At the lithgow round of the nationals i crashed out in practice in the fast section at the bottom (yes i was the one who held up morning practice on sunday). Did anyone loose a bolt about this big >>>(---------------) in practice? When i pedalled the bike for the first time since the crash i noticed that something was off. My cranks were jammed. Upon further inspection i found that a stray bolt had found it was into my crank (between the chainring and the back plate of my chainguide). I'm assuming this is the cause, as i checked the entire bike and it wasnt mine.

Did anyone notice other bolts or anything similar on the track?

The cool thing is that i hit the tree before then bike, then fell under it. So the bike didnt touch the tree or the ground. The bolt stripped a bit off the guide plate(inside plate), but nothing else.

I found a piece of steel at the top of the track aswell, so am i just lucky or was there pieces on the track?

That sums it all up
