Well I hate how good Ruben Xaus is. I can't even get my knee down and he can do this.

Smart arse.

Starting to get sick of that photo!!!

Apparantly its the photos of him on a race prepped 450 with his elbow down as well are the ones to see, still looking for those though.

Until then this is my fave Rubes pic, just goes to show when you push the limits you do get bit and in Rubes case thats alot.

Looking at the angle of the bike to the corner, and the contact patch of the front tyre, I'd say he didn't ride outta that one

holy crap that is nuts, did he come off in the first one? i would gather he went over to the high side from the second one

think you're right Mike, looks markedly like RH disc is on or very close to bitumen, dunno ya can recover from there...

look at the faint black line that looks like it's being left by his rear tyre, so he still has traction, just.

the second one would just be a lowside...

i reckon that skid mark is from the front, i had a bit of taht action up the old road in the wet patches last week, but thankfully i wasnt quite as committed as he is

as for the 1st pic, its bloody awesom!

The RH fork leg will deck out before the disk .... think there is no possible recovery look at the front wheel it has let go
