That is just crazy, one slight movement the wrong way and you are outta here.

Always like watching extreme sports like this. *thumb*

yeah, 2 riders had to be flown out by helicopter after they crashed, luckily "just" stuff like broken legs. the especially dangerous thing is that they can not wear a brace to protect their neck, like it is done in normal downhill races, because it would hinder them during tricks....so they just wear a chest/back protector.

here's a nice video from the qualification runs, check the crash at 0:58
