Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted June 12, 2013 Share Nope. Just one crash as far as Deon is aware and he would know being the Tokai AMA rep. Maybe crossed wires with all the different friends etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaco-fiets Posted June 12, 2013 Share Very sad! Accidents happen so fast On our way home during training ride today we had a strong wind from behind. On a slight decline we were going around 70km/hr and my buddy says: you know if your handlebar snaps now you probably wont get up. Thinking about it made me so nervous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Deon) Posted June 13, 2013 Share Cool thanks for clearing that up!!! Meezo, can you PM me the details you have of a possible 2nd incident? By 330pm that day, there was only one accident that both I and the Park ranger at the gate knows of. OufyMTB also indicated a second possible injury but according to him, he had already left Tokai earlier in the day (10am). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meezo Posted June 13, 2013 Share @meezo last I heard doctors will only have news the weekend. Do you know of anything perhaps? He's brother said he would let us know, that was yesterday when we last spoke to him. Still haven't heard anything. So yes above is probably why.

pain86 Posted June 13, 2013 Share Hi Guys, My name is Zain and I am said riders friend. All the support from this forum is amazing and it really puts me at ease to know that there are so many people out there praying for our friend and brother. His in a stable condition and is currently on a ventilator to make breathing easy since the operation has really tired his body out. The operation was indeed successful since the doctors were able to get his vertebrae back in place. wrt to him walking again, only time will tell but we pray that he has a speedy and full recovery with the help of god. IA. The doctors did say that he has a very strong will and this will definitely count in his favour. We were part of the group that was at vasbyt gearing up. We usually come in a group of friends around 10 and just come to have fun within limits since we are still new the sport. I don't know what to make of what happened and can only but pray for my friends speedy and full recovery. Another one of our riders fell on the exact spot earlier the morning and we have some footage of it, from there we more or less have an idea of what happened. We assume that he came short from the jump and rolled on his front wheel for some time before the bike through him over to the right, where he hit his head on the rock. It is something I think that could have happened to anyone. There was a couple of guys that stopped to help us, one guy gave us water because we ran out and the crm number to call. Another guy I think pain or shine, came and moved some trees in the way of the jump and spoke to us and got everything ready for the ambulance to come. I want to thank these guys for their help. Lastly, the rock is in a position that is out of everyones way, and we couldn't understand how our friend hit. We now feel though that it is hazardous and would like to remove the rock from the trail. I did some research and found out that to remove anything from the trail you need permission. So if anybody could help me in this regard, perhaps a number i can contact or someone I can speak to, to get permission to remove the rock. this will be really appreciated. His father wants to see the jump and rock, so we planning on heading out coming Sunday morning to do the necessary. Any help would be great. Again, thanks to all for the support and the prayers. His family really appreciates. Thanks, slowpoke, heed0, Capricorn and 9 others 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted June 13, 2013 Share Hi Zain, glad to hear he's getting better and fighting it. Give him our regards. The guy to speak to is Deon (pain or shine) and from what we talked about yesterday (met him for coffee) he may already have moved the rock. It seems as if your mate was going just too slow to clear it, but just too fast to roll it as well. Kinda a catch 22 situation which, as you know, could have happened to anyone. See you on the trail dude. I'll be the guy in the pink pisspot puking my lungs out in the climbs. pain86 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
