Ans and Sue Posted April 20, 2015 Posted April 20, 2015 Can anybody shed some light on apparent crash? Gina Nixon had this weekend. And also the results please.
jimmy hardtail Posted April 20, 2015 Posted April 20, 2015 I've heard that she broke her back but I don't know if that is accurate.

Try here Otherwise copy and paste this sucker: http://www.pinkbike.com/u/ericpalmer/blog/wp-dh-round-2-vuurberg.htmlIts working, quote:She saw it coming and tried to tuck over into a frontie to avoid smashing her face, but ended up coming down hard on the back of her neck. A very scary moment, but luckily no serious injury as far as I know, but she went to get checked out to be safe.end quote. Sounds like she got hurt but not too seriously I must say. Its some of the best photography I've seen http://ep1.pinkbike.org/p5pb12140166/p5pb12140166.jpg
Headshot Posted April 20, 2015 Posted April 20, 2015 Ouch, that doesn't sound great for Gina at all. Looks like a great if tricky track though.
Eddy Gordo Posted April 20, 2015 Posted April 20, 2015 Eish, why oh why must we always be teased by these cool trails.When do we get to ride here?
Super_mil Posted April 20, 2015 Posted April 20, 2015 Eish, why oh why must we always be teased by these cool trails.When do we get to ride here?AFAIK the trail is on private property. I'm not sure of the access arrangements.If you want to ride it, it would be best to enter the race

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted April 20, 2015 Posted April 20, 2015 I've heard that she broke her back but I don't know if that is accurate.Yep. Broken neck and back but she has full motion. A couple of months in a brace and some rest and recovery and she'll be fine. That was from Chris earlier today. He's upbeat about it and reckoned she'll be back to racing in a couple months.
