that's not funny seeing a rider go down like that-I imagine that's pretty much exactly what stephen murray's crash looked like and we all know how f-ed up he is now so show your fellow riders some more respect, that's about as scary a crash as you can get-And as for vod, yikes, no offense but it's not exactly fun to watch this kinda stuff

I absolutely agree i hate crash sections of movies, they put worries into your head not to mention it's gross seeing a guy get bent in half. I wish extreme sports ( mountain biking, skate boarding, moto) wouldn't glorify wrecks as much as they do

#3: Props for tryin it, but im gonna agree with some above posters in suggesting a foam pit on future tries. Best of luck in getting that down though!

Don't think a helmets gonna stop your neck snapping, it'd probably help if anything. I've seen vids of people learning backflips on step-ups, you've less distance to fall then, maybe try that!

like said multiple times above-might help if his bike lands on his face, or stop him from filling his grill with dirt, but it's not going to do jack to stop him from snapping his neck, hell it might actually make that aspect worse

kk think about this for a minut..what is a fullface guna do? a neck brace would help but a fullface would make it worse, the piece infront of your jaw would just make good leverage and help push your heade back even farther putting more stress on your neck. In this case he twisded out a bit and landed on the side of his head wich is what prety much saved his back. All a full face is good for is protecting you from getting a face full of rock or tree.
