2008, 02:32 PM

I watched the race on TV think it happened during the actual race.

**drgibson** · 03-31-2008, 02:43 PM

Just goes to show it ain't over, 'til it's over.

palanon · 03-31-2008, 02:49 PM

No, that was during qualifying.

Hayden did almost the same thing during the race. Lost the front and pushed it back up with his knee and elbow.

Edward's played to the crowd because it was an amazing save and that blew the lap for a qualifying run. No point in pushing it after that.

Apertureguy · 03-31-2008, 03:52 PM

That's why I keep my racing to the video game kind.

Not nearly as much danger.

Navy_p503 · 03-31-2008, 05:31 PM

That was amazing! I can't believe he was so calm about it afterwards.

JmalB · 04-01-2008, 07:29 AM

Actually... I'm guessing it was qualifying. The rider was Edwards, the rider listed in 1st was de Puniet. Further evidence towards qualifying is the fact that he played to the crowd afterwards. Not something to be done while in the middle of a race. Just a guess though.

And yes, that was awesome.
