I hope his YouTube fame was worth it.

I bet he took off while off balance and didn't absorb the kick of the jump with his knees

You can see the rear kick up and the seat comes up and hits his ass, which bucks his feet off. Im amazed he lsnded that as well as he managed to.

He hit a kicker where it transitions from sandy soil to hard pack on the face of the jump from what I have gathered.

Didn't anticipate that kicker....looked very similar to Kennys crash with a bigger gap and added freeway

Good thing those massive balls cushioned the hit; could have been much worse. Heal up.

That big 4 stroke righted the endo. Could have been much worse. He rode it out!

Not trying to tear him down, just pointing out the obvious. Watch his other videos, his skill is nowhere near the level of the other riders doing stuff like this. More of a hucker, probably better than early Seth Enslow but still way down on the food chain. Ballsy but it was probably bound to happen.

Dude, he's a thrillseeker, bro.

The unfortunate part is the bike lands at a perfect angle...if he just wasn't ass over antlers flailing in the air at the time...

Hate to buck the trend, but doing stupid shit has never really earned any respect from me.

I'm with you, dumb.

Saw the clip on the news with the guy who did it 10 yrs ago (morrison). He didn't do anything for the sport either. Sounded pretty dumb.

I just have a hard time relating to this stuff. This is literally risking your life for momentary fame. Is your life really that boring or fruitless that you are willing to put it on the line for a temporary thrill or fame? I just can't follow that train of thought that leads someone to thinking this is a good idea.
