This is why you don’t brake check right before the lip of a jump (OC, yesterday, my back hurts now)

You are damn lucky that it was a Step up.
I love when people do commentary on these vids. Well done.
Pedal in the air. You probably could have avoided the crash. ETs will lift the nose. Better for minor fuckups, but might have even worked here
What happened here? Why did you brake check right before the jump, thought you had too much speed? It’s usually the last thing I’m thinking of doing before take off.
I have flashbacks watching that video. I did exactly the same 3 years ago. Panic break before jump cause I thought I’m going too fast and then squiz the bike. I went otb same way. I was scared to jump again for quite a wille.
Reminds me of Tony’s last ride 🙁 glad it wasn’t as bad as it was for Tony
Back pain > neck pain. Time for some yoga and muscle relaxers.
You can most certainly brake check before a jump. This looks more like you loaded the rear of the bike up the lip by leaning back instead of standing up to the lip.
Dead sailor pov.
Did the same exact crash on the same trail, same jump last year, but damn is drop out one fun trail
