Bottoming Out Hard. Popped 2 spokes out of my front DeeMax and got a black eye. (helmet strap was tight)

10ft drop over Spa sign. Face to bars and yes the chin strap was tight. Popped 2 spokes out of my front DeeMax.

The Drop

Drop off Only. 10ft Drop over Spa sign.

knew someone would say that. It WAS tight. Try pushing up on the chin part of your fullface, I bet it will do the same thing.

considering guys do the same on bmxs and are fine, it could definitely be avoided with better technique.
