Anyone know if the Chris Brand that got hurt is perhaps "THE" Chris Brand who used to be a very successful Enduro (and MX) racer in his younger days, talking about in the 80's and 90's?

Thanks JCZA

 

So this guy can ride a bike, what a pity and hope he and Malherbe recover well.

Ah... the "Proper Mountain Biker" term again...

All will heal, just dust yourself off and get back on that bike! All the best.

Photographer: "Hey Con, sorry bud I missed that, can you go back and do it again?"

 

Unfortunate crash, hope recovery is quick.

A track like this used to be a down hill course at the time the masters were still young, now the send us down in lycra on 8kg carbon bikes. That said, the track is the same for every rider and you have the choice to ride it, walk it, or go for the b or c line. Guess I will be looking for the x, y and z line...
