well today I had a pretty scary accident, needed to jump over a broken tree from the bend, where the end of the bend was like a hip, was to hard on brakes (shouldn't brake at all), flied to low and front wheel hit the tree and slipped so that i nosedived and hit the ground vertically with my head and shoulder. to compare it looked just like Lehikoinen's crash, but not at that speed and from that height and I was fine...cleared that element 5 min later. had some dirt accidents or tree hits but none of em can say was the worse, but all were uncool...

At Psyscosis this year, I enjoyed rag doll crash on Dead Dod of about 100 feet ending with a comfortable inverted stop against a tree. Only all the dust on the entire mtn found its way between my eye balls and eye lids. oh was fun.

i was at some dirt jumps and i over shot the first jump and came up short on the second when i landed i hit a rock the the helmet broke into my head 5 stitches broke 4 of my ribs and broke my collar bone! i had a really bad concussion.
I had just moved to america from canada so i had to drive to canada to go to the docters lol it sucked i was in soo much pain it was hard to breath and my dad was laughing at me i was out for like 6 months . all i remeber is me being like 6 feet in the air looking at the ground saying to myself ' dude your soo F*cked this time"

Im still recovering from a crash i had a few weeks ago, it was practise day at a 4x event. I was tooling about on a jump on the DH course because the 4x track was closed for another race. Ne hoo i hit it up acouple of times then managed to get my trousers stuck on my chain device, i tried to tug myself loose, but i ended up nose diving into the top of the landing ramp, slid down the ramp on my hip and right elbow. The grit in my arm was so deeply embeded i had a general anaesthetic so they could dig it out! now got stitches in my right forarm and right hip! Big Grin back on my bike yesterday, it felt great!

first time hitting a big step down didnt get nearly enough speed. my front tire barely made, and when it hit my feet slepped off the pedals, and sacked myself and continued down the hill in a nofooted endo
