I can see how that would be great for DH racing/ step-down type of jumps but dirt jumping?

How am I gonna learn no-footers while clipped in!?

Helmets are over-rated particularly in this thread.
They help with a cracked face/skull that's about it.

Never mind the helmet. 2 broken arms = 2 casts... Who's the lucky one to have to wipe his ass? Lucky for you he's living in another state!

Too bad he didn't know the frog technique (or maybe one of Biker Fox's tricks) - he could have landed on his feet!

It's ALL about the dismount...thats what I always say

He allmost pulled off a perfect "Dead sailor" Been there. Hope he stays on the bike, and counts this as 90% of his payable "dues" in MTBing
