Update & Video: The Crash That Broke Charlie Harrison's Arm
Charlie Harrison has shared video from the crash in Leogang that broke his arm and required surgery.
The surgery went well and Charlie's arm is now outfitted with six new screws and a plate. As of right now, it looks like he'll be off the bike for about eight weeks, and he hopes to be back in time for World Champs.

 | I crashed in that steep chute section. Somehow I put my front wheel into the hole of the last drop of it perfectly and it just sent me forward. I rode the nose quite a ways down and went into the tree at the bottom. Looks like the tree is close to where I went over from the angle, but the distance and drop between the hole and the tree is actually a good bit, so I had a lot of momentum going. |

Plate and screws and back in 8 weeks...
Shouldn't be a problem. Might suffer from the screws hitting his forearm muscles though. Can be a pain in the a** sometimes.
Right arm has been played twice (didn't learn the first time)
