hey harmsie7 makes a very valid and intelligent point. you can clearly see from the links "exact" posted he was not clipped in. ( try the second link because i know your intelligence is not one of your many strong attributes)
Yeah the next photo is an absolute mess he hits so hard but I just wonder if he had even tried to tuck and roll chances are things just happened super fast...
nothing is wrong here...
The bike is riding the man!
The man doesn't have any wheels so they're crawling down...
Moreover, the audience are stoked! just look at them! see...
Did the dude get any serious injuries then? I would love to know. When you look at the sequence shots it looks absolutely savage. Nevermind the neck, his whole spine is bent the wrong way, his heels and hitting the back of his lid. Such a bad crash, i hope he walked away!
at first i was like why is pod so sick (not the good kind) and twisted this time? then i saw the sequence of photos. if i had any doughts about neck braces, this just dispelled them.
I don't know why so many are harshing on clipped in pedals. They didn't cause the crash, and at that rate in the rocks, flats weren't going to save his grill.
I would say the last thing going through this guys mind is awwww shit this blows. But by the looks of it the last thing on his mind is going to be his rear tire...
No he's fine , after he crashed he got up and nothing was broken . i saw him crashing. if it wasn't the leatt brace . he would have hurt himself pretty bad.
Looking at the other pictures, he certainly scorpioned pretty badly, but he seems to have missed the rocks entirely. Certainly could have been a lot worse.
I think everyone seen enough crashes to last 10 lifetimes. Plus those are not clips, five tens with flats and his left foot way off the pedal. Def wrist/shoulder damage, hope he alright.
Wrong. You shoulda checked the other pics from the sequence which are linked above. Picture 2 clearly shows (as does their website) that 5.10 makes those shoes in SPD.
I'd say that is one of the most informative sequences I've seen in a while. I've been wondering what a scorpion while clipped in would look like. I don't think his foot actually frees itself from the pedal until AFTER the last pic. That one shows the foot/pedal angle looking like it might pop the foot free. Or pop his foot off!
Besides, seen enough crashes? We can never see enough of OTHER people crashing! Hope he is okay, best wishes for a speedy recovery.
