He tried taking off from a point a bit further back than where most do, and ended up tapping his rear wheel just a bit on the edge.
oh man ...

yep. only banged his knee though; one of his pad straps came undone somehow and he banged it up pretty good. launched off the rock you can see to the right (his right) of his rear wheel, planning to clear the whole thing. it's doable, but needs more speed than he had. his back wheel juuuuust kissed the rock a bit further out.oh man ...
obviously that was enough.

I maybe one of the lucky few that has never crashed on one of splat's rides.

I fell on my head about twice, but can't compare the speed and height.
I saw my picture here in a quite benign situation.

OUCH! That had to hurt!!
haha, it was so fun!
its such a tech line even with the landing moved like 5' back... its a blind dusty lefthander that empties into the lip with literally no space between the corner and the lip... super fun!

Not much of a crash, but fun to watch, nonetheless.

thats a lot of crashing. suck for the guy who broke his finger, i wonder wut happened with that especialy with the ring on there and all. its all good as long as the riding is fun though. hhaha
took a nasty fall about 3 weeks ago, for those who have been to Diablo Freeride Park it was on the last of the lower Dominions, for those who haven't its a tabletop about 6 feet tall. My guess (as I was knocked out and don't remember the crash) is I thought I was going to land on the transition so I angled the bike down, but overshot it and landed to flat nose first and went OTB. Besides getting knocked out I:
on my left hand- broke a piece on the thumb bone, pushed the entire thumb back about 1/4 of an inch, and destroyed the little wrist bone behind the thumb.
on my right: sheered off the bump on the inner forarm bone, flattened and cracked the round bone that goes in the elbow join and jammed my shoulder in the socket (nothing broke there)
had to get surgery on both arms; three pins to hold my left thmb in place, six screws and a L bracket to connet the sheered off bone, and a screw and reshapinf of my elbow bone.
I don't have any pictures of the crash itself but here are some aftermath shots. Out for the rest of the season though
edit: i have a sweet picture of me on a backboard getting hauled off the mountain, I'll post that once i load it off my friends camera

Small mishap climbing a section on the old Bow Ridge trail - Lynn Woods,MA. Just a little black and blue that could have been way worse.

Here is what a leg looks like after a brake lever goes into it about 3-4 inches deep. Ouch. Healing up good now.
Not good to nail a bunch of stuff under some wet leaves. I nailed the tree, the bike slid all the way down.
Somehow managed to get myself a little too sideways towards the end of the log...

I haven't been on this thread since my leg caught the brake lever. ^^^
Here is one of my arm after a stack at the Sea Otter this year when I dislocated my shoulder and did this to my other arm in practice the day before the race on Sunday... Yummy.
Lets see some more carnage!
