Well, he actually flew over their heads :) We were standing just behind a small crest which was a gently sloping right. After that was an uphill and a 90 degree right so what the drivers had to do right after the crest was to break the pace of. Most of them, including Loeb even did break before the crest. Anyway, there was a deep and relatively wide ditch between the road and our spectating point. Many cut just to the edge of the ditch and as they had break before the crest, they went neatly ( and boringly ) to the uphill. But when Galli came, he cut OVER the ditch and the car got a jump from some stone and basicly FLEW right before us so we could see the bottom of the car and to the other side of the road to another ditch when he started breaking :D I'm not lying, the car wasn't too far from us and a young couple actually falled down as he went by. It was unbelievable :D Mikko took the same place very good too. And Juha Salo.

the place is about 200m ahead from where Mikkelsen vent off, his off was really a close call, 1m more to the right and he would have to look for a new co-driver, both guys was in kind of a chock.

Luckily for him the rallyforum.com psychology crew was on the spot to give first aid. :p

Good work. It's never smart to show the faces of FRM members. If you did you'd wake up with a reindeer head next to you in the morning......

Do you see a face on that pic, apart from Mikkelsen? ;)

That's why I said good work ;)

Back from Finland and once again must say it was an amazing experience :up: the stages we spectated were cool especially the one were Mikkelsen went off (not because of that though) We were just on that long straits before the jump Mikkelsen missunderstood or got a wrong note as he told me ;) Anyway from were we where we could see who had the balls to not to brake before the jump, only 4 drivers didn't brake : Loeb, Mikko, Gigi and Atkinson :s mokin: Again our Finns forumers were great, everything was perfectly organized, so a big big thanks :up: to everyone who was there and did a great job. See you next year Guys :D
