Theres a really rutted very fast straight into that berm with two jumps at the top. At race speed you are hitting that god knows how fast and there are a lot of loose rocks to screw you up. I ate it just out of shot there and it was a real hurter!

and youre ragging on xdannyx because he called you out? youre saying that his pics are lame, o but wait, the only thing you can do is roll down 8 tiny azz stairs! and then skid out because you dont know how to turn...

From my experience a problem like that could have been caused and then just as quickly resolved by having your rebound speed too fast - looks like the front wheel kicked out/jacknifed causing the rider to pitch forward and then forks extended quickly enough to stop rider going over front... of course, I could be completely wrong!
