Was wondering the same! Did it get caught in a rut at the bottom of the bridge?

Must Watch: Tommo's Story - 3 Years After Coming Up Short on a Train Gap
Tommo, you are an inspiration in your attitude, resilience and gratitude. Thank you for sharing your journey and I especially loved the great anecdote about the one in a million story from the lady you met (if she hasn't seen this film already, wouldn't it be so cool if she did somehow?). I am flabbergasted at how you made such an incredible comeback despite the countless odds stacked against you.
This film is touching and deeply inspiring. I bet it will help far more people than you may ever realise. Bravo to you, your support team and the team behind the film!
I will remember your line "this fight comes from you" for a long time!

Video: MTB Fitness For Over 40s Riders
Hey Ben, thanks for the videos, I found them enjoyable and useful! Great that you’re also talking about the relationship and mental well-being aspects as well as importance of factoring in whole-life stress and most importantly, playing the long game.
Unfortunately there are many negative comments here based on causation by correlation type thinking. It’s quite sad from a societal perspective that these people feel entitled to jump to illogical and binary conclusions, and seem to feel validated by expressing both their incongruous thinking and desire to publicly bathe in their own negativity in a bike website comments section.
I hope you can ignore them and realise you bring quality content to many others and I’m sure you make a great impact doing what you’re doing on a day to day basis with the people you’re training in person too!
All the best

Must Watch: Peter Kaiser's Self-Filmed 'Solitary'
Beautiful video!! Love seeing the same jump from two angles at the same time - very cool concept.
Great vibe, landscape, colours, and sick riding! Makes me want to ride.
