haha the last crash sounds like someone trying to loose time aka downhill domination! btw was there any bottle throwing or stick hitting in the 4x? :P. hope everyone heals up well from it! a crash now and then is good for you!

I helped strecher that dude down the hill! he was in serious pain! he kept passing out. it took like 8 of us a good 20 minutes to get him off the course and longer to get him to the rego tent where the ambo could pick him up.

hope that guy's alright, the worst bit is people were complaining about the holup up-top and saying we should just be able to ride around him....GO TEAM DICKZOR!

I popped my finger out and didn't get it back in right so it's still kinda annoying and i bashed up my hip pretty good, just bruised and tender.

there is a vid of the guy hitting the tree, there was bits of the full face in the tree too and there was to noises, one allmighty crack as the helmet hit the tree and cracked and then one thud of like a dead body hitting the ground, the vid looks like he was knocked out from the tree and then just collapsed on the floor

the bad ones i heard of was:
-The guy that got a foot caught in spokes and frame with the broken ankle twisted backwards (just before the log jumps at da bottom)
-The photographer spectator what was hit by a guy on a green hardtail
-I also heard of a few concussions and a broken neck but i think that was an unsubstantiated rumor. Some guy faceplanted and walked off, thats all i know of though.


I know i might sound obsessed but they are the best bit when its someone u dont know i reckon
