Rider Gets The Business End Of A Tree

Sometimes there is a crash so dramatic and implausible that the universe seems to pause and reset everything as if to say, "Let's take that back and pretend it never happened."

Zac Stratton's crash that you are about to see is one of those instances.

This crash, but mostly Zac surviving this seemingly unscathed, makes no sense. How could a slam that explosive have absolutely no repercussions?

We don't understand it but it's good to see that he did come away from this without any serious bodily harm.

Zac went on to put up a solid showing in a Junior's World Cup last year with a finish in the top 15 at the Snowshoe, West Virginia race last fall. Hopefully he can parlay that chaotic energy into some more solid finishes this next season and work his way up to Elites in time. The World Series needs more of that kind of wildman energy right now.
