Did you have the visor open to start with or did it some how get opened during the incident?

Lucky as has been said you didn't get KO but practice makes perfect :)

@ElroyHarvey The visor was open to start with :)

scoppit nice loops =] ballsy fuck hehehe

question man where did you hit your face? and how did it happen? cheer keep up the cool flying

[scoppit]

The bottombar hit me over the nose and the eye. I think I got a small cut over the eye and my nose was of course bleeding. It happened because I pulled up to hard for the loops. Gotta be very gentle on the moves.... Fly hard! =P

So glad you did not get knocked unconsious.Now that would be bad.Reminds me of the first double jump i did on my dirtbike, only i split my chin, and pulled it off to the cheers of my buddies.Fly safe brother.

Wow, That looked really awesome and I was wondering where the "bad loop" was exactly.....until I saw your face that is. That last loop was kinda messy so I guess it was there that you mashed your face. I could say practice makes perfect too, but lets face it, you're already pretty damn good.

@glendeco search "paducah skatepark" my flip video is in there titled.."paducah local flippin in iraq" or somethin like that

[bmx69bmx1]

@glendeco Lol....i stalked your mom until she started giving it up to full time....I will be going to HG school in draper very soon....maybe i will see ya there and we will see who the "little feller" is......I just think it's funny when people make claims about doing rad shit with no proof.....surely you meant just a double jump as in going over a double with no tabletop in the middle....i grew up on dirtbikes and bmx...still ride bmx alot.....i have a video of me doing a flip on bmx in iraq

Little feller? LOL.....I'm 6'3" 220 lbs at 4% bodyfat.......I watched your HG videos...your the little fella compared to me.---Retired Army Combat Veteran.......several skydives under my belt....pretty sure HG isn't gonna scare me......
