  • 51
 dirtjumper771, dude ya broke 8 bones in 11 places, now thats intense i ruined my shoulders not too long ago and that was my worst injury dislocated my right, i seperated my left and broke my clavicle in 2 places and dettached all my legiments all in one crash (wasnt painful just annoying pain couldnt move)
my injuries are from mtb and mx though, i blew appart my right ankle twice, shattered knee cap, broke tibula and fibula (only hurt for not even an hour) uhh what else ahaha i broke my arm digging (lmao i fell backwards down a hill and landed on my arm with my back that didnt even hurt just in shock) but thats it i guess its nto as much as i thought

I broke my elbow and humourous in one crash on my bmx, needed suregery (2 plates and 13 screws), I broke my leg (tib/ fib) in mx, my foot (4 bones) mx, i dislocated my right shoulder, my hip, (my right leg was 6 inches longer than my left. I didnt have crutces with me so i put that leg on part of my bike and pushed myself around using my good leg), and that was from mx (i got landed on by apparently 9 different bikes. Spectators told me XD), and i have ;lacerated my spleen, i got punched for that one. But arthritis is gonna suck, aint it
  • 10
 ohh ouch dude a hip injury would suuuck i seen one guy at on a trail hit a rock get bucked off over the bars and go into the trees, he broke his hip to ( and i htink his femur or something) but i never heard a guy yell so hard in my life hahh had to cut his pants off. i think that wouldbe one of the worst to break props dude. where abouts do yah race i race b class in atlantic canada but my passions fmx just started ramping only race for fun,cheers homie!

 www.pinkbike.com/photo/6134675 thats should be pod
  • 90
 I just want to stress the point that this is not my photo. All cred goes to Neil Thompson
  • 10
 that guy is amazing. he is at all the state rounds.
  • 80
 and that tree looks big.
  • 50
 for a second I thought that it's a sequenceBig Grin nice picture(y)
  • 20
 haha i thought it was a sequence till i read your comment went back and looked
  • 10
 lol! the first gut is wearing blue and yellow and the guy behind him is wearing white black and blue.
  • 30
 This was already pod. Plus its not even his photography. The dust by the roders in the back is cool but the light infront of the front rider... Not so much
  • 10
 That's the best looking train i've ever seen,all because of a camera,nice one Neil Thompson,
you caught this shot to perfection,the light through the trees,riders focosed on the rocks and roots,of what loox like a pretty tricky section,props to the photag.

 If anyone wants to see some video footage from the track pictured, I have a little web series that I am making at the moment called The Premier State. Episode 2 is at the track pictured and it can be found here:

Also, an interview in Episode 3 with the photographer of the picture, Neil Thompson, can be found here in Episode 3 at Mt Stromlo:

Enjoy, and leave some feedback. Smile

  • 20
 pretty gnarly, looks like a nasty section of the trail
  • 20
 there probably better then you
  • 21
 what happens if the guy in the front falls? does everyone have to stop or crash into him and whats with these races...
  • 10
 Its practice the day before the race. for the race the riders a 30 seconds or a minute apart.
  • 10
 and if one falls?
  • 20
 sweet pod, but the first guy... no gloves??? weird.
  • 10
 yeah, its a thing thats going on over here. one WC rider says that he can "feel the bike better when hes not wearing gloves" so everyone does it. but yeah, some peope do like it better without gloves.
