Thats not surprising. I wonder how long those oz and cf wheels last with multiple tire changes and all the abuse they go through.

Can you imagine? When I first saw it I thought someone just fucked up and didn't torque the castle nut, or missed the pin. Then, saw the pictures.

That was my first thought as well along with, "Someone in the pit crew is getting their ass beat after that one"

But then I realized that there's probably nothing they could have done short of replacing the full assembly ahead of time (hindsight = 20/20 etc etc)

I figured it was some sort of failure, when I first saw it it was just the wheel, and no spokes or hub in the middle rolling down the track.

The real question is weather or not he can still wheelie? Or is he gonna be a professional model/stuntergirl?
