Things that go Krash !

Had to happen. The fabulous WxMan Bobby V was out riding yesterday with Geoffss. Bob tried to make a jump and didn't clear the 2nd launch.
Geoff said Bob sounded like a pillowcase full of tools and wrenches when he hit the ground.
His back is severely broken, as are most of his ribs. He was wearing a full face helmet.....the chin guard of which stopped his head from being compressed further, saving him from a broken neck and instant death.
Geoffss, being one of my own highly trained flightplanners/mt. bikers who knows his shit......spineboarded Bobby and stabalized him. Paras showed up and they hiked out of the unmentionable spot of less than legal land they were riding on...to a clear spot. Clear enough for the helo.
Bobby was lucid enough to yell at Geoffss to 'start taking some fucking pictures with that camera you always have', and shooting the breeze with the pilots who airlifted him out. Bobby does their weather briefs.......go figure.

He's in surgery this afternoon. Back broken in 2 places, spinal cord seems okay, so he'll be in total bedrest for about a month.

Dumbass....and he 'chides me for climbing instead of ripping the downhills.
Well, there goes our Sunday ride;(
I'll take the pictures when Geoffss sends me them Monday and post all the gnarl and blood.

Cheers
Oh yeah, bike riding is for pussies !!!!
