Tyler: What was your worst crash? Ian: I think the most painful was breaking my collarbone, but it was lame so I’ll skip that. The next fun one was my at elementary school, they had taken out a fence and left open a jump from the playground to the parking lot that I had been eyeing for years. I’d still probably not send this jump currently, but at the time, I knew I’d only get this chance during the construction that summer.

My bike slammed down and bounced, I got thrown, and I looked up to see my bike 8 to 10 feet in the air somersaulting away from me. Spot your landings!
