Are you serious? He was blinded with pow on the first landing. He didn't intend on going into the trees, he meant to go to his left of the trees and hit the second cliff.

I guess this type of thing happens when you intentionally jump off of cliffs, best of luck on a speedy recovery.

Well you do naturally want to go bigger and get out of your comfort zone when you are getting filmed. Going big will catch up to you sooner or later. Just thankful with all those injuries that he's still alive...and actually wants to ride again. Hope the healing goes well.

I was watching these guys do these drops the day before and they were amazing to watch.

This is a list of Chris's injuries: Fractured vertebras, shattered heel, fractured tibula & fibula, shattered pelvis, torn scrotum, torn abdominal muscle, fractured coccyx bone, lacerated blatter, internal bleeding. It all had to hurt but that torn scrotum had to be unbelievably painful!

I hear he is recovering well!

Call it a stunt or an extreme move or whatever you want. It was not a smart move.

It's called a mistake, that's what we call it. When you push it, mistakes have a bigger consequence than when you're sitting on your sled watching other people ride, or doing a bunch of turns in a flat meadow...

Don't worry, those of you that are complete panzies are likely safe. No trees will likely jump up & hit you 40 feet in the air by accident:face-icon-small-ton.


So weak to hear people whine about how a guy SHOULDN'T be out there pushing it though, or that riding how some of us choose to ride is stupid... SO WEAK.

Get out of your comfort zone every now & then... and ride like a real man. It's fun!!! (oh yeah, compared to Chris... I ride like a little sally girl... but at least I try!)

You can tell on the first drop where he was trying to go, the landing looks like it threw him to the side. Once your committed it just that. Makes me cringe reading the injury list.

I don't think that anyone was "whining" about it, from the angle it was filmed it didn't look like there was a good place to land had things actually gone the way he wanted.

I for one enjoy watching people go out and do stupid thing, pass or fail it's usually entertaining for those watching.

I've got 2 mortgages, I run a company.... I've got responsibilities... but there's also such thing as calculated risk (some have more calculated, some have more risk... :D)

I can still got out & hit 100+ on a regular basis... I just have to think about it a bit more than I used to!!!!
