@buzzman48604 years ago That moment when Dawson asks if his hand looks ok. He knew. 19
@

@karolmotala4 years ago Every time I crash, i take a 5 minutes break and wait for the adrenaline to go down - I have a high pain threshold and it's only then, when I can tell if I am badly hurt or not. Get well Dawson. 14
@

@anthonynicol61634 years ago Really enjoy watching your rides and advice - hope he gets better soon.
@

@Bearded.Wonder4 years ago Love your channel. It sucks for Dawson to have a spill like that and get injured, but thanks for sharing the experience with us. It doesn't always go as planned and then we have to pivot. I'm late to the party here, but hoping Dawson healed up well. ...
@

@cars_and_coffee58954 years ago Man this hits home. I just fractured my foot surfing this week and it will be a boot and cast, and 6-8 weeks before I can put weight on it again. Get well soon Dawson, we'll both be laid up and recovering for a while so we get back to what we love as fast as possible. I guess it's the price we have to pay sometimes for doing what we enjoy most. Sending my best wishes your way! ... 1
@

@SiMPLYHaZZaRD4 years ago That's a real bummer. Heal up soon Dawson! I had a similar wrist injury when I was his age, from football though. No surgery required for me, but it hurt like crazy when they reset the bone in the ER! 2
@

@emm042320054 years ago I hope Dawson is healing well. I can relate to unplanned injuries in the trail, they are always a bummer but he looks like a real trooper for sure.
@

@kevinwilleford78764 years ago Best wishes to you guys. Hope Dawson heals up quick!
@

@mohammednasir49944 years ago You did a great job calming him down. Speedy recovery, Dawson. 👍🏽
@

@phantomrider864 years ago Great video Clint, thank you for sharing! That crash looked pretty violent. Glad Dawson only walked away with a wrist injury, it could have been much worse. Get well Dawson! Looking forward to seeing you back on the bike and shredding again. ...
@

@derekwallace75444 years ago Speedy recovery Dawson! It’s them unexpected no frills crashes that tend to get us!
@

@MikeKoPhotography4 years ago I did the same thing - Late Bunny hop and caught the rear wheel and went OTB. Get well Dawson. 4
@

@cameronlesley24284 years ago I hope he makes a full recovery . Thanks for sharing
@

@adamweb4 years ago Dawson I feel for you man. I've fractured my wrist twice and had surgery the second time. Heal up soon and don't let it drag you down!
@

@blakewilliams82734 years ago Get well soon! This will be just a good laugh after a couple of months!
@

@rockettt74 years ago Aww man - heal up Dawson. As a dad of a 13 yr old starting out riding, I too worry about their youthful exuberance going down the mountains. Nice job, Dad, keeping him calm and in check. Look forward to seeing him on the XC bike!
(and yeah, I love racing up hills as well... something about the young ones just lovin' the DHs - i find the uphills exhilarating) - stay well. ...
@

@dumpsteronwheels88314 years ago Wishing Dawson the best, he’s young and will have a speedy recovery! Long term the surgery may be a good option for his riding longevity!
@

@MrClickclickpow4 years ago Tough luck, feel for you guys, never good feeling seeing your children getting hurt, sending healing vibes
@

@loongmichael73674 years ago Get well soon. Speedy recovery Dawson..
@

@JP-mp5st4 years ago Get well Dawson. I just got out of the cast for the same injury and I recognized the pale look on his face because that’s exactly how I felt. Happened on a nothing crash but I’m 58 so maybe my bones ain’t what they used to be. I got a Mobius X8 wrist brace so he might look into that for when the cast comes off. It does a great job of making my wrist feel stable. ... 1
@

@ashevillescarborough4 years ago Feel better soon Dawson! Great to finally meet you guys- although it wasn’t the ride we planned. We well get another chance one day I’m sure. :) 4
@

@chrisgarland93814 years ago Get well soon Dawson! You’ll be back and better then ever in no time.
@

@lukemilton85104 years ago Glad your okay Dawson. The fact that you’re walking away from that crash is all that matters. Keep your head up buddy. You’re a hell of a rider Dawson. Stay strong buddy.
@

@ron_nor_4 years ago Bummer. Get well soon.
Been there, couldn't belive the wrist was broken, didn't hurt that much. In the end it was broken in three places. X-ray looked really bad. The ER doctors did a lot of tugging and pressing, did hurt like hell but actually saved me from getting surgery. I was 41 at that time. After only 4 weeks I could train already with light weights in the gym. But took me like 4 months till I was able to hold a handle bar without pain. But no problems at all with the wrist ever since. Good look 🤞 ...
@

@stevencole73314 years ago When you go fast you are going to crash and it can be serious . The best thing i have learned is when you are off a bit on your line dont try to recover it but just stop and then continue . I had my worse crash trying to recover a lost line . If I just stopped no hurt no foul . ... 1
@

