Cameraman gets rudely acquainted with Subaru Impreza

Here’s yet another reason why I won’t be going to a Rally meet any time soon. The brakes on this Subaru Impreza fail, and faced with a crowd behind the yellow tape the driver has little choice except to steer it off the road. Unfortunately, a gentleman and his tripod get in the way.

If you know any more about this incident (names, whether the cameraman was OK etc) then let us know with a comment below.

Miracle Boy swaps two wheels for four

Dave Mirra is arguably the greatest BMX rider in history. He’s won more X Games medals than anyone else, because he can do amazing stuff on a BMX (like this).

Now Mirra is trying his hand at rallying. He competed in the rally event at this year’s X Games, finishing third - not a bad result for a guy who drove in his first event last year. The event was won by Travis Pastrana, another extreme sportsman who has traded two wheels for four - Pastrana is best-known as the motocross rider who completed an impossible double back-flip at the 2006 Games.

Watch Mirra take third place below. It’s some wild action:

Quote of the day: “It went up in the asshole of Timo (Rautiainen, Gronholm’s former co-driver).”
