Sorry Tom, heal up buddy. I am not much of a click-bait guy, but I had to share this epic crash. Doctor Park in sub-optimal light with fellow Yeti racer, Tom Sampson. #Followcamfriday broken bones and hospital visit edition. #MakePOVgreatAgain.

Ouch! Something like that nearly happened to me not too long ago, but the fallen tree was a little closer to the ground, and I was able to hop over it.
Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! And still standing. Way to hang Tom. I’m amazed that more us do not get moderately to seriously hurt during mtb crashes — broken bones like Tom or more. Just yesterday we were flying down a mountain slope just north of Ulaanbaatar, and the mountain god decided to slam one of our buddies to the ground. He hit hard, really hard, but escaped with just a couple of bruises forming. When I saw it happen, I thought for sure we were going to carry him out (no evac service in Mongolia), but instead, he rode a few more hours in big terrain with no issues.
Craziest thing is the guy filming saw the tree before the guy in the front!!!
