quoted from NS:

 

a local racer at my mountain was with a bunch of my friends at Denton for a race- they were jumping this little drop and then skking away like 20 times in a row- he came up- hit i- couldnt stop before a turn and launched off a rerally steep drop into trees- he had a helmet on but still died from head trauma- just goes to show you don't have to be doing crazy shit to get fucked up

That's interesting because one of my fellow coach's dad was first on the scene and they were doing gate training, not jumping a drop. He caught a tip with the gate and spun out f control into the woods and smashed his spine on a tree. Like anything, there are always two sides to every story. It's ashame either way and just goes to show how quickly things can happen.
