Cairns 2014: Crashing, a videographer and photographer’s view


Standing on the side of a World Cup downhill track is insane. The speeds riders go and how on edge they are means that at times we are centimetres away from disaster.

Here are two points of view from Michael McClean (the unfortunate one) and Damian Breach (the fortunate one) as MS Mondraker’s Markus Pekoll lost a bit of control.

We’re happy to report that Michael is doing fine but his camera was a little worse off.
