ouch!!!!!!!!! harsh

So what did he do wrong? Lean to far forward? Preload the back spring wrong? I have never did a jump bigger than a couple feet so I'm curious. I would not want to have that happen to me.

im not the master at this, but i think he must have let off the throttle way too much and probably lent too far forwards, its just what i think (correct me if im wrong please)

[iceman]

looks like not enough speed and he didnt lean far enough back to take the weight off his front tire. That sucks big time.

It looked like he was leaning to far forward with not enough speed and it sent him into an endo.

He got freakin wasted...im glad i didnt have to go through a crash like that when i first started.

that just cuks though, brand new bike- 1st jump and bang straight to hospital

It looked like he was sitting down at the base of the jump (all the way through it actually) which would preload his rear and add not being on the throttle at the correct time seems have been the problem to me.
