This last saturday, we were up in the mountains doing a ride near a place called Ferndale, my brother (Teflon on this forum) was in front of me and as you can see, behind this youngster on his 2 wheeler. Terrain was rough with long grass and plenty of lurkers..

Coincidently, this was a few Km before I snapped my arm in half.

This poor dude, was complaining his head was sore. You can hear me rock up on the two stroke and I took of his goggle and helmet to see if he was ok. I didnt want him to sit up incase his neck was hurt but he did. He had bitten his tounge and was bleeding in his mouth. I asked him if he was concussed but he said he wasnt sure... (dumb question i know but how must I know?? :))

He was riding with his dad who was informed that his son had wiped and we heard at the end of the ride that the marshals had to fetch him and that he was in fact concussed.

pretty cool wipeout though!

the clip is very narrow because the camera was set to film at 90* so I had to rotate it...so its tall screen and not wide screen :(
