I also did not see the drop.
(Until I re-watched a third time)
Your dog follows?
Aww cute dog!
Glad your okay, looked like it would’ve been a lot worse seeing the camera pov.
Poppin tops!!
There was a sign, you were doing 10mph max, Pay attention
Man I miss that trail 💔
I don’t wanna be an asshole here but I feel like proper positioning would have saved you. That doesn’t look like a huge drop, how big is it actually?
Looks like a fun trail though.
Pup be all “what the fuck captn?!”
Safety good boy instantly on the scene!
Ive almost crashed there. I think what some people are missing is that the spot you crashed on is actually a depression in the trail. Ive gone off that spot and my rear wheel landed in there and slowed the bike enough to throw my weight forward. I was already looking ahead to the double into the next section of trail. Next thing i knew i was thrown into the bars. It all worked out thankfully. It gets fast through there and crashing has big implications.
Proper riding position would have easily prevented this crash. You’re likely too upright with your body positioning. Bend those knees and elbows and try to get lower on the bike!
Any crash you can walk away from is just a learning experience.. 🍻 Keep the rubber side down!
Proper crash grunt!! Nice.
Does anybody have any type of armor recommendations for mountain biking? I don’t need anything crazy but I don’t wanna break any bones if I fall like this guy did.
