GWS Chris.  TBH you've done bloody well to 'only' have had a broken leg classed as a worst crash.  Think I top that with fractured spine (2 vertebrae and four ribs) and more recently a fractured pelvis AND hip socket.

Oh bloody hell! He's been getting proper sendy on his MTB if you follow him on Instagram etc, so I imagine its a bit of a hugey!

Get well soon Chris! Sorry to hear that he came a cropper but sounds like he has been having a lot of well earned fun mountain biking and took the crash in his stead as the tough guy he is .

I wonder what happened? I suspect if he hit a tree the tree would smash into tiny pieces and Chris wouldn't even notice.

All those years riding on that terrifying woodwork and an MTB crash is his worst 😮 

IIRC he's an eeb rider, so he might have taken a clobbering from his bike?

Wasn't he a top junior bmx'er, so I assume he's pretty competent when it comes to getting a bit of air.

 

Edit..I'm not saying you are insinuating he didn't know what he was doing..just that I imagine he's not popping wheelies off 6 inch bumps like mere mortals..ie me.

Yeah, he was decent, I think. However, that was a long time ago... 🙂

He's been going mountain biking with Rob Hayles and a few other guys, they've done a lot at Llandegla. Hope he's OK and on the mend quickly.

Track crashes you tend to just slide to the bottom and lose a lot of skin. MTB crashes tend to have trees and rocks and fences and walls and things.
