there is a frame by frame photo of someone stacking in a very similar manner to gazza at stromlo on, i believe, the same jump, in the new issue of revolution..might make you cringe gaz, just thought id share!

Meh, he got up and finished the race.

If you look at the shots you can see his tyre blows just before the lip....

looking at those again i didnt realise just how badly the rear blew! the tyre is totally off the rim by the time he lands lol..yeh gaz i saw that and thought that all looks very familiar! whats it they say about staring demons in the face? Eye-wink i think its something like stare demons in the face Smiling you know a few of us use your crash at stromlo as a gauge of how bad a stack is , a scale on the gazzometer Smiling (1 to gazza- obviously being the epitomy of bad stacks) i think dez hit gazz on the ol meter himself..bad times..the only worse one i can think of (apart from wadell and that kid on 60 minutes) is this:

....it looks like the tyre was under inflated and rolled off the rim as you can see the tube after the crash isn't flat.
