Moab. About 2005. I promise you he rode that out, or jumped over the bars, I can't quite remember. I do remember closing my eyes and waiting for the sound of crushed bone on rock! Been sorting out my photo archive - so many brilliant memories of MTB trips away. We all looked so young 🙁

Anybody beat that for a 'he's gone... no somehow he hasn't!'

It's funny, but even in the most charitable quarters could not be considered 'a save'. He's clearly had more than a bit of a dab there!

More impressive is how he got himself in that predicament in the first place. Slam on the front brake?
