[Closed] rider down at GT today 🙁

the black drop option? healing vibes to the fallen

ouch! Thats a long way down if you get it wrong

Hope he heals soon

Yes tony, the black option, i buzzed my arse on the back tyre doing it (basically i fell down it & survived)

oof yeah that must be 8 feet to flat or something, a long way headfirst. nastay.

It's got steeper over the years too, not that I ever go down it.

Think it's actually got less steep, it's rollable these days. Still wouldn't want to drop from the top to noggin though.

From my experience a hyper-extended neck will just mean a sore neck for a while. When I did the same knock-out/hurt neck combo at Inners I just rode down the hill. I'm tough as **** like that though, didn't want to waste money on some fancy ambulance with wings 😉

I think its got steeper - worn away under the log makes rolling it a bit dodgy now. Don't like the drop either - not enough run in for me although others cope 😉

Hope he is OK

Hope he's ok

Is it this bit?:

If so, that is nooooo rollable!

That's not it, that's at the freeride area.

This is it I think,

ouch I know that drop. Never fancied it myself (and I've done the one at the freeride park many times), theres zero run in and its pretty much a drop to flat. I can imagine it being nasty if you get it wrong.

Hope its not serious. Stay safe out there kids...

Remember the first time I rode that, followed someone else down it so didn't know what I was letting myself in for.

Got a bit of a surprise to say the least.

i rolled it 3 weeks ago in the snow...i thought it was fine.. :-)i dont think hitting it flat out would be wise though

Not a good bit at all to OTB.

Apparently i had eyes like saucers the first time i did it.

Healing vibes.

Watching the air ambulance struggle in the gusting winds was scary too, close proximity of trees!

Ouch! 🙁

Get Well Soon.

Ride it all the time, always breath a sigh of relief when its over.
