I've done something not dissimilar to that, where I was on a fast downhill and hit a very well camouflaged rock. Went head over handlebars and taco'd a wheel, but I didn't even draw blood.
One of the toughest challenges on the planet are hard enduros. You have to be on you’re minute, that means not to fast but not to slow, but at the same time you’re faced with open trap where you want to speed, and tough narrow trails where at times you’re going slower than a snail. A true sport fit for the gods.
lmfao fr. "o shit i look like a dumbass stuffing that first berm off of the roll in...better say something random as fuck so people know I'm conscious."

@@onlysxlo1396 People break bones all of the time from falls where they get catapulted right onto the face/chest. Got up, his bike was still tumbling. I'd say there was a 10% chance to not snap his shit up from that fall.
@@onlysxlo1396 I've broken 4 bones, one of wich was from falling off a bicycle where my finger got caugt in the brake lever doing a circle. Bones can break super easily if stressed right.
@@leavemealoneinserttexthere5541yeah i also slammed into a car head on on a motorcycle and didn’t break a single thing, you’d be surprised how durable the human body can be, i’m not disagreeing with you but just saying it’s all in the odds and how you eat it lol
A little bit of dad lore here, my dad was an ex MTB Downhill rider, one day in a tournament, my dad broke his shoulder after missing a jump, was admitted to the hospital, escaped and ran away from the hospital all in the same day, my uncle and his homies picked my dad up at a telephone booth, with him still in his hospital robe 😂😂😂 my dad was crazy back in the day in the day, he did picked up dirt biking shortly after quitting MTB but it wasn't for long until he fully quit extreme sports all together, now he's just chill, enjoying fishing
@yhnah1329 I completely understand that argument, but for me mtb is more dangerous. I race dh competitively and have had multiple season ending injuries. I also ride dirtbikes on local trails and tracks. I don't necessarily push myself and as a result I have never had any injury worse than some cuts and bruises. Sure I am going faster and on a heavier vehichle, but they are so much more stable. Also, and I heard someone else say this, crashing on a mtb often comes quickly with no time to react while crashing on a dirtbike feels slower if that makes sense. You have time to react even if it is just a little more in most cases.
Exactly like they really need to chill and realize no one gives a shit about their opinion if think db are better good for if you think mtb are better sweet but no one gives a fuck so stop arguing over nothing
Basic physics, pedaling constantly shift the balance with each pedal because the weight of the pedal being pushed is on both sides of the bike. You might argue that "well the pistons on the dirt bike do the same thing." Yes, however, it is dead center of the bike and balanced to prevent engine collapse, so therefore, even if you perfectly balance an mtb bike, basic physics will keep the dirt bike more balanced
