apologies for killing my start

[Ice]

Fell down at the start of CC which really slowed Matt Diehl and whomever was directly behind me. Dumped the clutch and whiskey throttled myself into the ground. Right after Matt told me to be careful.

Not a problem for me. You just delayed my two lap appearance and then back to the pits. Too slick for the tires I had.

You are lucky I didn't have my camera on or you would be another you tube sensation like someone else I know from the mra......search loop 250 .....

Glad you are ok.

Thanks again Kionka for posting this!!
Hopefully there is a video of yours so we can compare notes!!!

I just watched it, Lars - love that you kept yours up. Not only do I have first person video... My girlfriend got it on video from the tower. In the interest of fairness, and the amazing amount of laughter Chadwick got out of it, I'll throw it up on YouTube for all.

Actually, i dropped it. picked it up. came through pit lane, Shannon and Scott Rybo "teched" my bike and then let me back out there only to have me lowside in turn 2 of HPR.

A Facebook friend stole my vid and added a soundtrack. I have it on my GoPro but haven't ripped it, yet.
