I feel for you, Yuka. I crashed on 3/26/2022 at SkyPark and broke my neck in two places as well as some ribs and a lot of soft tissue damage. I was also very lucky and didn’t end up paralyzed. But now I have four fused vertebrae holding everything together. Life changing to say the least. I love your channel and am so happy that you’re going to make a full recovery!

I know you will make a full recovery. I'm 65 and my son and I use to go to Whistler a couple times a year. I just slow it down and enjoy the fact that I can still ride and enjoy every day!

Big respect for Eric as well. He knew what to do right away.

He knew right away to call for help, and the correct actions to prevent you from getting more hurt while help was on the way.

Holy shit Yuka, that was absolutely insane. Seeing you overshoot that stepup from Eric his angle looked so scary, can't imagine how he must have felt. Good reminder to never let emotions take over the bike, especially with features where the consequences can be so big! No clue how you managed to stay so calm in such a scary situation but kudos. I think i somehow freaked out more on this side of the screen while hearing the crashing noises then you did after it just happend. Glad you are still (mostly) in one piece and i wish you a full and quick recovery, i'm sure you'll be boaring down mountains again soon enough! Last but not least, so much respect for the rescue team, truly awesome work they do!

Having been through this twice now with Cory, I can definitely feel the intensity of this. Get well soon, Yuka. It'll feel like it takes forever to heal and you'll have moments of some negative intrusive thoughts, but just know that it'll pass. Cory's stuck to the ground for now as well. She hasn't fully recovered from her torn shoulder tendons from last year and she just recently detached her collarbone on that same shoulder. Needless to say, no big jumps or drops for a while. At least she's back to pedaling around on flatter trails. With some aggressive PT, we're hoping she can enjoy a trip to Windrock by February. Best wishes to you two.

New subscriber but this gave me a flashback to two weeks ago where I went over my bars. I'm far too old to be flying headfirst into a patch of stingers at 20mph but I got away with it... again (I crashed heavily in the snow and ice three winters ago and escaped with just a piece of my tongue missing). You're a brave person and so calm at the accident site. But most of all, you're amazing for getting back on the bike.

Regarding glasses, as some one who has horrible eye sight and is completely blind without glasses. This was a huge issue for me, but with the proliferation of goggle inserts such as these ones made by sportrx, this issue has been completely eliminated 6-7 years ago. I know some people might prefer to not wear goggles, but it seems for us the four eye crowd, a pair of goggles with adapters is the best solution for full face helmet use. I use Oakley and Oakley’s own polycarbonate prescriptions lenses for everyday riding with my half face helmets. These solutions also eliminates the small but real danger of regular glasses breaking on crashes and causing secondary damage to our eyes. I hope this is helpful.

Glad you're alright, crashing is the worst, and injury sucks. Anyone with a bad back from an injury knows exactly what I mean. There might not be a worse thing to have wrong with you from a day to day perspective. From someone who had a bad work accident that resulted in a few broken vertebrae, herniated disc, brain injury, and other broken bones... ending in disability. It's what you do after that matters. You'll heal up, learn, and be better than ever once you get past your mental blocks. The crash doesn't define you it''s the finish! It's amazing the feeling of coming back from something like this.. trust me on that!

glad you are ok! hate to say it, but it was coming from far away. don't want to be a dick, but you need to get good coaching lessons, as you lack some basic proper technique to start with. I mean... you can't do a proper bunnyhop + pumping - this basically closes lots of the gates for technical jumps in some spots you weren't able to clear the jumps only because of that. Also, proper technique makes you more comfortable and safe. I need more/less speed can't be an answer for everything. You can clearly see some features here are hard for you even not mentioning they are not that big at all. best wishes to you both and have a speedy recovery :) P.S.: protection can't also be an answer for everything, you will just get to bigger jumps with poor technique and protection might not save you there.

I’m sorry about your accident and wish you a quick and full recovery. I had a bad crash myself 2 months ago and will be off my bike for another 4 months at least. My tailbone hit the ground hard which crushed a few bones including 2 vertebrae. These crashes can leave you paralized, fortunately it looks like I will fully recover. What I take away from this is to wear as much protection as possible and only ride fast and gnarly when body and brain are running at 100% capacity.

Dang. You launched that. I'm glad you're not more broken. That was gnarly. Good thing you weren't riding solo. Good lesson here: ride with a buddy. You're not visible from the trail so that could be way worse. Thanks for breaking this down for us. Good reminders all around.

Wow, I was literally thinking yesterday "huh, I haven't seen Yuka pop up on my videos in a while, I hope she's ok." And then you post this craziness today. Gnarly crash though, I would hate to have 2 butt holes! Insane how calm you were. Hope you heal and get better! The worst thing is not being able to ride when you want to.

I really didn’t want to watch this video I didn’t want to see you get hurt but I appreciate you posting it and with proper context. I think the biggest take away is we shouldn’t allow our emotions to override our judgment but unfortunately it’s something we all deal with it’s what makes us human and capable of making mistakes. I hope you heal well and feel better soon.

Glad to see you were better than expected it was scary to watch and very intense as though I could feel your pain. Hope you are healing quickly and continue to ride safe. And shout out to all the emergency workers for help and quick response.

That was a scary learning experience, I’m so glad you’re okay! I love watching you guys and you are one of my favorite riders to watch. You have inspired me for several years now and I hate to see you hurt, but I’m sure you won’t let this keep you from coming back and conquering that feature when you are well again! 😊😊

Oh Freaking My! Somehow my last comment, also my first, was about the "Emergency Exit" for her Failed Breaks...and then just happened to click on this.... Dang, You were blessed for that helmet!!! I'm happy that you'll soon recover well.

Hi! I am so glad you are okay. Last May I got in a motorcycle crash and was temporarily parylized and needed three surgeries. I had a concussion and internal bleeding with a broken spine, jaw, right elbow and forearm. I now have metal hardware in my spine and my arm. This shows me that extreme mountain biking can still be a big risk. Im not EVER going to go on a motorcycle again and risk being permanently paralyzed. I was one of the lucky ones. It doesnt happen often. I hope you are well and although this comment is kind of late i wish you best of luck. And to be safe as can be. God bless you Yuka!

Your attitude and calm are impressive. Most of us have gone through these and they suck for a long time. Get back too it when you're ready.

All the best for a speedy recovery Yuka 🙏🏽. Broke my wrist last year & will fuse and heal. The human body is an amazing machine. If The Brain and Heart are young healthy and strong like your I have no doubt you will make a full recovery and be back out there soon soon 🥰. All the best from Cape Town
