Yeah I'm still in my head, someone messaged me the day after telling me he broke his back on the same jump the day before. Please pray for Cain he's still in the hospital 🙏🙏🙏
I'm glad you are alright Tommy. That prayer saved your day; it could have been worse. That is a jump that I highly respect at Area 51. It is a fun trail very well built by MTB Alliance. They make smooth jumps. I consider it the next best thing after Summit at Big Bear. I would like to make an observation bro, if you don't mind. You might already know that Chris can jump gaps at a lot slower speed than most people since he has incredible skills. My oservation is that both times, 2 years ago and now, you crashed following him. It seems to me that you have to pop or "pull" harder to clear the gaps when you follow Chris. If you take your ebike, you can go to the top of the trail which is a lot of fun too. MTB Alliance worked on it as well. It has a jump that takes you flying over a blue Volks Waggon Bug that crashed there years ago. It also has some fun rock gardens combined with flowy trails. Anyway, I know the traffic is terrible for you to go there. All of the best Tommy. Hope your chin and shoulder heal soon.
Thanks brotha 🙏🙏🙏 I am very grateful I wasn't seriously hurt, as you probably know Cain broke his back and 5 ribs at Area 51 the day before I went. Yes I agree, Chris tends to pop off lips to clear jumps, since I don't pop as much I need to carry more speed.
Daaaamn! Just got back from hitting this trail. Glad I didn’t watch this first, I woulda been alllll sketched out! You hit the big dawg gaps, I stick to the medium sized, safe ones. lol Sick riding.
Sorry to see the crash. I almost tagged a tree today on a section I just rebuilt on another trail. Can’t believe you were still hitting the jumps after the crash. I have stayed away from Area 51 as it’s a bit nutty.
To be honest it's about having fun. I rather be out there enjoying myself then be one of those strava guys trying to beat everyone times and get pissed when they can't. Just have fun brotha that's what it's about 👊
Dang dude, I hate that feeling after a crash. It messes with you the rest of the day. Have always been scared of that place. Any day you can go back home after a ride is a good day. 👍
Yeah it was a miracle I didn't break anything. Someone messaged me that night letting me know he broke his back and 5 ribs on the same jump that I had my first crash so that definitely put things into perspective for me 🙏
Two good wrecks man hope you’re ok. I think you and me might be tied for crashes 😂😂 My last one last day of dh season ended up breaking my wrist and collar bone casing a 45’ gap jump. Needed surgery on both i was just 100% cleared last month 😎 ride safe man.
@clarencehowell1986 thanks brotha 🙏 I've done the Canyon Gap when it was wood which was way more gnarly and bigger. I know I can do it now but that day was not the day. I was pretty beat up
These are serious jumps- Props to you guys- very fun area to ride. Great footage too-really cool to see different perspectives. BTW-IS that a Heckler SL in the vid? If so.. Damnnnn-extra impressive your guy is hitting those monster gaps on that..
Great work bro ! I just picked up a Santa Cruz after not riding for a good 13-14 years after a terrible crash in downhill . So, I know your feelings . Remember, no rush and listen to your body 😂
If you aren't crashing your not progressing 😮 Glad to see you reeled it in and concluded that you were not quite ready for the last gap.Ride today to ride tomorrow.Peace and stay safe guys 🙏
Yes 💯 I didn't feel pressured, I actually hit the canyon gap a few times when hit was wood which was bigger and gnarliee. I knew I could come back to hit it when I'm 💯
I on pedal days I weat TLD Stage. It's great for climbing breathes really well and it's light. On shuttle days I wear Bell Sperical 10. It had way more protection but is heavier
The mini drop after the ski jump is unfortunate. I'm assuming it was a necessary feature to do drainage considering you don't want ruts on the the landing there. But... Yeah basically was what was gonna happen before it happened. Makes those cases that you can rodeo out of suddenly a major hazard. It's like a squirrel catcher AFTER the feature instead of before.
