Bestwick's crank failure!

Caught Dew tour finals last night and OH MY WORD!!! Jamies first run of the night and his crank lets go just as he hits the vert! If you havent seen the footage its probably on YOUTUBE ( i cant view from me office) Crank snappage at the pedal end, look like Fly cranks to me too
VERY SCARY

That could have been really nasty, Just as well it was at the begining of his run before he was 12ft out .

what cranks does he use, although they do get some abuse
bestwick rules the vert
and i didnt realise about his neck injurie , he was told he wouldnt ride agian by his docs, good for him to keep on going

Yeah but i'm not positive that thay were Fly on Jamies as thay were in an Odyssey colour way so may have been wombolts.
His current ride, with DK cranks, liking this ride

They might have been fly, but they might as well have been odyssey.
I dont think either are going that well.

bad day when a crank arm lets go
esp at the pedal end, lots of force going down,
narsty,
in my 20 or so years of riding hers a few i've seen break,
redline flights
profiles
primo's
odyssey's
fly's
rnc's
s&m alberts
sugino flights
gt power series
demolition spines
fits
dk's
hutch's
all mtb cranks
they'll all break at some point eh?
