Ryan Guettler had a crash at Dew Tour
What’s up guys. It’s a few days after Dew tour and I feel like I got hit by a bus… what a big weekend I got there and practice felt so good. I was double flipping and doing my scary tricks and in dirt I qualified 1st into dirt with a big score of 95.25 and pulled a 1080 on dirt which hasn’t been done before.
So in the finals I was feeling good. My first run went well and I was in first so Ii felt like there was no way I was going to lose this comp so I went for a double flip on the first set. But I keep telling myself don’t over rotate it and land on my back but when I took off I knew I had flipped way too slow and it wasn’t going to come around.
Then I woke up on that dumb strecher again but this time I could remember everything that went wrong. The doctors did all the test and all I got was a cut on my head, shoulder, elbow and a bad bruse on my hip. I asked if I could ride my last run and they said no because if I crashed again and hit my head then I could end up in a coma which would of been .00005 percent but you never know and I knew that I wouldn’t have held back if they were going to let me ride.
The more I sat there the worse my headache got so I went back to my hotel and slept it off. Doctor said he wouldn’t like me ride street either because it was the same day as the crash so that was the end of the 07 Dew tour for me, it went quick and a lot of great riding riding went down it was cool to sit back and enjoy street and not stress about who placing were and really cheer people on when they did cool stuff.
My fav was Cranmer he did a front flip whip then fell off the course and smashed a camera man. Scotty was so pumped I laughed so hard. Today I joined the Colony team (my co-sponsor). We’re doing a road trip to Baco jam this week end in FL. We’re riding and shooting photos so I’ll post some soon.
Talk soon
