My nephews crash that fractured his arms, and more.

Whoa!!! Man I was hoping that was photoshopped, but it looks like it wasn't That must have been PAINFUL.

Hope your nephew feels better soon, and be a good uncle and buy him a helmet!

 

hey guys, im the rider downs brother, bombers other nephew and im just tellin you that max is okay, and his left arm is broken and his right wrist has 2 broken bones, but hes fine

thanks for everyones well wishes, im sure he will have a kick out of some of them when he gets home:wave:

 

some light reading for him while he's on DL

j/k healing vibes and helmet next time

 

Helmet? Like that is important. You guys didn't even notice that the rider isn't wearing any knee, elbow or wrist protection?

 

screw all that, i'd wear a cup before any of those

 

You can live with a shattered wrist.

Your chances of survival with a shattered skull are slim to none.

And I'd rather die than have shattered balls...so yea.

 

You'll have to grow a pair first. :lol:

You want to talk about pain. I was at Sheep's and watched a kid on a twenty inch slip off his pedals and get his balls caught between the tire and brake. His friends helped him remove them by turning the wheel in the opposite direction. Amazingly the kid was hitting jumps half an hour later.

 

Thats' nuts Santa must have misunderstood, poor kid asked for disc brake not d!ck break

 

How long have I been saying clipless pedals are a fad? BTW flat pedals would have prevented the faceplant and a potential neck injury, a helmet wouldn't.

 

Flat pedals wouldn't produce talent though!

 

thats why i have to protect what i have! :lol:

 

Your right! I would like to immediately begin a petition to outlaw clip-on pedals and have them replaced with clip-on handlebars.:lol:

BTW, I do silly things too.

 

So...im in the market for a camera, anyone know what camera might have been used here? I think Canon could use this sequence in a commercial! it's pretty sweet, glad he's ok!

 

That hurt me just looking at it. Get well soon.

 

good for him for not being killed or really badly injured... I do love that in this sequence you can almost see the progression of what he was thinking.

in pic 1 he knows its all gone wrong

in pic 2 he makes the only effort he can to save his a$$

in pic 3 he realized how badly he failed, and suffers the consequences


But good for him for getting out there and giving it a shot, I probably never would try that.

Then again I plan to walk the rest of my life, and keep what original teeth I still have.

 

That looks like a truth or dare stunt.

Who dared him to jump and ride without a helmet?

 

The helmet thing is dumb, to be sure...

...but I won't jump WITHOUT being clipped in. You can get some nice bonus air by lifting your bike with your feet at the apex of a jump, and you can always set your release tension loose (I can clip out in mid-air if I have to).

 

I won't lament on the need for protection on the trails as everyone else has done...that's a given. However, it almost looks like he didn't mean to take off that way, as if something had gone terribly wrong.

 

I would really like an explanation of where the jump and landing is. It looks like an easy table top underneath him, but no lip.

EDIT: Unless it is that lump of dirt that his head is smashing into...

 

The poor guy. I hope he's doing better.