@newttella10434 years ago Aww. Get well soon Dawson. It happens to best of us. These kind of experiences are part of mountain biking and we just learn to deal with these emergencies.
@

@michiganstate1494 years ago I feel your and his pain. Ripped open my shin (12 stiches) the other day and am off the bike at least 2 weeks...It sucks...Just have to take it a bit easier when I'm back. Get well soon Dawson.
@

@supernovadust10284 years ago Man this always happens when you least expect it. Hope he feels better soon. I had a nasty crash recently but thankfully no bad injuries
@

@BigWaveDaveO4 years ago Nothing like seeing your little buddy hurt riding....Get well soon Dawson and keep sending it.
@

@ronaldtercero70144 years ago Dawson, I hope you have a speedy recovery ..
@

@collinkendall20284 years ago First of many with the way Dawson rides, you said it best Clint, riding with a very low margin of error. GET WELL DAWSON, you'll heal up quick!
@

@mattfdepp14 years ago I just rode that loop w my 7 and 12yo a few days ago.. descent down big rock is awesome. Hope your son heals up fast. My older son broke both bones in the wrist a few years back and it healed up pretty well but he can feel it on rough descents. Ironically he didn't break it riding.. ...
@

@robertmorris45284 years ago One tough guy for sure. Looking forward to seeing him back up and riding
@

@zxtenn4 years ago Hopefully he is ok without surgery, when you're young recovery is so much easier and quicker just give it time. In reality Clint with all those rocks it could have been much worse and its a chance someone takes mountain biking and you did have a talk with him. I fell last Sunday when it was 95 degrees on a local Blue trail and my wrist was a bit sore for a few days, there was a stump sticking up which ended up between the frame as i hit the leaves and dirt so lucky i didnt end up impaled on that stump. I am 65 and take Plavix so i really need to watch serious impacts like falling, hitting rocks, etc. another reason i stay on Green and Blue trails, less rocks and chances of falling especially with the heat, saps my energy quickly when its 95 and high humidity. I consider riding a positive fun hobby to keep me limber, flexible and in better shape than most people my age, be safe. ...
@

@Esteb8584 years ago You’ve got a tough kid there Clint! He was pretty calm for having just fractured his wrist. Get well soon Dawson, you have many more years of air time ahead of you! 🤙🏼
@

@richardhaselwood94784 years ago Get well soon Dawson. Enjoy being able to take those sort of risks while you can.
@

@Pabon19874 years ago Get well Dawson, you will be up and running in no time.
@

@MrJabbadoo4 years ago Had a similar crash and wrist movement last year, felt ok for rest of ride ended up with broken scaphoid. Out for 6 month, hope it heals soon. 3
@

@mitchblanton80854 years ago Dawson, hope you are recovering well. I had a crash on the 401 Trail at Crested Butte fractured the same bone in the same hand three weeks ago. Lost the front tire on a side mountain fast decent (traveling about 18-20 mph). Hand stayed swollen to the point I could not see knuckles from the swelling. FYI: Think about investing in a mouth piece, It's goofy but, has saved me from $$$$$ on dental work.............All the Best, Mitch ...
@

@Skynet_114 years ago It’s the right spirit Clint.
Let Dawson use this negative experience as a positive lesson. Speedy recovery Dawson.
@

@tonymoon20224 years ago Thank God he's ok. He'll probably do it again. Great videos btw.
@

@ctrawick34 years ago Praying for Dawson. I know that our oldest son was a big roadie, and he had a couple of pretty bad pile-up crashes (up front, of course,) and he got busted up pretty good on a few occasions. You definitely hate it for them, but it truly is a life lesson on both being thoughtful about your riding style, conditions, tolerances, etc., plus gaining experience on how to deal with the unexpected things that happen in life. As much as we hate to think about it, "we" won't always be there for them, and we have a responsibility to our kids to teach them how to work through the challenges that arise. ... 6
@

@FATBIKEMIKE4 years ago Same problem when I was his age you’ll be back so fast it’ll make your head spinThey heal so fast at that age 4
@

@justsayin36004 years ago You can have broken bones in the hand and still squeeze. It's the ligaments and muscles that performs the squeeze, not the bones. 2
@

@jimmansi11874 years ago Wow Clint, that could’ve been much worse, he’s young & will heal quickly. Best of luck to him!
@

@petertyliszczak34114 years ago On the first drop down Big Rock, the rock rolls and drops, take it a little slower and slightly more outside so you can go inside the little tree on the right hander. It make the next left 100% easier and you can carry your speed out of it into the open without having to pedal much. ...
@

