[@mikkelnielsen888]

@@Co-km6cl back then it was rad :D

[@KevinStevens-kevdog]

Wow, I haven't worn cleats like that in ages.

[@ethannestlen1343]

who knew tandem track was such a rough sport 😂

[@An66Fro]

looks epic :P

[@Windyhead]

really interesting to see - thanks for uploading. You can see why they dropped it as an event though - carnage! Do they have brakes on then??? how else did the bike skid so much at 0:50?? look at this skid mark

[@craigwilson4903]

Nope, no brakes. When the first team fell, they damaged the rear wheel on the other bike, locking up the rear wheel. That driver did an amazing job keeping the bike upright for as long as he did.

[@cornpopwasabaddude4729]

And the rear guy still stuck behind the front guy even after the hard fall.

[@GPBraaten]

Ouch.

[@iSabugasSec]

and not a single fuck was given that day.

[@AquaticCoyote27]

That was the calmest crowd for a "sport" I've ever seen.

Δυστυχώς δεν είχαμε 100$ για να κάνουμε ένσταση. Ελλάς το μεγαλείο σου.

[@madamewho]

which year is this from? 1985?

[@ohorok2]

There are no "the new one" and "the old one" country after dividing Czechoslovakia.
That was a Federation of two countries. Czech Republic isn't successor of Czechoslovakia they just use old flag.
PS: White and red are colours of Czechs, a blue triangle represents symbol of Slovakia or maybe High Tatras

[@KadaverKurt]

Front guy farts hard too push his comrad at the back.
