A Little Unusual

This cartoon spoofs a pose Tyler Hamilton struck
while going down in a crash on a mountain in Utah.
Greenville, S.C. - Never underestimate the creative power of people who have a lot of time on their hands. That is obviously the case with the cartoon above. It was developed with the help of a series of photos of Rock Racing's Tyler Hamilton - who crashed on a descent at the Tour of Utah earlier this month.

The interesting thing from my standpoint is that these photos only saw the light of day after I submitted them for approval. Normally, a crash is not a good thing. But Tyler did a nice job of "saving" himself from serious injury (and from ripping his clothing). The photos are making the rounds on the Internet now and the cartoon above and at right are complimentary, in my opinion.
