HuH OH!!! What NOT to do...
- Thread starter N8 v2.0
- Start date
He totally grabs a handfull of front brake.... wtf??
Of course I have done that as well, hindsight is 20/20

That could have been avoided if he had a set of these:
i never knew a 14" drop-off w/ raked run-out could be so dangerous
gotta love the pogo action
That is 12" maybe 13" tops. Get back with your PinkBike measuring stick. :nuts:narlus said:
Here we go again.
One thing pictures never do a drop any justice. That is a good size drop when you factor in how much the ground slope. The ground isn't rake the rocks just roll down the hill.
That was a clinic and that was the first time the guy rode there.

You are both actually wrong. It is at least 2 feet, coming around a corner and it drops. I hate that drop, and haven't ridden it the last few times I was there. Not all of us are huckers, ya know.Mtb_Rob_FL said:
Looks like fun to me. (the drop, not the crash)
I love how so many people here have always been expert riders and never made a mistake on the bike.
oh puhleez... I've done that before... no biggie. Heck, I still do it. Just make sure you've got a good helmet.
speaking of which...

I guess that is what I was saying, but you did it far better than I could.
i save my danger-filled moment for those 16" drops. :dancing:Echo said:
Hard to tell if that is a Loco Moto or a Switchblade that he is riding. In any case, I'll take it if the guy doesn't want to ride anymore.

Super Moto I think. I think he thought the fork was soft too.I Are Baboon said:
I think the poor d00d had to have a bunch of stitches in his knee.

Don't miss the Burly Surly thread while you are there. 
this is the result of his friend saying hey I can show you how to mountain bike you can even barrow my extra bike
lol!! That was classic.
Edit: Aww bummer, dude jacked up his knee, didnt look that bad. Still it was a classic endo.

The d00d actually one set done Sat,
With probably another set this week, for the surface skin (1st set was deeper "in").
Bike is a SuperMoto setup in FR configuration, 6" front and rear travel methinks.
D00d is really just learning technical riding, he's got good equipment but a bit of time to go to ride up to the level of the equipment.
He's not a small dude, so he's earned and hopefully learned one hard lesson about center of gravity, getting low on the bike, 'n so forth.
I don't think the fork is low on air, just more plush than he's accustomed to and with a forward-weighted bike hit coming down like that it's no surprise it (almost) bottomed out.

Endo's always suck..
I did one off a table top once and got a full bounce even bottomed out it was very sareal. until I went over the bars
Man!
That guy ripped off my signature move! :mumble:
Hope he is OK , because the actual "move" requires an injury right at the finish (he says with his left arm in a sling).

i wonder what fool told him to run it so squishy...besides quit beating a dead horse they guy grabbed a handful of front brake and went otb end of story if he had not wrecked his knee so bad it wouldent' of gotten the pity party 9 page run that it has over on mojo and just would a been laughter fodder for Monday morning quarterbacking.Bear42 said:

Jeebus - give the dude a blowjob and be done with it, N8.N8 said:Whoa! A Hello Kitty sighting!!!!
LOL...
Dude bit it HARD.
Too bad he got hurt.
Still funny though. Just like it is funny when I do something stupid.
Which I have been known to do.

Of course. I posted on Mojo for you to join Wumpus and myself in Tyler this weekend. We'll be there Friday and Saturday.N8 said:..are you posting from the Ladies Room or where ever it is you hide at when Kitty shows?

Tyler is in good shape. We hit it last weekend.
Why not you and Wumpus drive just a wee-bit further east and hit The Monkey Trail? I think y'all would like it.
finally saw the video -- can't at work. It's not really sad or funny. He's obviously a newbie and wasn't listening to his coaches. I'm surprised they don't have a paramedic on scene to stitch all the n00bs up.
I did something similar a couple years back, needed four stitches and a drain.
So, in summary, don't bother posting stuff like this unless it's funny
