Brendan Fairclough went over the handlebars while practicing a fifty-foot gap before the Red Bull Rampage. It definitely wasn't the kind of "over the handlebars" experience most of us have been through—he only missed the landing by a few unfortunate inches and judging by the terrain he's lucky he wasn't more hurt.
On the day of his accident, he wrote on his Instagram, “Jumped 49 of 50 feet yesterday and it sucked! Rampage is no joke, not looking good for today’s final. Both thumbs and elbow are banged up, X-ray after finals. Sorry to let you guys down, I'll be back!!”
The footage of the crash is nothing less than insane.
