Another rider taken out on Livewire... Rich (surfinguru) went down this weekend on the step-up. Details aren't too clear, and he doesn't remember much because he had a pretty good concussion. Aside from that he ended up with a pretty bad separated shoulder. Heal up soon man! Apparently another guy went down right after Rich was whisked off the mountain in exactly the same spot.
Careful out there...
When big/fun features are made ppl are going to get broke off, that's the nature of the beast, but we still want them there (and more of them)
I'm a decent dirt jumper (on a hard tail at least) and I still haven't cleared / caught backside on those.
They are big, fast and the consequences are severe if you go down
Pre-inspect, know your limits, accept that you may get hurt...
PS: to the latest crasher, heal up soon mang
