Matt Burrows Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 Jesus christ that is one nasty crash! Looks like both sides of BB snapped? How old was it? Fair play for trying that line though, I remember loads of us looking at it a few years back and thinking how harsh it would be! Hope you feel better soon mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greetings Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 (edited) I've seen at least 10 videos of different people being lucky when something went wrong on a drop gap. And despite this all of you still do these stupid moves.... Hope you get better soon. Edited August 15, 2006 by Inur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christophe' Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 That bb failure makes me wonder.We (Trials riders) Are relying on parts designed for the more "normal" rider.Maybe a bottom bracket needs to be designed that is strong enough to take the abuse of trials?bars stem bb cranks pedals,,,,,,,need to be strongive never seen a pedal axle snap,,,,,,,,,has anyone else?

And despite this all of you still do these stupid moves.... Hope you get better soon.People front tap too low and smash their teeth out.. your not goin to tell them to stop, trials is generally a dangerous sport, if your just guna sit around doing tiny things hoping nothing goes wrong you wont get anywhere.
