My leg sounded like that, when I broke it in a footie match back in my yoof.
Ok, probably not, but it did make an audible crack.

Might as well have made a big wedge and hammered it between the wheels! Did enjoy watching the wheel bounce around though.

Anything to do with carbon forks or more down to the fact he came up short and stacked into the lip??

He came up short for sure. But dave from identiti bikes told me two carbon forks popped that day (not identiti products) He then showed me a prototype fork that his team use.... It is steel.

Best considered as the single speed crashing champs. Great day out.

I like carbon, I sell carbon, I use carbon.... But personally if I had the talent to race bmx at that level, I would probably not use a carbon fork. But then you don't get many 15 stone plus bmx racers.

I watched the racing and everyone was going for broke, flat out racng, win or burn. And this ethic of all or nothing probably comes over to the weight vs durability of their gear.

Has to be said, takes some talent to park up both bits right down there out of everybody's way
