I've got xrays that look just like that from last summer. I was a slow healer - 4 months off the bike and still feel it now. I hope he;s a quickie - i know people who have been back in action in 6-8 weeks.

Oooh , you can see the wire lift now you've pointed it out. Unlucky but where did it come from, there isn't a fence in sight ?

Hmmm, if its the drop that i'm pretty damn sure it is then it aint that big, angle of the cam make it look bigger, prob 4 foot or so.
We've cleared some bits of thick wire from the landing there before, obviously more that we didn't see...
Not naming any locations (please 😉 ), are you or some of the other riders in that vid local to that area then Ton??
