I mean, everyone has had a bad crash (or 10), so lets see some pictures of some crashes. It's always sweet to look at the faces before the crash, and it's always sweet to see other people crash (unless its you crashing, or they break something) Anything, street, downhill, freeride, you name it.

He's lucky he's whering a pressure suit and other good protection gear.These days riding in full protection gear is a must in those DH races.

I have some 661 4x4's that are uncomfortable, and they would have slid down anyways.

I was avoiding a big branch and went about a foot to the right of the regular line, which sent me off a 1 foot drop that got me a little off balance. Unfortunately I was a bit over the bars going off the step down that was immediately after the 'drop,' and that sent me OTB. :poster_oops:

Nice strakar, that is awesome, looks like he was going fast...

Do you think crashing is a skill? I mean, sometimes you'll see someone that's a good rider eat it so hard, and then they get up and walk away without an injury.

Keep em comming guys!

Not a horrible crash or anything, just a sweet picture.
Practice at good ol' Fontucky. Wind blew me over in the air.

Yes, very much so. A good rider will know in alot of situations(not all) that they can't save it so they might bail before it gets worse. Hanging on till the last second is not always the best way. Keeping your arms in(i.e not supermaning) will also save your shoulders better.

Was that the part where the amatures had to do around the step-down after the step-up? I saw someone ride down it and pile into the tree.

Nope but i did take that option because the tree i hit separated my shoulder and I had to ride down like a pvssy. It was durring the JR.X race.

I hit the tree to the left of the first drop on the rock three step thing.

I have some pics of my 3 pins sticking out of my shoulder from a broken collar bone (it was BAD) but i cant upload them cuz of gay camera. The crash also came with broken shoulder blade, and first rib.
