Natural correction. Darwinism at its best.
If animals can do it, so can humans.

At least he died doing something he enjoyed. I know of a lot of people
who've died going to work, crossing the road etc. It is a shame, but i
cant say i'd have been any different at that age - its part of growing
up, some dont make it, been like that since the beginning of time. -
Unfortunately we are the first of the species to try to 'correct' this
natural progression method and try to protect them. Its entirely human,
but not great for evolution. -

Sad, but has absolutely nothing to do with mountain biking.

Sad. I would have been doing the same things too at that age.
I can't imagine what the parents must be going through.Matt

any sorry excuse for a human can make it to breeding age and find
someone dumb enough to breed with them.Yes, even me. 🙂

Looks like its spread to the UK too 🙂 Count me in 🙂

I agree, but a certain city council member whispered to me that because he
was on a mountain bike (we know them as a dirt jumper) the city plans to
review the many "unlabeled" trails in the jurisdiction. That means, trails
are gonna start drying up around here pretty fast.Again, nothing to do with the kind of biking most people do here at MTB, but
that never matters when some kid cracks his skull. -

If the over reaction and conclusion to this is story is the flattening out
the jumps, perhaps they should dump the soil in the middle of a road where a
kids been knocked of his bike and killed by a motorist!Pip

I was doing stuff like that when I was 11. I _don't_ remember speeding
down a slope and jumping a stream that was 6' wide. The bank that I left
was 4' higher than the landing side. I endoed, buckled the frame, and
knocked myself and some pieces of teeth out. And then promptly tried it
again a few minutes later - I blame the concussion.

It's something that kids everywhere will try. Unfortunately, sometimes,
someone gets hurt.
