When your riding buddy goes ass over ...

After a bad fall over the weekend at Red Hill, it makes me wonder how people react and it seems most mates would just stand around and watch...
I suppose there's nothing much you can do but personally I drop my rig and rush to their aid, when I see others just hang back and watch.

As the one who generally goes ass over tit when out riding I have found the following etiquette is acceptable:

Rider A : Fall off bike
Rider B: Yell to see if rider is OK
option 1
Rider A: responds with any type of noise to show that your concious
Rider B : Pisses themselves laughing, whilst helping Rider A back onto bike
option 2:
Rider A: No response
Rider B : Controls laughter untill rider A is repsonding.

You've got to be able to have a giggle at yourself otherwise what's the point !!

However my mates just seem to point and laugh after asking if I am alright.

I had a big one a few years back when I was in the Alps and was trying to clean a really narrow line between two big boulders. I collected my pedals on one of rocks and went over the bars and into a stream. My friends just laughed at me.

Will see if I can dig up the photos, they got them as I lined it up, went over the bars and landing in the stream. They are knocking about somewhere.

Would help if you could actually see behind the enormous green advert Sad You tubes getting worse and worse with these things.

Go on then, how can you remove it?
