 @shreds- my thoughts exactly. You think that dude could at least walk over there instead of waiting for everybody else to go check on him.

 @shreds You can't just go check on injured people at events like that. There's actually rules where you're not allowed to go x amount of feet near them. You have to be either EMT certified, or a paramedic, it's for legal purposes.

 The dude standing there just wants to make sure that he can take his bike from him and ride the rest of the way down. Just like in WC DH, its becoming the norm now.

 His lucky his wheel hit the ground, if he rotated any more he would have been face first. That wheel hiring first defiantly helped lessen the impact and even than it was still crazy heavy. Lucky to get up uninjured. Good to see the camera man was worried hahaha he didn't even move.

 Or maybe they don't want to put all the force on their collarbone and have their collarbone break from a crash like that?
  • 19 4
 Ummmm collar bone or neck? Yep I'd snap my collar bone thanks, like I have already
  • 6 1
 Yes sewer-rat, he is clearly trying to be cool by not wearing a neck brace. This guy was wearing a full face for bmx contests I don't think he is worried about his image.

 They restrict movement.

 so does being in a wheelchair ^

 i think its alot harder to flip in a neckbeace as you cant see as much?
  • 9 1
 Its a choice they are making and they know the consequences. I ride with a neckbrace.

 Well said. i completely agree

 Antoine Bizet doesn't seem to have any problems flipping with a neck brace. Super uncool and super cool cancel out. Therefore he = Cool Frenchman

 Since when did neck braces become uncool? I've always thought they look sick, personally. It's probably just a vision thing.

 If you are doing tricks you need full range to view the landing before you come around to judge your rotation. A neck brace would drastically restrict their ability to spot landings. Although I'd rather learn to deal with that than break my neck. But hey each to thief own.
