Ouch. Looks like a combination of slick rock and not hitting it square so you tire slid out from the rocks angle not allowing the tire to grip. Coming in at lower speed might have helped you navigate the terrain a bit better. Looks like you hit it pretty hard, glad you are okay. I've had two good crashes in the last month that I have no idea how they happened. Both OTB and not off a jump or drop. I think I caught a pedal on a rock sticking up at about 20mph on a downhill for one, but not positive. The other I think I got the front wheel slid in some loose dirt and caught in a hole in a corner, then launching me. But they both happened so fast I cannot say for sure and no witnesses to let me know.

Oh dang! I hope the falls didn't hurt too much. Falling is a bummer but it's part of the sport.

Bummer! Looked like you just got caught between two lines a bit there to me... also looks like that rock was pretty slick!

I think that’s exactly what happened.

You brought a knife to a gun fight. I crashed in a similar spot on my trail bike following a buddy's line who was on a proper dh bike with maxgrip rubber. He rode ot fine, I ate shit. Whistler slabs are slick as hell

I wasn’t aware of Whistler slabs being slick. I was running maxgrip, but my line was just too bad for that rubber to hold. lol
