oh damn.
that guy is a poster child about the dangers of clipless pedals mixed with DH.
I bet he's wishing he could trade those knee pads for a full-face.
ahhhhh... the old spine snapper

That's gonna leave a mark! 
Ahhh....The seldom seen and, more oft than not, never repeated "Scorpion Of Death" manuever....All that's missing is the audio of him screaming as his spleen breaks...
full sequence.
Dang. If he just would have held onto the bars he probably would have ridde away from that.
Or not. Probably not. Nope definately not. Ouch.

O....M....G.....
Left Hip = Done...
Right Side of Face = Done...and maybe a little broken...
Ass into Rock = Done...
Missing Right Shoe = Done...
Gawd....I thought the one pic was bad....not so!! Anyone know how he came out of this?? Was it a laundry list of bones and stitches??

At least he saved some money by not buying a full face helmet.

I'm sure his dentist thanks him.SkaredShtles said:At least he saved some money by not buying a full face helmet.

I'm pretty sure it didn't hurt as much that his bike came, as that face to the rock thing did.
That picture is so old he was probably the only dude clipped in...
that's why he was haulin' such ass just before this. He probably
designed the Switchblade. And riser bars afterwards.

Except I (and this might be just me) don't put GG in the same category as Iggy, hell, I don't think GG was all here on Earth anywayz......GG was in a place all his own. I mean did Iggy ever take a crap on stage?? And if he did...did he ever turn around and eat it....I think not.jdschall said:
And I was expecting to see a Thomson enema...
I heard so much about this wreck - our friends who weren't racing in Brianhead couldn't stop talking about it (not an old pic BTW - this happened a couple weeks ago at the Brianhead NORBA). They said the guy was up and riding in a split second and appeared to have made it through this without a scratch. They said it was the most spectacular and improbable wreck they'd ever seen in their lives. Not to mention he was the only guy they'd ever seen racing Expert DH in goggles and an XC helmet and had his seatpost jacked up like he was racing XC too...
Cool as hell to see the pics. Thanks!

I almost did that today at Jiminy Peak. Pics coming later...

and dont forget jean shorts w/a belt
one foot is, one foot isn't. check out the next frame:Wumpus said:
a friend of mine broke his foot when he landed a drop poorly, the bike shot out from under him, but his foot didn't unclip initially. to top it off, it's on vid. it's actually kinda funny when you the shoe fly off.
Man, that's awesome, in a sick sort of way. Glad he got through that unharmed!
It still looks like his foot is unclipped. Look how the outside of the pedal is in front of his foot.narlus said:one foot is, one foot isn't. check out the next frame:
And his foot is twisted too much to be still clipped in in this pic:

Do you bother to read a whole thread before making comments?
Because this is what I was talking about. I say the bike would have come with him with or without clipless pedals.

What an epic picture sequence....I can't believe that his face didn't implode on that rock outcropping!!!! Quite possibly the luckiest guy ever!!!

I like seeing how the people behind him respond, especially the dude in the sunglasses
