Get well soon weiner.
Looks like that 3rd water bar was what stuffed him. Came down hard and front heavy but I reckon be it but for the 3rd water bar he would have recovered it. Definately the scariest crash I have seen.. that and darren butlers one in drop in.

Ouch! Can anyone say sternum on handlebar?
That was a fast and nasty fall. Don't know who you are Weiner, but get well soon. Never let shit like that own you. :wink:
I'm always stunned at how non-downhillers react to those type of clips. I guess it takes a crash to feel a crash.

He recieved a split kidney and multiple broken bones in his wrist. Oh and he had a small split in his head from the impact that needed a few stitches. He's fine now but still wont be on the bike for weeks to come yet as he is still in a cast.
