Rally is definitely not glamorous! More behind the scenes doing extreme desert rally... Absolutely brutal days with a lot of rocks and insane heat at the Morocco Desert Challenge. The peak temperature was 48 degrees. The last 100km took a serious amount of digging deep and I had a huge off 30 km from the end. Seriously hard riding in the heat. 6 bikes over took me while I recovered myself from the off and my confidence definitely took a hit. It was a HARD DAY! The good news is I have the off on video (it is rather spectacular). It ripped my helmet clean off but the Alpinestars airbag saved me, deploying before I hit the ground. Seriously winded but unhurt, I cracked on but lost my pace big time. I tried to crack on as best I could knowing the end was close… 😤
Bike is all good. I had to wiggle the grips etc straight after the off but he’s a beast!! And he took it like a hero. I’m nervous about the weight in the dunes but I’ll do my best. Super pleased with my nutrition, the new Tail Wind energy electrolyte in my water is definitely keeping my energy more stable.
Body is shattered but lots left in it!!
And eeeeek... Proud to be placing 24th mid way through! I have been a mess on making the bivoauc, mostly from heat!!
Next episode we hit the dunes … stay tuned.

@MeerkatADV Год назад

Honestly the scariest part of that was your helmet coming off. There is absolutely no way that should have been able to happen!

@rd2957 Год назад

Yeah, what happened there!?

@MLoms Год назад

True. Vanessa how did that happen? Was it strapped too lightly? Did your airbag come off?

@koalaboyTT Год назад

Or not strapped at all? That was not good to see

@davehoward22 Год назад

I don't strap mine all the time

@MeerkatADV Год назад

@davehoward22 now you see why that's a bad idea.

@TheGirlOnABike Год назад

Thankfully I'm OK. I had a pretty bruised up chest/belly from hitting the tower and a pulled neck. Mid an extreme desert race battling mental heat (that actually took lives) I mad a dumb error of not fastening my helmet at the 1 neutralisation stage where we get 20 minutes mid way through the 425km off road stage. My mind was so focused on fueling, water, checking bike, trying to eat, attaching water pipe to helmet, not being late etc my mind just totally missed my helmet buckle. I'm only human and totally messed up. Although in this very unusual situation I think it actually helped me. When my chin caught in the sand and pulled the helmet, it was able to come off. My gut says if it hand not been undone it might have ripped my neck even more. Maybe some power out there was looking after me but I will definitely be being far more vigilant with my pre pull away checks in the future!! Such an idiot. I'm only human and doing my best, and I did come 24th overall so I definitely wasn't slow 💪💪💪 some might say I should not have shared this video but if you've followed me for a while you'll know I share all angles, not just the ones that "make me look good". Real honest truth. Life is a big learning journey ❤️

@mikelapic5945 Год назад

Great job Vanessa!! You rock girl!

@stefanosemisa9288 Год назад

Ma'am... The helmet.. I love your videos, I love your character in these amazing stories and adventures, but please don't kill yourself. It came off like nothing. Keep it fastened!! Please. Anyway as always, nice video!! We love you, God bless you! Keep it safe! Have fun!

@02Sunan Год назад

Thought the same things, What a crash but that helmet got off way too fast

@woodsracer181 Год назад

Vanessa Vanessa Vanessa, What’s with the helmet coming off? That will never happen if it’s strapped on your head tight. Im very surprised at you!🤨🤬 I know you know better! Be careful out there and make sure you take the 🏁. And that word!😂 I love it. Be Good Vanessa!❤️

You helmet was the wrong size or it was not tied tight enough.... Consider yourself VERY lucky.

@snozed9994 Год назад

I don't understand how the helmet could have come off? Can someone enlighten me please? Doesn't look like the buckle snapped? Just looked at your page, says you were in an accident with a car at a traffic light, lots of surgeries etc... I am not one to give lessons, at all, but riding a bike without a strapped helmet is a bit like riding a car with no seatbelt. It's dumb! Glad for you your bionic neck didn't snap against a rock or something else but I can't like this video just for that and think that you should not be promoting riding bikes without a strapped helmet!! Bikes should be respected. No like or suscribe from me, sorry to be an arsehole, just my opinion!

@JEmmertz Год назад

Good to hear all beep-beep's when you hit the marks, but sad you had to produce a few of your own when being tossed off brutally. I remember how I followed you on the map during the race, but the intensity that comes through on screen now is another level than watching a moving GPS tracker. You are one of a kind, Vanessa! ⭐

@2congo2 Год назад

The beep beep are from the others coming up and passing her and when she is close to other vehicles out front

@JagLite Год назад

Ah, I just watched you crash in super slo-mo and I see the helmet strap was not fastened. Oops! I've done similar things when competing and trying to focus on many different things in a high stress situation. A checklist would be a smart thing to have, not that I ever think of it...

@matthewtoes6433 Год назад

When you fell off that ledge that appeared from nowhere Don't know what I would of done there sometimes speed can be your friend I would of gassed it & tried to land on the back wheel such hard conditions

@thra5herxb12s Год назад

Not the cleverest idea to not fasten a helmet. The strap is there for a reason, and that is to keep the thing on your head when it hits the ground.

@aderiley6592 Год назад

Jeez girl you're nails! But ffs sort that lid issue out, we wanna keep seeing you around for a while yet...

@Africatwinrider1 Год назад

Helmet not fastened. Crazy. Glad you're ok. Learn from it

If you pause the video it looks like the helmet strap isnt done up, either a mistake or a very bad decision.

Good dam it. Good to see you're okay after the crash. Really scary to see the helmet fly, and thank god the airbag deployed. All the best and take care.

@enduromotorradtouren 11 месяцев назад

I can't stand the whinging anymore! :(

@C_R_O_M________ 8 месяцев назад

Don't want to sound patronizing but: - When you get to a ledge and you can't avoid but going down, never cut the throttle like you did or you'll face plant the bike (like you did). Instead gas her and land with the rear. - You were so lucky that you didn't hit a rock with your head when you crashed in the sand without strapping your helmet on (!!!!). Never forget to go through all the safety routines before you start a ride! That was not good. Thank God you are ok!

Just up and rode 30km on with a potentially busted gut, got yourself ready for the next day and kept going. Brilliant brilliant stuff.
