Dude, shits kinda week.Â I don't know how much down-hilling you do but it looks like you just freaked out on the drop and grabbed your brakes accidentally.Â I used to do this all the time off of any drop with a steep landing, because I was just like "Shit I'm gunna land and get out of controll," but then I sacked up and just focused on good landings and worried about braking later, and I got 10 times better and could actually keep up with the kids I ride with, who are really sick.

na man, it was just a freak accident, it was super windy and the take off was all sandy and loose, and u had to go super slow which makes things sketchy. I do alot of freeride, DH biking in the summer, and thats never happened before.

I mean like the wind just added to the problem, the soft landing was the obvious reason for the crash.;

you have to stay confident and try to stick it the whole way

and P.S. try to bend your elbows in the air, it will give you way more control over the bike

I know about the whole bending of the elbows thing. I don't need any tips. i just slipped on some loose shit up top and my front end dropped like a mother fucker and there fore my arms a straight, trying to keep the front up.