Yeah I personally wished that step down wasn't there. I think the issue was that step down was there years ago they recently just added that big booter so I think that's why it doesn't necessarily flow together
Yeah it did but I didn't go hospital and waited to long for the butterfly tape so I just filled it in with liquid skin. It's not ideal but it's kinda working
My favorite part lately is the open prayer. We need this. Thanks for leading the way 🙏🏻
The open prayer is good. It just doesn't match at all their common language in the video. Two opposing values.
I am always happy when its caught on my camera 🙏
Mad respect to hit anything after that nose case. I would have been spooked for the next week after that one.
Yeah I'm still in my head, someone messaged me the day after telling me he broke his back on the same jump the day before. Please pray for Cain he's still in the hospital 🙏🙏🙏

Sick riding.
Yeah this place is so dope, everything got bigger since the last time I rode here 💪💪💪
Even with a busted shin/shoulder u pushed onward like a true wreckless rider 💯🔥💯
🤣 I did and the next day I passed out at the gym 🤣 it was a rough week
tommy your videos are always entertaining as hell! hope youre not hurt after that crash, aera 51 looks super sketchy
Thanks brotha 👊👊👊 I'm sore but back on the bike 💪
Nice souvenir Tommy. Glad the bike and you are still relatively good. It’s never the air time that gets you, it’s always the landing.
💯🤕
Sorry to see the crash. I almost tagged a tree today on a section I just rebuilt on another trail. Can’t believe you were still hitting the jumps after the crash. I have stayed away from Area 51 as it’s a bit nutty.
Yeah I definitely lost confidence, so I just decided to skip the Canyon gap and the 40 foot gap 😬
@@TommyHuynh Definitely not worth the risk. Those are features you want to go into at 100%.
glad u came out uninjured man! that first crash was gnar lol
I wouldn't say I got out uninjured I got pretty fucked up but definitely lucky it wasn't worse
Bro, you guys are nuts. I wish I had half the courage you guys have.
To be honest it's about having fun. I rather be out there enjoying myself then be one of those strava guys trying to beat everyone times and get pissed when they can't. Just have fun brotha that's what it's about 👊
Dang dude, I hate that feeling after a crash. It messes with you the rest of the day. Have always been scared of that place. Any day you can go back home after a ride is a good day. 👍
Yeah I definitely lost my confidence. Better to get home safe than to try something half assed 👊
Hells yeah Tommy, I’ll do the moon booter now, got me stoked
👊👊👊
Dude, scary crash at speed! Glad you're alright
Yeah it was a miracle I didn't break anything. Someone messaged me that night letting me know he broke his back and 5 ribs on the same jump that I had my first crash so that definitely put things into perspective for me 🙏
Nice runs, big hits!!
👊👊👊
Sway and the Crews digging lately is no joke huh? Glad you are ok bro. So glad you fell on the landing and not that pile of rocks on the left.
Amazing video... GREAT JOB controlling the fear 😱 hope you heal up fast🤘😆🤘
Thanks brotha I'm still sore AF but I'm grateful nothing broken
Sean is the best coach/trail guide!! He guided me over the canyon gap jump blind! 🤘🏻 nice video!!
Yes he is 💯💪💪💪
Two good wrecks man hope you’re ok. I think you and me might be tied for crashes 😂😂
My last one last day of dh season ended up breaking my wrist and collar bone casing a 45’ gap jump. Needed surgery on both i was just 100% cleared last month 😎 ride safe man.
Damn sorry to hear. Hope you heal up quickly 🙏🙏🙏
one of my fav places to ride ! Glad you’re ok 👌
👊👊👊
Dude that place is scary but looks sick.
Yeah they built the jumps up big 💪💪💪
I ain’t doing nothing that me and my boys have to pray first 😂. Love it, thanks for the videos
I pray before every ride 🙏🙏🙏
I know brotha . Your a beast. Way to get up after that. No shame in not jumping the Grand Canyon
@clarencehowell1986 thanks brotha 🙏 I've done the Canyon Gap when it was wood which was way more gnarly and bigger. I know I can do it now but that day was not the day. I was pretty beat up
Impressive that you got up from both crashes and kept going. Super amazing riding from the crew. Thanks!
