medic:you sure,
rider:yeah i've broken my ankles before i know what it feels like

O man, as tough as it was to watch that a lot can be learned from watching that vid.
That wasnt the best view of the take off, but it seemed pretty short and steep to be seat bouncing with that much speed. Kid might have thought he was a gear higher or lower who knows though.
Speedy recovery to that kid he is of a rare breed.

I hope he heals up alright. That was a nasty get off.

Looks like he hit nuetral.

My crash was similar but I stuck the landing (like they say in the Olympics!)

I saw a lot of that on Sunday at Redbud for some reason. A friend of ours broke his tib/fib along with his wrist.

looks like he was trying to land on the downside of the jump where his body landed first. hope he's ok and has a speedy recovery.

Yep, my son broke his right Tib and Fib and his left Radius and Ulna (arm) at Redbud. When my buddy got to him he said right away "my leg is broke and my arm is broke",

Injuries Suck!
