You got balls for hitting it and posting it 🤙🏻 mad mad props!!! Happy to see you were able to sit upright after that and collect your thoughts, keep rippin and be humble with your progress, looked big on gopro so i can only imagine irl.
Damn.. hope youre all good after that one. Not a great feeling when it stalls mid flight... Btw : Thanks for all the vids you put up. Always watch before riding a new local place so I know what to expect.
I’ve been jumping this jump as well, and ik the feeling of it wanting to ride front end high because the face is so steep. my best advice, don’t brake tap on a 450, not really needed. I’m like a intermediate level rider, and I hate doing it. so instead I just weight the front and stand tall and forward up the face and in the air, and use throttle to bring it up if needed. glad you’re okay bro that one was heavy
The part where the bike flew over you reminded me vividly of my crash years ago in a skim section (4th gear pinned on 85s). I swapped hard and could not get it under control, slammed into the ground and say my bike flying above me, felt like it was floating above me for at least 10 seconds waiting to slam into me lol, but luckily it flew past me and I escaped with a broken front rim, broken bars and lost my visor + concussion. This was a way harder crash though. Glad you are okay!
Got away lucky there I did some similar in September last year a broke 9 bones and collapsed my right lung glad to see you made it out of there and u seem to be ok
Ouch. Idk how many people have to get hurt on that before he changes the lip. Seems like every time I'm there someone gets messed up. Watched a dude break his jaw and multiple bones on a quad when he came up short
I have a love/hate relationship with that cam angle. I like being able to watch back and see my hands but it always looks like you’re waaay too far back on the bike😂😂
Seriously you took that crash as a man that’s for sure no panic just taking a brake and think about wtf went wrong you sir are a legend and that was a nasty crash 🫡
You didn't do a whole lot wrong. You simply just landed in the soft stuff without any throttle. You literally stuck the landing. Land a little more on the back of the bike with some throttle and it will help.
Looked like the clutch might not have been in all the way when he brake tapped actually so he killed the bike in the air it must’ve bump started when he landed
He stalled the bike with the break tap, so yeah he messed up pretty badly and it was a very avoidable crash. You can tell when he tries twisting the throttle and the engine doesn't rev right before he lands. He lands on the throttle and the bike jump starts right before he goes over the bars.
Also the brake brought you down too much, threw you forward on landing. Don't tuck your arms so much in the air. If you extended your elbows instead that would have kept you flat enough without the brake.
Watch it again. He killed the engine when brake tapping, causing the back wheel to stop rotating which caused this as it's like landing with your back brake on. You can clearly see that he tries to straighten the bike back up with the throttle after brake tapping, but since the engine is now dead, it was nothing he could do.
Extending elbows can actually make you loop out more bc it pushes your weight and head back not the bike forward.. also, nothing wrong with landing front tire first. Also, leaning back while landing on the throttle is the opposite of what you want to do. Attack position over the cross bar with hard throttle. This was simply a panic bc the bike stalled and he froze.. collapsed in to the seat and went for a ride over the bars. Sometimes when you panic you just go limp and wait for a crash when you could've saved it. It happens to the best of us. Glad dudes alright.
either your suspension is set bad or you just do NOT have the forearms for what this sport takes & this video proves it jeff. Get those bi-tri & forearm workouts in man. Quite literally not being an asshole when i say this, so take it how you will lol.
Jfc the bike stalled from a brake tap, it’s a tiny mistake with big consequences that everyone will make to varying degrees if you ride for any amount of time lol
