My Painful Bmx Crash (over A Rail Down A 10 Set)

Heres the church stair drop.

I've been wanting to try it for a while and today (after an awesome days riding) i gave it a go.

I levelled out too early and landed on the back wheel and slipped out.

Smacked my arse bone and head, and i'm walking like a cripple at the moment.

On the plus side i had the balls to give it a go, cleared the rail, and i'll have to try it again sometime with a helmet.

Comments would be great haha

Edit: just looked again and you rear wheel is soo close to hitting the rail, could have been a nut cracker!

I have nothing against wearing a helmet and when i try it again next time i'll be wearing one, but i left my helmet at home today and just wanted to do it....

But yea, luckily i didn't really smack my head...but i wish i'd been wearing some sorta ass pad haha

I didn't think it looked all that bad. Going by the shadow you where on your feet quick enough :)

Kudos for trying but you really need to wear a helmet. That could have been really bad had you whipped your head into the ground a bit harder.

Edit**

I feel for you smacking your arse like that though. Standing up/sitting down afterwards is literary a pain in the ass ;)

As everyone has said wear your helmet, could have been alot worse. Next time try and level out abit more, you were practically vertical when you landed.

I've done a head shot aswell, I did mine attempting a tap onto a picnic table and the back wheel didn't make it and I fell into an empty pool head first. Plus side though I think I got smarter, I learnt to wear my helmet. I should of learnt that though when I rupsured my spleen and hit my head on my front wheel (while being KO'd).

Look for some 'ass pads', they should make it less of a pain in the arse next time. Good luck finding them though.

Good luck on the next try. Make sure to video it and show us.

BMX 101.

Always land 2 wheels flat.

Fair play though, I bet it looked bigger being there.

Haha, yea i know, i always like to land my rear wheel slightly before to save my wrists a bit

I think the reason i landed rear wheel first because the only bit i was really worried about, was clipping that rail (crash could of been a lot worse if i did)....so i hopped bigger than i should have and leveled out as i would have on a smaller drop (and once you hopped at that angle, you're f**ked and can't correct it.....) I thought i might of got away with it but apparently not, back brake would probably of saved me.....
