actiondan Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 (edited) As always.... Amazing. Like the beard too! That crash is savage, makes most crashes look trivial (much like his riding makes mine look)! Edited June 3, 2011 by actiondan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusevelt Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 Christ! that cliff fall bail was huge :o Shame the video came to an abrupt end, because those natural lines at the beginning looked so sick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddbmxdude Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 Wow. That fall was shocking to watch Makes you realise that no matter how proficient you think you are on a bike, we're not invincible. Get well soon Chris! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkshire Dale Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 least he is keeping in high spirits bout it the actual trials riding was wicked! get well soon me old crusty bap x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saunders Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 The riding was awesome, some serious style going on. Great to see Chris riding a trials bike again. That fall was mental!!! Hope he has a speedy recovery and is back on a bike soon. Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topsy Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 Enjoyed the riding a lot Pretty unlucky with the grass giving away :/ Hope he gets well as soon as possible! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikeperson45 Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 As bad as the bail was, had to laugh after watching him fall down a cliff then hearing him say 'took a bit of a hit' like it was nothing Awesome riding and the filming was also really good on that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aener Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 I read that he'd been hospitalized, and really hoped it wouldn't be on video. Almost stopped watching when I realized they were gonna show it. Hope this doesn't put him out for good, been such an inspirational rider. Can't imagine it'd stop him altogether but the way he was talking makes it look dim. Pre-crash lines were real nice, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD™ Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 Chris is such a legend, and anyone reading this thread who hasn't watch his old school videos should go do so, STAT. What a f**king fall. Made me feel a little bit sick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrialsIsHard Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 I did a gap like this a few months ago near the edge of a fall about this size.. (obviously the gap was small, as I'm not Chris!) But this gave me a horrible feeling that I got off lightly! Wishing Chris a fast recovery, and hope he's back on two wheels soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canardweb Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 That was crazy. What a fall. I can't believe he is still alive after such a fall! What a man, I hope he recovers really fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greetings Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 Did I just see like 20 people rescue him after that fall? That looked pretty nasty, hope he recovers soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F.N.G Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 Jesus! I didn't know he broke all them bones by doing that. thats was crazy! Hope he get riding soon though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miles Mallinson Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 How can someone been that smooth and fast. He was pretty close to holding on the cliff it seems but it was such a mental gap. I'm betting he will go try it again but maybe with some people on the edge of the cliff. At least he is keeping himself busy in hospital aswell. He will come back stronger and faster though, I bet he is thinking what to jump off next or where he is going to take his bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skoze Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 He is an incredible rider, sooo fluid! Everything pre-crash is too good. That last line is huge to try, shame it went so badly wrong! Massively harsh slam to take - fair play for being more alright than most of us would be after it. Fix up dude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Harrison Posted June 4, 2011 Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 Outstanding. And you just know that when he's recovered, he'll be tearing it up again. In terms of all round ability and persistance, nobody comes close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mtchell Posted June 4, 2011 Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 great video really enjoyed that lengend though...."you alright chris" - "ambulance" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan Shaw Posted June 4, 2011 Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 (edited) Really good video, up untill the crash of course! Its good to see Chris going back to his roots and doin more Trialsy stuff. He's great to watch and its a throw back to when I started Trials. Chris' "Hill in Spain" video is cool too. Worth a watch if you haven't seen it.
