Dh trail on Ht wasn't a good idea. Somehow I broke my nose with a fullface helmet😂 (nothing serious other then that)

Fucking ouch
You’ve got yourself out on that trail, but don’t have the natural instinct to stand up in that situation? Oof.
Dude, look at your fork crying for help before you even hit that first drop. It looks like either a 100mm fork or running 50% sag. Right before you go OTB you can see the fork, you, and your legs are fully compressed. There was nothing to absorb the momentum when you hit a rock.
Classic seat bounce. Never sit on the downhill. You’re buns should be behind the seat to counter balance the situation. Live and learn. On flat ground practice rocking all the way back over the rear tire and holding that posture for as long as you can. Those muscles that start to scream after 40 seconds of holding are the ones you need to build for skill you want to learn. Find a nice grass hill to bomb down. Hold the posture, shred. Set a goal to practice this skill for a few weeks, then go back to conquer the “nose breaker.”
You are well on your way, buddy. Keep shredding! This sport is a journey measured in seasons. Next season, you will look at this video differently.
Being on a HT isn’t the issue here
How did that feel, lol. Body checking a bunch of rocks can’t be fun, good thing your biking school has you well protected with a full face.
