As and old school guy hanging on to youth. Arm/elbow pads are a must, a surgeon told me once elbows are the worst joint to damage. Very difficult to repair and very long recovery. It may not be cool but armour up

Playing yard games with Ziggy doesn't sound too bad. Heal up Brother..

Forty years mountain biking, some cracked ribs, multiple broken helmets, bike frames, cuts, scrapes and more.... And this video was still hard for me to watch. That trail is far more technical than how it may appear on camera. Glad you're okay and hope you're back riding again soon! Count me as impressed on so many levels!

I'm glad you're Ok. Telling ziggy not to send it and go around cracked me up, not going to lie. 😂

Man you were putting in a pretty clean lap too. So scary how this just can just happen in a blink of an eye

Awesome riding and video, glad you are OK. Another proponent for pads here. My wife got tired of me ending up in the ER so she asked me to start wearing pads. I hated it at first but now I love it. I've taken some extremely rough falls that would have ripped my knees and/or elbows down to the bone but walked away with nothing but maybe a bruise. Plus, it's kinda a rush to take a bad fall and then pop back up with no damage done. Now, I've got to figure out how to protect myself from vertebrae compression fractures. I got one of those falling off an eight-foot ledge and I've been off my bike for over 3 months. I'm thankful it wasn't worse but damn hiking is boring. 👍

So right that it could have been much worse. That is a very technical drop due to narrow trail and quick turn. That run should always be done with a friend for safety reasons. Good video.

Taking a bad hop is terrifying. Glad your ok.

A full-face helmet and protective gear is always a good idea when riding technical trails like this. Glad you weren't hurt worse than you were, and hope you heal up soon.

As a multiple instances member of the "over the bar scar club" i used to don my crash pads on sketchy down hills 70 percent of the time. Chose to go native one time and ended up in the E.R. with gash not unlike our video host. Thats MTB for ya!

the feeling of washing out on the trail is so un-nerving

Dude so unfortunate! Bummer we couldn’t ride last week. Glad you are healing well. What a great trail and super gnarly way to end the ride 😳 Some awesome lines in there for sure.

Also the E-Bike is also heavy so can be one of the factors the landing was pretty sketchy, glad you're Ok. !!!

On the bright side you get to spend more time with that good boy!!!!!

Pandemic and Flying Dutchman! Can't wait to try them out. Never ridden at Burnt Bridge but looks so good! That rock roll looks crazy with an off camber turn right after, and the landing for that drop is so narrow!! 🤘🤘Hope you heal up quick.

wow that's pretty scary. I think you handled it very well tho and nice riding and video. I love the footage with just the riding noise, almost like a sort of mtb asmr! (definitely a new subscriber! ) I recently finally started getting back into mtb after a pretty serious wrist injury that started with calisthenics and escalated with a mtb crash. Hope you'll recover fast and you and your precious dog will be back on the trails soon !

Glad you’re okay!

Scary stuff! Back in the day i fell and knocked myself out, while riding with my dog. i came to right away and she was next to me. but working all the logistics out when you need to get to the hospital asap, but there is this dog that you care for.. and oh yeah, big-a** bike also.. it doesnt make it any easier does it..? All thing considered glad youre ok, and also a big pat on the back for what you handled after the crash until assistance arrived!!!

Glad you're doing well Be safe

Thought about trying mountain biking. Thanks for curing me from that thought

Gnarly dude. Glad you're alright! Wish you a speedy recovery. I'm waiting on a rear hub warranty :(

Glad you are okay. That is a gnarly trail. Love your bike by the way. I want the Altitude a lot . Subbed to see more about the bike.

Damn ! Great bike (Rocky Mountain Instinct 🚴🇨🇦 here in south of France), great ride, and...... very sad fall 💥 I hope you're ok now, please stay safe 🙏

Damn the Jordans are having a bad week :/

In the blink of an eye, thanks for sharing

Sweet trail and nice riding! I ride the same bike in the uk. Heal quick, happens to the best of us.

Man that's brutal, glad you're ok and Ziggy was there to take care of you

Get well soon!

Yeah, while I love watching guys like you ride that stuff I am never going to risk it. Mind you I'm 51 now so that time came and went. Lol I finally got my first full suspension in 2019 and chose a light trail bike because I wasn't fooling myself as to what I will ride and what I won't.

That trail is nasty... I was a sick run until that, at least nothing broken, and you gained one subscriber !

Love that 1st trail. 😍

From what I can see even the best fall. What a gruesome sport. To get better you must make mistakes or you never really ride fast and daring and make big jumps or drops . Nuts but such a cool sport.

