Jon's big crash

Alex · June 2007

I nearly posted at topic about Jon's face-brake.

But as I was about to post it, I thought "this topic is meaningless without pix".

Jon is probably the best faller I've ever met.

Our first encounter was rather chalky and bloody for Jon...

(because he's crap!)

No, this topic is a topic about me not posting a topic, rather than a topic for the sake of just being a topic, on a topic.

Jon · June 2007

I got a photo somewhere...

Ben - i managed not to break my SX this time. Due to the fact it was a hundred miles away. Instead i just bent my hardtail's forks/ steerer and cased a helmet. Woo.

And yes. I am just shit.

no we need PIXS! of the topic you were going to post, not of the topic about the topic you were going to post.

I suggest you start a new topic.

P.s Im not doing that again.

Something round here tastes bad. Could be plain old bad taste.

Jon's coming down the easy Red course behind me at cannock, I pull off before the sleeper jump cause i can't be arsed to walk up too far.

Jon carries on, utterly skies it off the big, lefthand side of the sleeper jump, lands then utterly skies it off the newly rebuilt slab jump. Which'd have been fine, if he'd been going slow enough to make the turn that puts you on the right line for the slab jump. Instead of turning left up the jump he totally fails to make the turn and travels double the distance he'd need to if he was on the right line.

He lands in the undergrowth, front wheel hits a very large stump and both he and the bike flip, the bike must've gone a couple of metres through the air, Jon meanwhile used his facebrake through the bramble.

as far as i remeber its not technically possible to sky it off the sleeper jump as its only 2 foot high.

however i have old mans stamp collectioned up off the next jump in the exact same way, because i too am corr blimey.

<center>Killing? No. No satisfaction. Everything up until the killing, will be a gas.</center>

Alex · June 2007

The jump after has gotten much bigger since you last rode there Tom.
