What’s really special about this chat is that it is two people who’re involved in building and riding at the absolute cutting edge of what’s possible. Unique I’d say. Thanks 🎉
A lot of people grew up with either a father, or uncle, or other, that had either violent or alcoholic tendencies, and it's been proven it so many instances that it comes from poorly monitored head injuries in their youth. So many sports have taken the proper steps to remove players and athletes from the rotation of their schedule to let the brain properly heal. The fact that MTB in it's entirety seems to be 20 years behind in concussion protocols is ridiculous. You only get one, it shouldn't be up to the athlete that just had their entire nervous center compromised in an impact to make decisions as to whether or not they ride the next day. Helmets only do so much.
Damn mtb is behind on head injury awareness. Loss of memory after a head injury is FAR very very fucking far from totally fine. Completely unacceptable for event organisers not to try push more safety, not saying to make the tracks easier but look at rugbys HIA system and take some notes.
Nah man, you're far behind on how aware the MTB industry is on head injuries. But ya know, can't reason with the people who want to bubble wrap everything and don't understand the sport at all.

Obviously look at both sides but there's definitely stuff here to make you think twice about it, even if it's just on moral grounds.
They get their product more known by paying lots to set it up. My guess is they want to reward people for taking risks - social media boosts - first exclusives on the story of them messing up. For RB, more risky stunts (when they come off) clearly gets more views and their product in the limelight more. So they want to encourage that. They will not want to show the footage of injuries so much though.
If you develop something, don't show it online because most people nether did anything on their own so they don't know how to learn from failure and they judge such developments as a failure.
The fact he made it out of that crash RELATIVELY unharmed.. Ignore the fact of how big that jump was, as far as crashes go, he walked away literally unharmed really... NOW add the fact it was a bloody gap over a river with next to 0 room for error... My man was watched over that day. Mad feature to have. Glad it was removed. Far too big of a send that!
@@sultanabran1 nothing to do with being woke, your right there is nothing stopping the girls hitting the gap but they probably won’t yet. It would just be great to follow Tasmania and take the sport forward for everyone. Here in Australia there are far more girls ride than the uk and they rip hard, it’s just good to have a mix and the more riders the better for everyone.
The river gap is 20 foot shorter than the 90 footers further down that have featured for the last couple of years. Should they also be removed as the girls might struggle to hit them?
