Middle-aged man is not in his 20s anymore 

I love the priorities "hey look at my bike, it landed upside down"

I felt every second of that brother.

As for why I crashed, it comes down to 2 factors. First, I was getting tired. I had been riding for several hours and it was hot. Sure, I'm not pedaling up the hill but going downhill certainly takes its toll. Secondly, I had just adjusted my suspension by letting some air out of the shock and fork. I was only using a little more than half of the travel. What I didn't do was adjust the rebound along with that, meaning the rebound was too fast. Those two factors combined set me up for failure. I had cleared that jump many times earlier that day, so I approached it the same way. When I went off the lip of the jump I got bucked, pitching me forward. Being that this jump is a step-up with minimal transition on the landing, I wasn't able to ride it out from my nose dive. The crash certainly could have been worse, like snapped neck and dead. So in that sense I am grateful. My injuries are separated shoulder that might need surgery, road rash down my back and elbows, mild concussion, and several strained muscles. Bike is fine. It just needs a wash and a few things put back into place.

0:25 not gonna lie, it sounds like Peter Griffin taking those berms. lol

@1:05 props to the bike for "sit, stay!" that's wild.

Thanks for posting. This video arrives in my feed today as i am three days nursing broken ribs. I tucked the front in a fast right hander and saved it but was now way offline. Went over a 9ft embankment at over 20mph. Been through that corner hundreds of times and could probably say tire pressure was a contributor but the fact is at 54 maybe its time to slow down...maybe. 😊

Amazing spill, took it like a champ🎉🎉

As long as another middle-aged rider comes along and helps, it's gonna be ok! Keep riding!

Owww boy, I just turned 50 and this happens to me at least once a year haha. Can't park there mate LOL feel your pain, great priorities, Bikers age well !!

Came here because of the title...was NOT dissapointed!

Lovin the “old man noises”☺️

I'm 58 and crashed last Saturday when my right hand and handlebar caught a tree during a too-tight turn and flipped me onto my head. I swear to God I made those exact same noises.

Good job even getting out there! Very inspiring. I'm 61 and watching these vids I start having delusions of grandeur that I can keep up with the young men. Keep it up!

56 here and I still crash like that... I mean ride like that

Im 51. Stopped jumping about 10 years ago for this very same reason. Body just cant rebound from the abuse like it used to.

i get it but...being an old guy myself, sometimes getting hurt at the skate park feels good because it reminds me that i'm alive and living, at least, a little.

I'm 65. My last crash wasn't too bad. But I had full helmet, elbow and knee pads, hip pads, and upper body armor, and finally good armored gloves...so no pain or injuries. Wanna keep riding...pad up gentlemen. Just saying...LOL

I feel your pain, brother. Just started biking again at 47 and went over the bars not long ago. Found my factory reset switch and lost a bit of pride.

Air is a young rider's game man - I am 60 and been riding bikes in the dirt for 50 years. I still ride and race MTB but I stick to cross country and I keep my rig on the ground. Might wanna consider the same.

That heart symbol is the trench was immensly impressive. Almost seemed like a gateway to heaven. Especially after your hard landing. I thought that was the end... Thank God You are alright.

That was me- thrice in the last two years. I'm 54 and I need to start to start riding like it.

The goddammit got me 😂😂😂😂

This proves why gym and daily stretching is required :/

That’s why my old ass stopped riding these types of trails. I’m in the kiddie ones.

I’m laying here with my ankle elevated on a pillow and an ice pack. Big pop last night playing in a rock garden. Heal up brother.

Yeah, after a crash a month ago my ribs still hurt, worst thing is my Briko glasses were ruined and my new helmet is scarred. I’m going on 74 and healing definitely takes longer 😂

I am 68 and sold my hardtail after my fourth over the handlebars crash. I can live with fractured ribs, it’s the possible spinal fracture that scares me. If I return to mountain biking, I guarantee I will wear full torso protection. Rocks hurt.

When you make fun of some ones pain then pain will be, fall you !

Elbow pads a must. 😂

The key to aging gracefully is to know that you are aging. That means slow the F down!😂

Summoned his inner Peter Griffin for a minute there. That was quite the biff, good thing you got it on video!

I resemble that entirely. typing with one finger. left arm in a sling . weight was wrong. slight dislocate a tear. yesterday . 23 3/4 for the 3rd time, us old guys don't heal the way we used to. I was having so much fun until.......

I felt that all the way down to Florida while i was enjoying my stay

Dude that’s crazy, I’m a middle aged man not in my 20s either! 😂

10 out of 10 for the bike sticking the upside down landing. Heal well.

Ahaha ur buddy “ur bike is super light”

That was a damn tight turn for being on the blind side of a jump.

Great, just bought a used trek fuel after not riding in 22 years,hell I was middle aged then. I guess I will just hope for the best.

I feel your pain 45 but mostly ride XC single track Not sure about DH jump lines at this stage "age" in the game

Ha ha that is so for real. First time it occured to me that I no longer had the benefits of youth was looping out a manual flat onto my back on a street. Decided to ignore it and shortly thereafter sprained an ankle doing a no footer. The wife initiated a make fun of the old man pretending to be a kid campaign….Then the new era begins….

older people have trouble getting up if they fall. not old bikers, we do it so often.

Your bike should be in the Olympics 😅

Nothing quite like getting into a bicycle accident and dropping swears. America’s favorite pastime. 😂

52 y.o. crashed last month bc derailleur busted and got caught in me spokes. New bike. More beefy. Still gotta get pads n stuff

My motto at 58 years young is:”live to fight another day “…

66 years old..Gotta ride green only...

In the words of Ian Malcom “must go faster”

Sorry but I had to laugh, I’m 66 and did exactly what you did 5 weeks ago, ribs are almost healed😅

Weird how bike landed. May be a first

I sure his bike was expensive so he worried about that dont, give up keep riding 💯👍

Rescue come : 2:06 u’r bike is super light !! 🤣🤣🤣

Made some new curse words during that

That's rough. heal up quick

i don't know why i laugh at the harr harrrr ...if i fall like that i won't be able to walk for months. i can't even ride know because my left knee been giving me problems.

Turned into Grape Lady’s husband at 0:58 😂

I’m 64 and about to do my first enduro race in 3 weeks. Did not want to see this. Thanks a lot.

Middle aged.....I resemble that....heal fast!

dude, that's gonna be hurt

As long as you can walk away...it's all good. Hope you are okay.

Damn man

LMAO "what is that"

Gotta wear your safety gear… or just take your chances… you choose…

bike ok?

shake it off kid

What happened? Why did the front wheel go down, causing you to do multiple somersaults over the handlebar?

I’m not an expert but i think your bike is upside down.

I’m wish ya on the bike landing upside down

😂😂😂

Middle aged or 20’s this trail was always above your skill level.

Nothing to do with age, it’s technique. Recommend you spend some time with a coach to dial yourself in. I see far to many riders whose enthusiasm far outstrips their ability.

Taking the name of you Lord God in vain, just desserts!

You probably acted 40 in your twenties 😅

"Is Butterbean okay?"
