Accidentally left a photo out of the last post its of the aftermath of hugo crashing at cwmcarn. It was the end of the day and we were just going back when hugo said he wanted a photo of a jump he was doing in the day. I advised him it was a bad idea and to end the day on a high because its always bad news to try something one last time before you go etc so we walked up a bit and I only had my 10 year photo camera so I was going to shoot a quick shot on it. Anyway he walked on up further to get more speed and I positioned my self a waited a bit and then I heard he coming so o got ready and waited to see him appear in the veiwfinder, however I heard a big crashing sound and he had crashed out on a 30ft table before which he was hitting as fast as possible roughly 35mph he had clipped a pedal going up the lip which sent him of it sideways and front heavy and the force of the crash was so harsh that it catapulted him across the jump and he ended up tumbling down another 8ft till he stopped in a heap. Luckily he was alright a little concussed and cut up and he hurt his private parts pretty bad somehow. It was a pretty spectacular. This image shows the damage to his helmet and hugo recovering from the crash.
