Crazy MTB crash and out of place comments: what drives you to comment?

What drives a person to comment without any knowledge of the subject?


Bernardo Cruz, born in 1991, is a Brazilian athlete supported in the past by Red Bull and very active in Freeride and Urban DH races. 5 times national DH champion and 2 times winner of the Urban Taxco (here the video of the 2015 edition).

Cruz was the victim of a serious fall, fortunately without consequences, during a test of the 'Ultimate Urban Enduro' circuit. Here is the video.

As you can see, it arrived long: too much speed on ramp entry compared to landing which, to be precise, is a bit sacrificed in length (short). I say this by seeing the rider behind and also other videos with this ramp where the athletes always reached the edge of the plate. This situation could have been solved with a longer landing but, being a fixed structure, the athletes will have had to touch the brake or 'scrubb' well in order not to get flat during the race.

A similar landing would put any type of material under stress: perhaps it is not evident from the video but it is the same dynamic as throwing yourself dead weight off the roof of a house, with a bike under your butt, and hoping that nothing breaks.

Here are the memorable comments to the video 🙂

Yes, pressure too low, surely with a pressure around 8 bar it would have been saved. And a sausage.
With a calibration around 400psi, and Iron Man's bionic arm, it would have remained standing. But it is said that Bernando Cruz had forgotten the fork pump at home, too bad.
Oh yes, never land with the front wheel first (…) In this case it was enough to land with the rear wheel and then ask for a “Crash Replacement” of the frame in question.
Just buy from Aliexpress Bernardo!
Oh yes, too much vanity leads to this. Blame social media and inflation.
We need to review Bernardo's sponsors, crowdfunding is urgently needed.
Always said that pavé is dangerous! And luckily he was dry, otherwise in addition to breaking there was a crash.
To split in two after a flat landing from 6 meters high, that's really rubbish!

[email protected] I am a fan of everything that has 2 wheels: at a young age I practiced road and track cycling (Italian Allievi champion). At the age of 18 I passed into the cross country competing at national/international level as an Under23. Past Elite, I made the choice to take things more lightly from a training point of view, and my love for gravity disciplines was born, training me as an FCI MTB instructor and guide. Now I have made passion my profession by managing 2 MTB centers on the island of Elba (Bike Center Elba and Elba MTB), creating the FANTAmtb and telling in an ironic but professional way everything that revolves around MTB thanks to 365mountainbike and 365TV (YouTube'PULITI dentro BIKER fuori').
