Im sorry Sprokets but to claim he's set this up is pretty bad. I've had a set of forks snap at the steerer on me twice (not a pair of Suntours and only due to a long period of use) and the 2nd time knocked me out so hard it threw me into seizures and i ended up in hospital. There's not exactly any safe way to stage something like this and it's definately not something you want to happen on a dirtjump. There's a possibility it was all faked and edited to look worse than it was. But it wouldnt have been clever to tamper with the steerer/crown then hit a jump, just to get hits on a video...

I guess our health system does work differently here and we get support just from minor injuries putting you off work. Pretty sure theres also a good benefit to support us if we end up paralyzed as well. I'm on seguillo's side here. I wouldn't go out to sue the people kind enough to let us use their land in the 1st place.

conv3rt are you fucking serious??? You'd actually consider suing the landowner due to your own fault of crashing, when they did nothing but own the property and allow people to build the trail/ jumps so more people can enjoy it?... That's low. That's why landowners everywhere are so off having people build on their property. Lawyers are slime and if you follow advice like that then you're not gunna be any better than them. We're lucky to have landowners allow us to build on their property, and personally, theres no way id ever sue anyone if i crashed on their property unless somehow they purposefully caused the crash.. We know the risks of our sport and we should be the only ones liable for our actions. Landowners are just people kind enough to share their property with others. In NZ it's a mission to find land to build on that isnt owned by anyone because we're such a small country. My trails are on private property where we've talked with the landowner to get permission to build there, and i'm grateful he's allowed us to use it. There's no way i'd ever stoop so low as sueing him just for being a good person. No mountain biker should think this way, and any that do shouldnt be riding bikes at all, because it just kills the sport and they way people view us. You know the risks, you should be accepting that it's your own fault what may go wrong mid air or an the trail. Im glad that sueing isn't common in New Zealand, if everyone went around sueing each other like they do in America we'd have nowhere to ride...

Pretty sure the trail bosses were the 1s that allowed this video and riding to happen..

Aslong as you're a digger you'll be welcome at most spots, even if they are bmx only. Just gotta know what youre doing, put in the hard work and meet the right people. Lazy people dont get to ride spots like this.

stumper21's talking about the racers, not the freeriders..

good stuff!
