NotSoBigBen Posted July 18, 2008 Posted July 18, 2008 Grabbed a lotta brake there ! Â You right looks like he's squeezing the front but nothing on the back lever (or maybe he has that motorbike style front right thing going?)

You can see the rear knobblies clear but the front ir blurry.

mon-goose Posted July 18, 2008 Posted July 18, 2008 also if you follow the brake cables then his left brake is for the front and right for the back
Slowbee Posted July 18, 2008 Posted July 18, 2008 ok so through all your visual analysis, did he fall because of to much rear brake ?  Â
AndreZA Posted July 18, 2008 Posted July 18, 2008 I think he rear wheel hit something and it jumped up. and with having having the setting too stiff it did not give.  Â
Ane Gouws Posted July 18, 2008 Posted July 18, 2008 Nope, he hit the root of the tree with the back wheel and he did not recover.  Thats why he saw his ass
_Daemon_ Posted July 18, 2008 Author Posted July 18, 2008 Looks like his helmet is coming off in the 2nd pic...
Slowbee Posted July 18, 2008 Posted July 18, 2008  I think he rear wheel hit something and it jumped up. and with having having the setting too stiff it did not give.    note to self - when going downhill faster than slow - make sure rear suspension set to soft - actually very very soft ...Â
Speed Devil Posted July 18, 2008 Posted July 18, 2008 If you look at the cloud of dust on the first photo, my gues would be that his rear wheel clipped the root of the tree.
BIGBOY Posted July 18, 2008 Posted July 18, 2008 Who's the HE, it looks like a she with that long hair
