I probably asked Brian if he was ok about 2,410,968 times over the following 24 hours because I just couldn't believe he walked away from this one relatively unscathed... thank the mtb gods he's an absolute tank. THE SHOW MUST GO ON!!!

Is there any footage of it from another angle or was it just hi filming that day? Looks gnarly from this angle but i cant quite place how the OTB rotation was with his angle. Super happy all is well though. Reminds me of my brother eating absolute shit when we were kids on a sketchy dirt ramp near our house. Lost his air, i thought he was dying being like 10 years old or whatever with no knowledge of first aid.

My thumb actually started hurting WORSE when I got back home, what the hell?!

With the one hour charging speed alone, it is more than enough reason for me to grab one.

The fact that the River 2 has a 3000 charge cycle means it could actually work for 10 years.

I do like the handle at the back. It makes carrying it around a whole lot easier.

If you need your van checked, Antero Automotive & Alignment in downtown Buena Vista can get you squared away. The owner of the shop is my uncle. A cool fact about those tunnels at the beginning is that Red Bull Racing drove their f1 car through them during the F1 USA Road Trip. The video is worth a watch!

You need to get an OBD2 code scanner so you can get an idea of why the CEL is on. At least it would give you an idea if it's critical or not.

They make such comfortable elbow pads. When it is not blazing hot, why would everyone on rough trails not be using them? FWIW- My 55 year old wife is the toughest mountain biker in the world. Last year while riding at Oil Well Flats (Canon City Co highly recommend) she had an over the bars. When I caught up to her she had huge chunks of cactus in about 5 places including a huge one on her forehead. She insisted on finishing the ride because, "If I am going to mess up my face I am at least getting a ride in".

Hi from the UK, I just love your videos as I've just retired at 62 young and getting back into riding, took your advice, and got myself an osprey 5 pack to carry my stuff and water it fantastic thanks

Glad you're okay! Great footage and amazed you kept going. Glad to know you're human but can't believe that's your worst crash with everything you do. Keep riding!

Have you considered a odb2 reader for your van? I'm no mechanic but its easily saved me and my friends good chunk of change. Easy to google the error codes, and eases my mind knowing how severe the error is. One of the fixes was literally just resetting the error and restarting the car, that would have been a $240 fix. That trail was nasty and the slam was even more nasty! Still looked like a good time!

1. OOF! Glad you emerged banged but not broken. 2. You need a bluetooth OBD-II reader for your van so the ultra-vague check engine light doesn't spook you for no reason. Tons on Amazon, of course. I think the one I have is called Blue Driver. Worthwhile purchase. Just don't leave it plugged in 24/7 as I've heard that can cause issues (but that may be an urban legend).

Glad you're alright Brian, but those who follow the trend and are going without hydration packs, this is where they more than pay off, when you take a hit to the back and it takes it instead of you. Mine saved me already a good one and meant I could make the big riding trip just 4 weeks later and let's not talk about having the stuff you need, when you need it and plenty of water.

So glad you survived that "off" Brian, but that back looks like it hurts a lot man. Excellent video throughout, as always! Cheers!
