ThePubSA Posted June 23, 2014 Share For times like this you put your trust in rigid steel.Those forks i wouldnt trust with more then a pavement drop and thats probably gonna shorten its lifespan... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThePubSA Posted June 23, 2014 Share How often do carbon fibre forks break on BMXes?They stronger cause they smaller and bmx track riders usually bloody smooth with their lines too ... that drop he does is like a case unless you go large in to the corner.

SteveS Posted June 23, 2014 Share For times like this you put your trust in rigid steel.Those forks i wouldnt trust with more then a pavement drop and thats probably gonna shorten its lifespan... Judging by the condition of the front wheel, I think he can be lucky that the fork snapped. It at least dispersed some of the energy. You are right the steel fork would have been fine, the rider no so much. Rushdee and ThePubSA 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gummibear Posted June 23, 2014 Share Imagine that broken Carbon parts digging into the flesh like a hot knife in butter. True story! Seen it happen with a seat post.Sat with my buddy while Dr tried to scratch out all the carbon splinters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

popcorn_skollie Posted June 23, 2014 Share I was right behind him. I didn't actually know he attempted this till I saw his bike spinning away. Stopped me and the guys behind me from 'going for gold'. The guy you see in the first pic (red tshirt) landed that jump. He wasnt so lucky a couple minutes later on the next jump though. He got away with a concussion and a few scrapes but generally okay. It was quite an eventful day. Everybody who was there agrees though. It was one of the most awesome rides ever. Edit: I have to add this because I just remembered. When discussing his rigid before the ride he said (and I quote) 'Real mountain bikers don't need suspension'. He was only joking though.

Escapee.. Posted June 23, 2014 Share HHHHhhmmmmm!!! bly om te sien jy is ok. As ek so kyk, het julle so bietjie op die DH track gespeel, en dis wat so 7/8jaar terug gebeer het met n XC ryer wat ook op die DH track gespeel het en sy nek gebreek het op n 4meter gap jump. Gelukkig het nog iemand op hom af gekom. Einde van die storie, toe dagvaar hy Zevenwacht omdat hy sy nek gebreek het en sy eie simpelgyd. My vraag is, wat het hy daar met sy xc bike gedoen op 4meter gap jump. Ja, sekere fietse kan dit doen, maar die proebleem sit tussen die seat op bars wat moet weet hoe om dit te doen. Daai het veroorsaak daat Zevenwacht vir n tyd die hulle fiets ry roetes toe gemaak het. Sorry to Hijack but if you are going to post in Afrikaans, please make sure you can spell. gebeer = gebeursimpelgyd = simpelgeitproebleem = probleem Rather type in English and use spell check Baaisikilist, Captain Fastbastard Mayhem, Jakkals. and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
