Some of you will have seen this already, it's done the rounds on facebook a bit and been featured on a couple of websites.

For the rest, enjoy!


The vid is of me following my friend Brian at a race this weekend. You can't really make it out in the video, but the bit where he crashes is a jump about 20ft out and 5ft down. It's really not that big at all, but there's no lip on the takeoff, and you have to be absolutely tanking it to clear the lip of the landing. On this run, with a bit of a headwind, he wasn't tanking it enough...

These carbon Demos sure do bounce when you crash!

Generally good. They feel very secure, though I don't think I've crashed on them much yet. A bit uncomfortable around the back of the knee sometimes, but I only notice it when I'm not riding, and it's easy to slide them down a bit. Might buy a second set for those muddy weekends away, so I guess I like them.

Yeah yeah, he's fine. Tucked and rolled well, not a mark on him really. Bike appears ok as well.
