Moto Freestyle stunt gone bad

No doubt you will get thrown off the front of it but at least the initial impact would be absorbed by some of the bikes suspension. Anyhow, HOLY SHIT THAT HAD TO HURT!

Chances are he could have landed that. I didnt see him try to hit the rear brake at all. I just went and watched it again. He could have landed that easily. It would have been rough as hell, and maybe fallen a bit later, but it wouldnt have been half as bad.
Personally, i hate jumping, and that is one reason why.

No doubt. I race motocross now (well, havent in 4 months because of injuries) but i look at it like this. When you stay on the bike, you have about 12 inches of extra travel before you hit the ground. If you want to bail off your bike, i hope you have some strong legs, because you are fucked.

man ive had my fair share of moto x crashes and ill tell ya this much. when youre up in the air coming off a bad kick and your starting to get squirly, youre not thinking about the 12 inches of travel in the suspension. your not thining anything. it all happens so fast. tracy latham is a PROFESSIONAL rider and look what happened to him. i broke my ankle in several places and had compound fractures on both my femurs, a skull fracture and dislocated elbow woth the4 scars to prove em. i feel bad for him but it can happen to anyone. i mean the biggest names out there are still getting injured every other month or so. metzger, deegan, pastrana. they all fuck up. its not whether you crash or not, its how bad your gonna look after you wreck. but anyways, badass vid and if you like that go rent crusty because the seth enslow wreck is about 20 times worse than that.
