Wooooow i give him alot of credit for launching that one with soo much speed. That how you know it soo huge when rider going that fast and in air soo long. Look like he caught a bad drift in the air but impact too much to hold on. 6 days not so bad for that massive a crash. I was in hospital 3 weeks for smaller crash. I guess it all depends on what you break and how many surgeries you need. Either way bigups and heal up quick.
