Saw this on another forum, and assuming this has either been up here before(or pre-hack version) or if someone knows how hospitalised the guy got himself? I'm assuming he lives? but for some obscure reason curious how bad it was

I heard that there was actually no crash. Camera angle makes him look much further forward than he actually was and he landed perfectly.

Whether that is true or not, I have no idea.

Was on the old forum. Has any one got the you tube link? Pretty amazing IMO.

Think he either lands on his feet or rolls and jumps to his feet. He looks more surprised at that than the audience!

I saw the vid a long time ago, I think he sort of break falls then rolls a bit. Not as nasty as it might look from the pic but still.......brown trouser material

Donning my conspiracy hat:

Where's his shadow?

Given the angle of the other shadows, it should be up somewhere near the kicker.

Seen this, its amazing, he lands on his feet and runs it off.

I'd like to see him do it twice!

If you're being clever/nosey enough to look where the pic was hosted, you could have gone and had a nosey round the site? have a look in the MTB pics
Its picked up from about 5 active members in 2005/2006 to maybe 50* now as a guess, though not per ride
*roadies plus MTBers