Trust me once the adrenaline wore off I was in a ton of pain 🤕
Zzzaaammmnnnn bro that was gnarly 😮 glad y’all good 🤙🏽 good chit guys. Lovin those tire combo coach is rockin, love those tires 🤌🏽🤌🏽🔥
Thanks brotha 👊
Plus for the injury equity. Ride safe be well.👍
🙏🙏🙏
Great video! Good work man
Thanks brotha 👊 👊👊
💥Hope you heal up quick Tommy!!🙏 Great video Dude!💥
Thanks brotha 🙏 I am very lucky I walked away with nothing broken
NICE WORK!! Always pushing the limits lol
🤣 I try 👊👊👊

👊👊👊
Keep sending it tommy. Good shit
Thanks brotha 👊👊👊
Omg the Wreckless Riders sticker on the "tree of tragedy" cracked me up.😂😂😂
Man, did the same thing 3 weeks ago. You go straight but you have to aim to the left of the takeoff. Sucks, high speed section
Yo Tommy. What kind of frame is Chris building?
The new GT Fury DH
Great work bro ! I just picked up a Santa Cruz after not riding for a good 13-14 years after a terrible crash in downhill . So, I know your feelings . Remember, no rush and listen to your body 😂
💯👊
Well done tommy think i wd have gone home after the 2nd crash
Yeah adrenaline was kicking so helped with the pain but I definitely felt the pain later
big boy stuff.. heal up soon Tommy.
Thanks brotha 🙏🙏🙏
If I had a dollar for every Tommy "Oh shit!". haha... Charging as always dude.
🤣🤣 yeah dude I always try 👊
@@TommyHuynh You end up gluing that wound?
@_Jake.From.Statefarm_ it was too late to glue so I just put liquid skin on it
If you aren't crashing your not progressing 😮 Glad to see you reeled it in and concluded that you were not quite ready for the last gap.Ride today to ride tomorrow.Peace and stay safe guys 🙏
Yes 💯 I didn't feel pressured, I actually hit the canyon gap a few times when hit was wood which was bigger and gnarliee. I knew I could come back to hit it when I'm 💯
Tommy what helmet do you use and how is it for climbing?
I on pedal days I weat TLD Stage. It's great for climbing breathes really well and it's light. On shuttle days I wear Bell Sperical 10. It had way more protection but is heavier
Your first crash made me jump out of my chair!!
Yeah it did the same to me 🤣🤣🤣
I can feel that nervousness right here, thats a huge gap tho

Did you case your front wheel? Oh shit!
That first crash yes 😬
Hard crash and tough jumps Tommy. Did that need stitches? Sick riding!
Dude I can’t watch that
That’s bad luck !
Yeah it sucks but I actually think I was really lucky I didn't get more jacked up 🙏
Now, you’re a certified tree hugger! 😂
🤣💯
sick!
👊👊👊
thicccc jumpz
💪💪💪
Daredevil🤘
👊👊👊
Tommy you are a freaking wrecking ball dude haha
I was that day for sure 🤕
Shin guards would have been a good idea. Why not?
It's uncomfortable, crashing is part of riding you can't cover up every part of the body
Not every part just shins. 😁 In motorcycling there is a saying "Better sweat than bleed. 😜
Dude. Getting old keep forgetting the trail. 😂
🤣 yes 💯
Crashing = Progressing is dumb person logic. Stay safe.
Wearing a mask while driving by yourself is pretty stupid too. Stay extra safe
@@TommyHuynh somebody got their snowflake panties is a twist. 😂 go cry about homeless people breaking into your business.
@@TommyHuynh Looks like someone got their snowflake panties in twist. Go cry about homelessness people breaking into your restaurant.
😂, you keep deleting my reply!
I think that needs stitches lol
Yeah it did but I didn't go hospital and waited to long for the butterfly tape so I just filled it in with liquid skin. It's not ideal but it's kinda working
LOL, You have a bad crash every ride. Seems to be a pattern. 🤣😆🤣
Seems like you piss your bed every night. Seems to be a pattern
