Shaun Haddlington's crash video

Fuck sub 5lb frames. I know that this example is an over-average impact for any frame, but Jason Phelan’s frame did the same thing in Cologne from just landing a 360 a little heavy over a spine.

So, once again, fuck sub 5lb frames. Heat treated bullshit.

fuk man is he ok

a T-1 Would have taken that!

SHAUN IS KING.

Shaun is too good and the world doesnt know it. That also was one of the best things I have ever seen!
almost as good as the alex kennedy 180 Fit snap at FISE

I heard Shaun got that frame pretty cheap – ‘half price’ I think?

Definitely a ‘cracking deal’ either way, I just hope he hadn’t got too ‘attached’ to it.

Jason Phelan’s got one just like that too – ‘snap!’

pulled

glad to see he was wearing a helmet

unknown totalled

Bob, are you serious? For what it’s worth, Jason went just as high and landed just as flat as Shaun did here.

shittt riderr

lol whos francis im jack dean

5 shots

as if he didnt pull that! he sucks! na im all good, just bruised to hell, it looks sooooo savage! lol i was lucky man but thanks to anyone that came over to see if i was ok. it was nice

i was basically 2 meters away from this. so hectic. he took so hard bails before this too. good to see he was ok though

I’m with chicken on this one. pulled.

2 frames snapped in competition in one weekend.what the fuck..apparently the whole unkown team go through a frame a week though so maybe these top of the range bikes are designed purely for the people sponsored cos they dont have to pay for replacements?

Any frame would have broken in that situation, think about what was being done and the forces involved, its not like he 180′d a curb. In a sense Shaun is lucky it did as it allowed him to fall in a completely different way to how he’d have landed if the frame creased, the accident could have been a lot nastier on his body. No frame would have been rideable after that impact even if it hadn’t snapped. People’s expectations of their frames capabilities are ridiculous, that was a 20ft landing to flat with all the force going through the forks and acting in shear on the head tube. People demand light frames and then bitch about them when this freak occurrence happens and blame it on bad engineering, I’m sure the engineering behind this frame and Jason Phelan’s frame is sound but at the end of the day it’s a tube of steel that is fatigued day in and day out and eventually it will fail, especially when subjected to massive loading.

JARD <3

nice bike- bad landing ……… get well bwoi =[

I was there and i am pretty sure the frame was a federal but im not shaw which one

Argh mate, i bet that hurt , that looked like and alright frame as well.

yea tbh F**k lighter than 5lbs and tbh i think most 2 week old frames shuld be able to withstand that

wat kind of a shity frame was that

ahahahahahaha unlucky biy :L
