The Atherton Project - Back Breaker

Episode 7 starts back at the Athertons' home in Wales. The family have their own trails behind the house which they train on whenever they're back home, and Dan and Gee hit the jumps.
Testing out a new line, suddenly, Dan disappears behind a jump for a lot longer than seems normal, and Gee and Clay rush to investigate, to find Dan on the ground. It's a neck injury, and it doesn't look good. In fact, it turns out Dan's lucky to be alive.
It's at least three months off the bike for Dan, which has him thinking about the bigger picture. This episode is dedicated to the fallen riders who may not have been so lucky.

For anybody wondering, a BMX Dirt Jumper Stephen Murray had a similar accident but wasn't quite as lucky as Dan as he was Paralysed from the neck down. The last part of this video's description instantly made me think of that and the utmost respect for Red Bull / The Atherton Project for including that indirect tribute! Stay Strong Stephen!

MrTechEasy Amen to that....Much respect Stephen👊

mate i was in the exact same position a year ago. All i can tell you is that by doing it on weekends when I can and a good bit in holidays I can now do the majority of the freeride trails in my local woods fairly confidently, working on tweaks. I think if you practice alot there is always a possibility but i know how frustrating it is not to have started at 7 at snowboarding, biking, art (so basically all the things id love to do for a career).The only way to find out is to keep trying! Gd luck!

ive seen a lot of riders wearing neck braces and i think they do help, check out the wingsforlife website, they make neck braces and explaining them. After watching this im seriously considering getting one, even though im not hitting the kind of jumps they are.
