VIDEO: Downhill Faceplant Scorpion Crash 19

If he had 29-inch wheels he woulda pulled it. *You're doing it wrong* taken to a whole new level.

Seeing how this is an insanely rare event on top of the guy being completely fine, I'd say this is hardly a showcase as to why Leatt braces are a good investment although most of us know that it is added protection... yadda?

Looked like he had really strong neck muscles. First time I've seen someone do a handspring using the visor of their helmet and their neck, that or his clipless pedals and the forward momentum of the bike...

I would consider him lucky. I don't think the guy needs to break his neck for it to be a proper showcase of why you should buy a Leatt? Going over the bars onto your head (regardless of destroying your wheel) is not a rare event especially if you are racing clipped in.

Hello Mavic, is wheel implosion from riding over roots covered under your warranty?

Actually, he would have because he would have cleared the whole set.