@JESSEPINKMAN744 years ago That was a heck of a crash. He took it like a champ, good thing he's got such a supportive dad. Get well soon buddy.
@

@MikeR654 years ago That’s a side of mountain biking that needs to be shown. There is a very real risk of being hurt. Hope Dawson is able to get riding again soon. Thanks for sharing that.
@

@mattdickey24544 years ago If they suggest surgery, ask for another doctors opinion. I broke my foot and the doctor said 4 out of 5 would want to do surgery, but he didn't. Healed up fine around 2.5 months. It was metatarsal #4. Hope he heals quickly! ...
@

@jr.angel.5554 years ago That look scary, could have been alot worse, Hope you recover quickly. 3
@

@MTBVirusJohnDavis4 years ago Get well soon Dawson. It happens to all of us.
@

@yungboobie46674 years ago sorry to hear about dawson. btw, give the stuntman chest mount a chance. it has a larger surface area so it won't shake around like the mount you have now
@

@MrRique87204 years ago I've caught a root with my rear tire also trying to bunny hop over it.. hope he heals up soon 🙏
@

@larsoleruben4 years ago Stuff like that happens, just a fact of life, if you actually live it. But that kid is really fond of you. You could see he was shaken, but he said, “sorry dad”. He was sorry for you, not for him self. Amazing.
@

@jeffriley25024 years ago Get well soon! Don't fret, it will heal. I've broke about 15 bones, Motorcycle-street and dirt. Unfortunately to really live there are risk.
@

@leonardoolivar4 years ago You know when the kid feels sorry for changing plans for the rest of the crew instead of being worry for his own wrist. The kid is going to be a pro! 👍🏽

@Lockiel4 years ago Damn that's sucks Feel better Dawson! I've broken my elbow and had to get surgery. He will be shredding the trails in no time!
Edit: Pretty badass you got it on video, now you'll get to look back and laugh for years to come and he can show all his friends how badass he is. ...
@

@MTBTrailRider4 years ago injuries always suck.. comes with the territory unfortunately, but he'll heal up and get back out there.
@

@cup_and_cone4 years ago Brutal. Always seems like the little and awkward crashes that end up biting back. Get well, Dawson.
@

@thegefster19884 years ago Sorry about this! Hate to see it happen for You and especially Dawson. Why I am afraid of speed and air. When I see Seth on his channel and some of his absolutely horrible crashes you wonder how is so resilient and what kind of insurance he has!! ...
@

@jerrymtb9884 years ago Just got ACL reconstruction surgery a week ago. I tore it because somebody accidentally got in my way at a pump track and I had to put my foot down to try and stop so i didn’t just crash into them going really fast. It stinks to get injured on something so stupid and I know how Dawson feels getting injured on something silly like that. I’m out of riding and other sports for about 5-6 months, thank god legos exist to keep me from going insane. Dawson is going to be alright even if he has to get surgery. If I can do it so can he, and he has a quicker recovery after. I’m just glad he didn’t tear his ACL.🤙 ...
@

@gni20024 years ago Feel better Dawson. Trails will always be there, take care of that hand first.
@

@brinleyclement19524 years ago I had the same crash but I didn’t get hurt I hope u heal up well
@

@dannops4 years ago Broke my wrist going downhill too fast while in my twenties. Had to ride all the way home (~ 2 miles) with my arm in a raised position. My wife had just had my daughter and her response when I told her I may have broken it was "no shit it's broken" and a slap to the face. Love that woman :) ...
@

@mikewalker22744 years ago Sorry to hear of his crash. I'm from Gainesville originally and would suggest if the doc you're seeing there is at Shands Ortho/Sports Medicine you look carefully at surgery. Having coached kids Dawson's age in soccer, I was a bit surprised that the ER doc seemed to rule out surgery so quickly, no one wants surgery but with the wrist you want a clean heal, too. Even though I no longer live in Florida I still come back to UF Sports Med for anything serious I need from my own misadventures. I'm not meaning to disrespect or second-guess that ER doctor, but just saying for an athletic teen you may want to consider surgery if possible. ... 1
@

@atticus65724 years ago Get well soon, dude. Off topic for a moment, but Clint, do you got any helmet recommendations for larger heads?
@

@terrymtbnurse47604 years ago Crash happens, you handled it like a pro and made a very mature decision with not getting back on your bike. Heal well Dawson. ride fast, be safe.
@

@50mtb444 years ago Watching your son crash is heartwrenching. You feel helpless. Ten days ago my 14 year old boy went off a jump in a bike park, flew up, OTB, and crashed hard on his knees. One knee skin ripped open and off. One knee bone fracture. One wrist spranged (might be bone fracture) and is in a cast. Think he will avoid surgery. Glad he was wearing knee pads and helmet. Tough day. I understand your pain. ...
