Anyone else see the guy wash his front wheel before the GLC and fly off, back first, sans bike?
Way to pick yourself up, buddy. Hope you're alright.
Oh man...
I'm always wary of doing that, so I never come in hot before the drop. Sounds like a nightmare
Was this on the larger or smaller drop? When I was having a drink of water in front of the longhorn I heard a guy telling his friends he supermanned without his bike over the small GLC drop I think. Seemed fine afterwards, just had a good laugh over the whole thing.
didn't see it happen but heard the crowd roar and looked to see him trying to collect himself. He seems shakin up a bit and remained there for sometime. I saw him a little later being walked through the village by a WBP first aid guy.
It was off the big part of the GLC drop.
On Friday some guy twisted his rental bikes 888's pretty bad, how exactly i'm not sure but it looked like he nosed of off the drop and went over the bars on impact…forks were facked, but he seemed good.
A friend of mine went off on Saturday head first…with a head cam!

i think that was the guy….were you in a group that had the Sunn?
hope he's ok
Yeah he rides a baby blue Sunn with Orange wheels. I wasn't riding with him Saturday. He's still recovering I think.
Ouch, that happened to me once (losing my front end) but luckily I saved it. So much loose rock and sand at the top there, it is better to come in a little slower. Hopefully he is not hurt too bad.
Shed head!
That was me that washed out on on the GLC drop on Thursday evening Dragonbones, you pretty much nailed the way it happened, I'd love to see a reply. I have no idea how the bike stayed up there on the edge like that cus there was no way I was stopping. I ended up breaking my collar bone off the rocky outcrop at the bottom but not a scratch anywhere else. Watch out for the wrestler in the trees, he shows no mercy.
welcome to the broken collar bone club….you gonna get surgery or they just gonna leaver-b?
how you like your Sunn?
I'll know more about it later this week after a 2nd x-ray. Sunn? I kinda supermanned back first off the big one leaving my Stinky behind on the edge. First time to break a collar bone, it stood up until then.
why cant i hit the wood to wood on o sin ive only done it twice cased once same with joyride coaster gap never attempted it is it the run in it is less than 10 feet i think could be the landing on wood ramp thing am i the only one who pulls the shoot on this?

Bad luck man. That could happen to anyone on that sand pile. Healing vibes.

I always get front end washy before that drop, i've had it slide out before the drop, but by the time i would've hit the ground i'm already in the air so it turned out to look like a sick, flatty, drop scrub.
i hope this guy's alright, that sounds like it would hurt!
