you can see on the first vid he still took a fair bit of speed into that - cant believe he cased.

well from doing some very crude calculations I figured out he was going about 75km/h IN THE AIR, so way faster than that in the transition

Finally a good angle vid. It really shows how fast they needed to go to clear it. Sucks for everyone, especially Candide

the vid from the bottom...

that's the worst feeling in the world, when you leave the lip and know immediately that you're knuckling. course i've never had that feeling as long as he must have on that one, that was a large jump.

Haha or when you overshoot and you spot your landing but all you see is flatness. Yeah that sucks.

so true. That feeling really sucks, and in candide's case, he had enough time to figure out what injury he'd have, then tell eveyone before he even fell.

it looked like he thought he was gonna clear it, he kept it tucked up and steezy till just before he knuckled, and he didn't miss it by that much

ever broke your back before? i have and as long as there is no nerve damage or alignment issues, a full recovery can be just 12 weeks away. i broke my back March 29, 2006 and was riding DH by July. as long as he just broke the bones in his back and he didn't suffer any nerve damage, he should be back after a short break.

hes got knee problems


i called this from the start, the jump is too big for it to be fun or cool. all it ever was, was an accident waiting to happen.

no i haven't actually. and yes, it does depend on how you broke it, where you broke it, and if anything else was damaged. i don't know the extent of the situation, but my friend fell off a roof and he was out for a year.
