and rotor, and a lot more…

great pic, that rotor should straighten out with an adjustable!

Amazing photo – how well I know that feeling of just gripping the bars and hoping for the impossible…….

yep some of my friends who i used to ride dirt jumping with were really good at bailing to protect themselves, i always seemed to hold on til the bitter end 😆

There's a certain amout of flex in all wheels, I bet that would pretty much spring back once he takes the weight off it! 😕

i'd like to see how he entered into that position…. where was he going? what was he doing?

'mouth open' expression of spectator top right says it all……… ouch ….. 😯

Video

I've no idea how he did that on a unicycle. It's magnificent.

Almost as impressive as this from last Sunday

oooh showboating :FAIL:

can't quite see if he landed that fully 50/50

Fantastic photo, I'd be bl00dy chuffed to have taken that. When the fork extends he'll just bounce into a forward roll and land it on the rear wheel. Easy peasy!

Good job on rolling him off the course there, last thing we want lying on a middle of trail is paraplegic.

I'd be having stern words with my wheel builder.

And my frame supplier!

"I bet that would pretty much spring back once he takes the weight off it!"

It looks like the rim has unpinned itself or snapped though

In the original vid I had to laugh at the fat guy in the red t shirt struggling to walk up the hill the guy who wiped out was about to ride down.

And bizzarrly in the BMX video right at the end there was a one armed marshal, bit unexpected.

sorry, how do you spot these things?

not one of yours was it, mike?

that's what i thought Drac. He was in a perfect recovery position. Send someone up course to stop more riders and leave him where he is. If 2 people and know how to take a helmet off, then remove.

Better an intact spinal cord on the track than a paraplegic off it.

in true DH style you'll notice he's still looking ahead and covering the brakes..

drac +1

and Wacko +1, it's that 'I'll ride this out yet' attitude that gets you into the worlds in the first place 8)

No Alpin, it wasn't one of mine. I would love that guy to ride for my team though!