I'm with the other commenters- Arm, leg and chest protection are as important as a full-face helmet for this pro-level terrain particularly at this speed. PPE is fairly cheap and I never notice I'm wearing it until it spares me a hospital trip. You are a very skilled rider!! I enjoyed the trip until the horror!

Those few moments before the pain hits is almost worse than the pain itself. I know that sounds weird, until you've been there.

Two weeks ago I crashed on a descent and dislocated my hip. As you say, these things happen fast. Wishing you a speedy recovery.

Trails looks so fun!

Elbow pads are your friend. Ask any doctor about elbow injuries. It’s such a delicate joint that is never the same after injury.

I componed fractured my left arm and put my tooth through my lip on a drop a few yrs back. Went on vacation next day stayed in a tent on ocean in town. Fished one armed. Rode this morning pretty much ride everyday. That fell sucked. I've got gnarly scars. Lol.

Dang that was rowdy. I felt that one in my body just watching.

oooof .. felt that

There are some features I will not ride not because of the feature itself, but because the landing zone is problematic. Add this one to that list!

that is why a helmet is a must, Jesus that's a bad gash man, glad you are ok.

Damn that fall looked rough! Hope you're healing up alright. I can't believe your dog went down some of those rock rolls! If you'd appreciate some video advice, I think adding some music or something other than just raw riding would add a lot. Heal quick and keep riding 🤟

Man, that's harsh. They come right out of nowhere, huh? Mine was similar, two months ago, drop, tossed + slammed into the ground with broken ribs, shattered bones in the hand, dislocation of thumb + forefinger followed by ER + emergency surgery to repair hand damage. After years of adventures I'm now out of it for this year w/likely permanent limitations to hand function. However, like you, it could have been much worse. So, peace + healing to you, Bro

Good run...get better...subscribed

Excellent video!

that sucks, but I'm glad it's not that hard on your body happens to the best of us

Knarly crash but could have been way worse! Surprised you ride that aggressively alone.. either way you got skills brother!

Watching that made me shake too, In a scared type of feeling. Glad you're okay! I bet tha adrenaline helped a ton haha!

Great use of audio. Great video. Adda boy

Never fun. Glad to hear it wasn’t worse! At least yard games with Ziggy is always a win!

yeah that happens when you run off the trail. lol. hey it got me too lol

What a trail! Running a trail like that alone is pretty brave on its own too. Glad you’re OK. The most important question of all though: is the bike OK? 😂

Thanks for sharing this video. Im adding elbow, knee, armour pads to my cart as i speak. Im 38 and new to this hobby... Theres no way im not eating ground at some point.

Don't ride alone...... Get well soon 😊

“Shoulda worn yer pads, dood!!” Is what my buddy always says to me in these situations (pads typically sitting in my car or at home). Looks like the front wheel slipped off the right edge of the trail’s soft edge….booof!

wish you the best, it happens, better that than a broken bone

Bloody lucky mate! Done exactly the same here in Scotland years ago shot my collar bone through my skin it snapped in 2 places, dislocated my shoulder and tore the muscle clean off the bone! It was 15 year ago now still remember it like yesterday but it's only this year I bought a new emtb to get back on a bike it left me scarred for life that mentally aswell! I've not been out on my new bike yet as just set it up changed few things bars stem so on then the weather's turned to rain constantly for about a fortnight as far as we know just now its depressing! But yeah the hospital sent me home for a week with a dislocated shoulder they thought it was a just the collar bone because the way they took the xray from up top didn't show the balljoint sticking out the back of my shoulder I was in absolute agony living with it for a while week popped out n round the back! Then it when they did eventually pop it back in it kept popping out they wouldn't pin it as kept going back in easy or something but in my mind I was like a cartoon image of me pulling the front up and my arm still being attached to the bars! Lol 2024 now 2008 when happened it's kept me off a bike along time finished my DH race days! So this time it's the ebike never riden one or the new geometry or fox suspension it feels so different sitting on the bike being carbon aswell so nice! Definitely a start of a new journey for me after a bad one! Good to see your good 👍

Man you can ride ! Recover well.

Looking at your video looks scary going down the narrow steep slope. I don’t know how you can do it though. Hope you are fully recovered.

Good old Canadian health care system, seems like every year the wait time gets an hour longer. Get better soon.

