    I think he's still picking up what's left of that single crown fork :)

    Looks like he's gonna nose dive and taco his front rim and hopefully walk away with no injuries.

    I have no clue what happened to the rider. I thought a poll would be fun, not much action these days on the forums.

    I assume it's real since it was one of the photos taken in Snow Summit's photo zone. I wonder if he hiked to far up the hill???

    I have seen Jason from Incycle hit it from the trail with out even really pedaling into the jump(maybe a couple pedal strokes). I could see him hitting it with a lot more speed if he needed to.

    Craig, one of the guys you met last week hit it and was at least 15 feet above the lip! He missed the landing also and rode it out. You should have seen him boosting crab apple.

    I seem to remember SOMEONE telling him there was no way you could overshoot that jump so go as fast as you want. Hmmmm.....wonder who that was?? Thank goodness Craig knows what he's doing. ;)

    Nice wish I'd seen him on Crabapple.. Ryan went through a couple times.. cleared first and second hits, almost cleared the very last one, but I think it was 2 of them in the middle that were way beyond any level of speed he could muster up.. Ryan had a blast riding with you and your crew.. as well as mxvet and his crew.. I need to do a Whistler ride report when I get time
