Man Down - Rafi Richardson
Rafi fixes some tools before hitting the trails, unfortunately not everything goes to plan and he crashes on the new road gap. http://www.facebook.com/pages/Sam-Oakes-Films/174395892578970 or follow me on twitter http://twitter.com/SamOakesfilms

@Sysics, because body armour does'nt stop you breaking bones, i choose not to wear full boy armour now because i find it tires me out too quickly, and actually makes me crash more, ironically. sick vid and good luck on the recovery rafi!

lol you guys neg'd me probs because you thought i was being sarcy, i wasn't, I ruptured my spleen and had to have it taken out, i landed on the end of my handlebars, not fun.

@bawzofsteel
I hear that often, that you crash more if you wear armor. Its logic cause you know that you can't hurt yourself THAT much and go more risky.
I dont say that you can't break your bones even with a fullbody armor but the energy of the crash goes into the plastic and can pretend much worse injurys.

there is no body armour that protects your abdomen though, and that is the serious injury in this case.
his arm break wasn't bad as when I picked him up to move him he pushed off with it.

Yeah some do but they are more to protect from being impaled on sticks, bars etc. and less about reducing the effect of an impact. Great vid, well worth VOD, get well soon

I actually feel sorry for you if that does get VOD. You'll have nothing to comment on every vod! what are you gonna do with your life? Maybe something productive for a change.

Who gives a shit about the can? The video was sick and the rider got hurt; the only two things you should be commenting about
- + 8
we put the can there for the shot and then picked it up afterwards, ever thought of that?
we don't litter the woods because we have respect for them and don't want the trails destroyed

haha i think its funny us as bikers put moto in front of the names of some stuff. just call it what it is lol not "moto whoops" just whoops or instead of a "moto whip" just a whip. idk thats just me.
but on the other hand great video and hope he recovers soon went from being pumped on the video to feeling really bad get well soon fellow rider man

i imagine:
Biking Woops = Lame excuse for jumps on amateur cross country and skills courses (basically hills).
Moto Woops = Big fast Bumps that you hit at speed and it takes skill to do as it throws you off balance (like in MX, hence moto).
Biking Whips = A twitch kicking the arse end of the bike out to set up in mid air on a hip jump or something (still looks cool)
Moto Whip = Whipping it out wilder than a nuns pubes like in x-games biggest whip for sick photo's and video's and big wow factor.
Moto is awesome because your doing something that originated from motocross on a bike (: however i don't see why it matters? glad to hear Rafi is out the hospital now

damn ruptured spleens suck.. i hated it, it was such a long recovery time. heal up! did he have it taken out?
. not that it makes any difference. it won't damage anything
