i'm all for great crash pics, but there comes a time when you should put down the damn camera and help them pull the bike out of the bushes. i'm pretty sure i'd have been throwing both obscenities and rocks at the photog if he just stood there snapping pics the whole time.

That bike was far down there, and there was already a tow truck involved, the cameraman would have been getting in the way. Plus I think its a chick.

People helped him once the tow truck got there. They guided it back up the hill. It was a dude.

Doesnt matter either way, the guy still had a seperate job to do and it wasnt to help someone who was already out of danger. If the guy was hurt on the floor broken and squirming in pain and the dude kept taking photos I would have a problem with it, from what the photo tells me, dude was out of danger

sure. not your problem, so why give a rat's ass to lend a helping hand?

put yourself in someone else's shoes for a minute: if you were trying to dig your bike out of the trees and some fool is standing 20 feet away snappin photos instead of helping, would you be happy about it?

Draggin hard parts is usually going to make you go down. Didn't look like that far of a lean angle to be dragging stuff. I think the 600s have better clearance.
