reverse endo caught on video

[pharus]

I was trying to get some mtb footage to send to friends who are unfamiliar with mtb. Here at the Novi tree farm, I was try to catch some air off the hill after the crater, but I misjudged the way the ground falls away again, and I just went over backward. I was able to ride my way out, after the wind was knocked totally out of me. I have some very large bruises today, which for your sake, I am not sharing.

I don't think I have embedded this video correctly, so if anyone could give me a pointer on that, I will correct it. Thanks.

Glad you're all right. Also, I fixed the link. It needs to not have the www. on the front of it.

Ouch!! Glad to see you are ok

Holy crap, that looked pretty bad. Hope you are OK after that. The one and only time I rode the crater, I got way too much air, and almost ended up like that, but luckily caught it before anything bad happened.

If you ever want to go spend an afternoon falling at the crater again, PM me. It's my second favorite pastime... right behind going way too fast into the pump track and shooting out of the first berm.

Glad you're ok... Were you with it enough after your fall to pin the next rock garden?

Glad to hear your alright. I love the groans of agony at the end. Im sorry but that there is some funny s@!t.

I didn't try much of anything after that, just wanted to make it to the truck! I have tried the following rock garden twice, only making it about 3/4 through each time. I need more speed at the start, or more pedaling in the middle, or I should just bunny hop the whole *beep* thing.

Looks like Steve showed us why it's nicknamed the crater...... Seriously though, glad you're ok.

What did the s/o say when she saw that? 'Cause I know my riding days would likely be over (for a while ).

I knew there was a reason why I always take that little exit to the right...big guys like me are just not meant to fly...

[ibisman]

If you hit the back brake it will pull your front end down. Glad you are ok. Big guys can catch air...they just land harder.

"This is nicknamed the crater, hopefully Steve doesn't show you why."

Famous last words... too funny. Glad you're ok, thanks for sharing.

*beep* right

the play calling is spot on

[risnewski]

and HoDaddy was nowhere in the video...

Did a backwards endo there myself, going up the Crater backwards. Your response was more polite.

Great video post.
