[QUOTE="tx246, post: 403506, member: 23127"] zero is right. the the particular jump was not i repeat not dangerous. im my case, i landed on with my right foot not centered on the peg. kinda on the ball of my foot. this let my heel drop below the peg on the landing. as the suspension bottomed my heel was lower than the frame rail and the weight (force) rammed my heel causing the injury. as it stood, my left ankle got a good jolt and i imagine that is all that would of happened to my right ankle if my foot was properly on the peg. it would of happened on any g-out flat landing. ive just never had my heel in the wrong place at the wrong time. as for jay, he cased it and had no help from the suspension. the area that he cased on was very small. that being very hard to do. the landing area was good and it wasnt peaked at all. heck, we didnt even crash. just risk that we took. for me it has been 10yrs moto/dirt with never a more serious injury than a sprained ankle. injuries are part of it. i repeat that village creek is safe. it is more technical than a table top track but that is ok. i like techinical. i prefer it. most of the time the speeds are slower. zero is right about risk assesment. its the responsibility of the rider not to do something they cant do. the dirttrack with no obsticals is called an oval and i see people on the ground all of the time. the jump in question is not difficult to double and those who can go big find it an easy triple. plain and simple.............its my moms fault for coming to see me race hehe.
