He looks comfy enough on that e-bike!
Good to hear he's working on fitness and core strength, lots of parents don't consider it with any sport but it makes a big difference.
Remember to feed him up though!

He eats about 20,000 cals per day and looks like a stick insect. I think he'd fall down a drain if he mis-timed it.... I'm exceptionally jealous.

Not so good ...
I'm not enough enough to understand what went wrong (other than the landing)
But in good old cycling fashion - is the bike okay?

Broken clavicle
Poor chap.
Looking at the landing area I imagine he's not the first or last. That edge needs blending.
The plural of 'anecdote' is not 'data'.

But out of A&E?
Which is good
And presumably a supply of pain killers?

That's the 2nd jump, he was trying to double gap it

Ooof, that's one hell of a crash.
I hope he heals quickly.

Yoof attempting something that few others have cleared. He's not lacking in cajones, thats for sure.
He's only a little bit short, the front wheel skims the lip, the rear cases and fires him out the front door, another foot of flight and he'd have cleared it.
Next time....

Yeowchy
Didn’t enjoy watching that
Tough lad that’s for sure
GWS JW.
He’s fit and young and healthy so fingers crossed for a speedy recovery.
Matt Hayman won Paris-Roubaix after his broken bone enforced trainer season so maybe he can get on for some Zwift soon?

Bloody hell. Awesome that it's just the clavicle. Downside I guess is that cycling carries on through winter so he'll be peeved to miss more. But at least this time is was a cycling and full on incident, not tripping over at school!!
Shame about the bike
Hope he heals super fast - and is still happy when he gets back on two wheels xxxx
Life is for living. Buy the shoes. Eat the cake. Ride the bikes. Just, ride the bikes!!
