Henry Kerr’s crash

Well race runs took a nasty spiral for me yesterday. Was on an alright run from what I could remember until I got a bit off line coming into this little gap but was already committed and sent me for a swift left right goodnight for a couple minutes and definitely my most scariest crash ever. Got the all clear from the hospital last night and there is nothing other than a sore neck and a big old concussion so gonna take the next couple weeks out to recover up. Would like to give a massive thanks to the medical team for being quick to attend me, my team for being so supportive and all the kind messages I have received over the past 24hrs @propain_bicycles @sixpackracing @veetireco @officialleatt @srammtb @rockshox @stansnotubes @extremeshox @onealracing @monsterbike_shop #mtb #downhill #crash #valdisole #KO #dh #out4thecount #downhillcrash #lightsout

George Thompson

After taking a 17 year break from exercise, George rediscovered mountain bikes in 2008. Six years later, at 40 years of age he started racing Downhill and the following season somehow ended up on the Revolution Bike Park Race Team. As the other members of the team fought for podiums and National Series victories, George searched for mid-pack mediocrity. In a bit to add some value #makingupthenumbers was born; a blog about their race weekends and in particular life towards the back of the field.
