Irish rider Eamon Byrne begins the fall that saw him crash off the track at high speed and into a photographer and race official, as you'll see in the clip below.
The Dublin Thunder team from Ireland enjoyed a fantastic first outing at the inaugural World Cycling League in LA at the weekend.
The new series is based around teams rather than individual riders and will travel the US looking to fund itself via ticket sales, sponsorships and TV deals.
And when the first ever meeting was held in the US at the weekend, the Irish gave as good as they got.
One man who returned home slightly bent out of shape was sprinter Eamon Byrne.
A photograph and official are forced to dive for cover, but luckily there were no serious injuries.
