7:38 in my boy Bobby Langin smashes even Gwinny down the rock garden to the road

 

If that's the guy in the white Troy Lee suit with stars - he SMOKED the waterfall section. Fastest to my eye by far. Carter and Gwinny were smooth and quick, but that guy just dropped out of the sky. He was gassed at the wall however, hence his 13 seconds.

 

Anyone have any info on the kid that went down in the sport/beg race. From what iv heard he went down on that first rock jump right at the top, i guess it kicked him and when he hit he never got up. My friend helped carry him down on the backboard and said he was on oxygen when they loaded him in the ambulance. Thoughts are with him and his family really hope he's alright its pretty scary.

 

i dont know if its the same guy but the guy infront of me crashed hard on that first jump. i had a ghost rider in front of me and was surprised when he was still down a minute later when i went by. i had half the people telling me to stop and the other half to huck it, so i slowed down so i wouldnt run him over if he was still on course. but by then he was just off to the side.

look below

 

That was me, I washed out hard core.

Seperated shoulder, concusion, and bruised ribs. I missed the race, im still upset about not running since I was feeling it and running good all week.

My Leatte and D3 helmet saved me from more damage.

I'll be back.

 

Erwin, hope you are feeling better, sending you healing vibes!!! But didn't you crash in practice? I think he was asking about the Jr Ex racer that crashed during his race run and had to be carted down the hill on the backboard.

 

Yes in practice, I think 2 of us wrecked at the same spot.

 

There were definitely a few that crashed in their race runs too, and lots of close calls as well!

 

Some photos I shot.

Andy... truly sorry about yelling at you about the backpack. I saw it there and was like, "oh NO! that's my LINE"

i think due to the effort it came out a bit rushed and loud. thanks for the cool pics!!!!
