hmmm, I'd say it could have been prevented if BMX bikes actually used V-brakes instead the the "slow you down only" U-brakes

Yeah it looks like it, he cut it a little too close on the inside and slipped off or something. Looks like a cool wall ride though.

Nasty. I watched a friend of mine break his jaw skiing in high school. It was a hell of a lot worse than that.

Never ride without a helmet, our neighbor got hit by a car mtb'ing and is now a quadrapalegic. His brain however is perfectly functioning. Doesn't matter if your just riding down the street, always wear atleast a basic helmet.

Excuse me if I am wrong, and I may very well be, but I am under the impression the becoming a quadrapalegic has nothing to do with head injuries, but more to do with spinal cord injuries.......

I have heard bmx photographers encourage riders to not wear helmets, where mtb photo guys will not film you unless you are wearing one.

Not that anything but a full face would have saved that kid...

dang.......that's as bad as the faceplant a dude did in the Island Trials video. Just makes you cringe and never want to do anything daring.
