Dylan Tyre Crash

This was a soft foam tyre on a metal base, which was pegged into rain-soaked ground. Equipment to this show was provided by Adams Agility.

Dylan has never had an issue with the tyre and has never crashed it before. He took off early to this obstacle because I slowed down at the weaves and then accelerated away, and this seems to cause him to take off earlier than usual (particularly when approaching the final obstacle).

Dyl is physically uninjured.

Watching this makes me feel sick, partly thinking that if Dylan had done this five years ago, he would have hit a solid lifebouy tyre with the frame base. I initially thought he had hurt his hip as he turned back towards me, but the show photographer was actually taking photos of this obstacle and showed me immediately that he had hit with his chest. I’m amazed that he is ok.
