Worst Crash Ever on Crank It Up?
Nick Van Berkel sent us this video of his crash on Crank It Up. I’ll let Nick tell the rest of the story.
“My friends and I were goofing around, passing each other, and riding way too fast in slow sections of the trail.
It might be a good reminder to everyone heading into bike season to keep in mind that even if you’re going to shred some warm up trails or are under the impression the run you’re about to do is easy and you can hit it with a tonne of speed, you are still at a major risk of the dangerous surroundings.”
Thanks Nick! Glad you are okay.
Luckily Nick got lucky and lived to tell the tale. Play safe out there this weekend.

That's what happens when you start a run with freeride flicks.

didn't one of the doctors and oft poster on this forum say this trail is responsible for many/most the injuries in WBP?

No elbow pads or armour necessary. If that was a tree impact probably fatal. Lucky fuck
