    I was afraid the camera was going to pan down and show him paralyzed in a wheelchair....so I guess it could have been worse. Hopefully he'll be back riding again.

    ditto I was waiting for paralysis as the money shot. He seems smart and someone who does the math.... which is what I hope we all do. I'd trade my broken bones for his math skills.

    paralysis? not so much.

    Cool to see an actual life video vs when they always make it on the Dew/Redbull/XGames. You take chances for a thrill, you're gonna get hurt. That's why I have a full face to ride XC; I don't heal as well as a younger guy anymore.

    I just love this guy. always a class act. Too bad about the crash and injury but +1 for still making a great video of it all. That guy has such incredible ability. I learn just watching him (never go for big gap jump when 40 foot cliff is in bail out zone). But now thanks to him I know exactly what i won't do.
