He looks like he is on tiptoes with that, if he wants a lower seat I have one on mine which may help, as I want a standard on.

Oh dear, oh dear, that's not a happy first outing and he was wearing proper boots too which are normally supportive enough to prevent things like that from happening but just goes to show we're not all infallible. Hope he's back out n about on the lanes when he's recovered. Get well soon

Luckily most badgers only result in embarrasment, really bad luck to hurt himself, even more so on his 1st time out disbelief

Hope he recovers quick, please pass on best wishes.

Commiserations no

How were the breaks caused? Twisted back or bike landing heavily on it?

Can we all learn something from this poor guys misfortune e.g. would he have managed to keep it upright if the DRZ had been lowered before he rode it?

I hope he's back out soon - so unfortunente for an 'off' to actualy result in any injury.

From the looks of the vid I'd say his bike dropped (or veared sidwways) into a muddy ditch or rut. Judging by the speed he was carrying I'd say you either catch it with the steering or the bikes going over. I doubt getting a foot down would have helped with that one.

Not to mention a bit heavy for a first bike (even heavy for a 10th bike they are ) But that's a real shame he sustained such an injury from such an off. Get mended soon.