That’s a crazy trail…

Body Protector Reaflex from leatt, helps alot

Perhaps ziggy was saying “told you I shouldve gone first. You were too fast.” Lol jk Maybe get ziggy a doggo backpack that contains some basic first aid. He’ll gladly take the role of the first responder. Heal up fast Jord!

that's a BIG, akward feature man... too bad about the slip. When it bites, it bites hard. Hope everything heals up well and you get back out there. My dad just had something similar happen to him, 4 inch laceration on inside of arm, .5" deep, road biker hit him and he must have fell on the cassette. Stapled up and surgery for fully popped AC :P

78 with a hardtail, that trail may be just a bit too much. Well maybe more than a bit.

Glad you're okay bro. That was pretty gnarly riding! Question- who makes those brakes and levers? I'm building up a SC Chameleon and those fit the look and performance! Thanks and hope you're back on the trails!!

Unlucky with the crash!! Looks like you just went over the edge of the trail!! Would elbow pads have helped with the impact, maybe the arm wouldn't have been as bad as it was??

better then my 25 days ;)

That drop is deceiving. At first glance it doesn’t look so bad… until you add it all up… tall drop to pretty flat landing into rough shale… big rock wall to the left so you naturally head a bit right… land with high speed in loose shale and need to turn hard left right away. Nah… I skipped it.

You’re a great rider.. but watching I couldn’t keep up with navigating the turns. I’m glad you’re ok! Did the bike suffer any damage? You sure were riding hard down that huge forever mountain 😎

Good idea getting proper medical attention. I got a nasty gash on my arm, (not as bad as yours, but quite deep), while riding a couple years ago. Didn’t clean it properly and ended up oozing pus. Still, have a cool scar to show for it…

Nice riding. Hope u doing well. What settings did u use for ur action4 here? Lg

That trail looks amazing ! Would you be willing to share the location ?

Tough break. Seems like everyone is crashing lately…

I never ride without protectors and full armor, something can always go wrong and it's a waste of time to recover and after a fall you get up and keep riding. Sometimes people laugh at the fact that he is dressed like a knight, but anyone who has hit a tree hard a few times or landed on his face without and wearing protectors knows the difference. ikona Zweryfikowane przez społeczność

did they use an E stapler?

Makes me nervous just watching this.

It looked like he did the drop well and then what went wrong ?

Was there too much rebound?

Glad ur ok. Was that an electric bike u were on

seems pretty intense for the dog to be following you down all that no?

It always happens when you least expect it. Got new gen 4 trek rail last month. I was riding very steep trail and some stupid mom let her very small probably 2 year kid get into the trail. Went was getting down from the steep part where alot of stones, trees and roots were in the way and this kid came in there. I hit both breaks, but the bike wouldnt stop i would kill the kid as im 100 kg big guy and the bike is heavy so turned to the side and there was nowhere to ride and the bike pretty much volted and i had pretty bad crash over the bar into stones and trees and the bike landed on the arm. Luckly i was only bruised and had just some muscle pain. Could have ended really bad. The first thing on the mind was the bike though. I thought 10k bike went bye bye on first day. The crashes that you dont expect are the worst.

How the heck do you ride without gloves? My hand would be slipping all over the place.

thats why you usually wear glowes and protections 🙈

Is protection just not a thing anymore

12 hours for staples? I guess it's true, you get what you pay for.

ooof..Maybe an elbow guard would've helped?

This is crazy. Don't you care about concussions and headaches? The headaches can last your whole life. Deep dark depression and sometimes they put good people in prison because head injuries make them lash out. I would be careful and think what your doing. You're not a raccoon. A raccoon can fall off a tree and get up like nothing. I mountain bike and would love to do all that crazy stuff but I have a great respect and understanding for the woods and how they were made to prevent artificial speed. It's a horrible gamble. Running on trails is very natural and fun so try that maybe? Maybe talk to people at the hospital that are stuck in their house all day with debilitating injuries and ask them what they think. It seems like maybe you got a warning from God or mother nature so be careful. What happens is that people do this crazy stuff and realize the mistake...only after they have alot of time to think due to the debilitating injury that shut down their life.

Nice riding, but man, gloves and pads.

Always wear gloves and long sleeves. Get well, man!

No gloves, why?

I thought resuming riding after 3 years of stop and, incredibly, social media algorithms continue to show me videos of crashes and injuries. Is this a piece of advice to let it go?

Are you wearing pads now?

Why not wear gloves and elbow pads? Is there a reason?

I wear sleeve pads to cover my forearms and knee pads along with padded shorts . The protection has saved me many injuries and stitches. It amazes me that riders choose not to wear protection. Enjoy those injuries. I have zero sympathy for you

Not wearing gloves causes these kind of things to happen. You should wear gloves

Motorcycles are dangerous

12 hours in the waiting room. 1 hour for a bandaid 🩹
