Absolutely amazed (and relieved) you are good - clearly made of strong stuff! keep pushing, keep believing, we are all with You, Jenna and the Pivot team!
Good to see you recovering BK, any prototype has issues to overcome and you’re the test pilot with all the risks that comes with it so credit to you mate. Am sure this will result in a better bike out of all this 👍
So pleased to see your OK BK! Really appreciate seeing the update at the beginning and the practice runs leading up to the final. Look after yourself mate.
Holy shit man, if you two keep this up Lada's gonna be driving you around to events. Glad you are okay, looked like the hand dived into the rotor as well, scary stuff.
BK only knows one way! The EPIC Way! Riding smooth or taking a HUGIE! Love to see you walking away with just bumps and bruises! Prayers for a speedy recover Bro!
Sorry I'm late to wish you the best bro, hope you're good. You are a beast! You're the only mtb'er the Mrs will watch with me, think you motivate her to want to ride more. Love you man 🤘🏼🤘🏼
Glad to hear you're still in one piece BK, its been an anxious wait. Looks as if you thankfully parted the bike's company relatively early in the crash rather than get tangled up in it. All the best, will be cheering you on at Fort Bilious
Will be interesting to see if we can see any footage of the frame after. I can't see how the bonding could or would let go, it's been used for decades now, high end cars have been held together with it for decades and the aerospace industry uses it. Anyway hopefully something will show the frame
I think the impact with a pine tree in practice which brought the bike to a complete stop minus Bernard, had a big part in the final failure in the final.
Glad to see you are okay BK. That looked a gnarly slam! Wouldn't be surprised to hear thar your bike had variable head angle on that run. Looking forward to the rest of the season.
Can not believe how little damage you took from what looked like a sickening crash. Thankfull you made it out of that still in one piece. Fair play mate.
Glad this won't cost you any of the season. You're made of stone, looked like a heavy crash and I'm still remembering that huge one from hardline 2022 where your wheel exploded and you walked away.
it seemed like from the live timing that he was struggling for pace. was the bike not handling right from the startgate? or had the track just disintegrated as the day went on?
I wonder if that off at 10 mins in weakened something there? Glad to see you're ok though, I've had a few offs like that and they always look gnarly af!
Shiz brother! That was a full press slam! I just started to ride with clip ins and managed to destroy my leg by just falling over on gravel at SLOW speed! LOL! Mend well and steel us a podium or two this year!
Good on yer, fella, so pleased you're OK. such a gnarly crash! As an engineer (when i could retain information) I'd be interested to know what actually broke and the process of how it might have happened!! Looked like the carbon/Aliminium joint became un-glued/de-bonded, but that's only from YT videos 😜
Bk, that crash was one of the worse crashes i've ever seen, you can't train or predict that saught of crash. As all fans worried it doesn't affect your confidence. This season you were looking in best shape ever. Pivot is the coolest team ever, it's professional but has that flavour of the begginings of mtb, best luck to all the team
Hey Bernard glad your safe Been waiting for this video I work with bonding Ali to plastics I know your bike is carbon But when you hit the tree in practice it sounds like the bonding agent cracks away probably from the Ali I mean I could be wrong but it is very similar to what we have had in the past we really have to put a deep key on our Ali and use an etch primer Just glad your safe hope you both heal up quickly
Glad you are ok! Nasty crash. But Bernard, please, it would be very interresting and honest (from pivot) when you could tell what the failure on the frame exactly was. Please ask pivot if you are allowed to tell us the reason. There is nothing bad when a DH Prototype frame with so many hours of WC level and Hardline race runs, training runs, jumps and crashes at some point breaks. Yes, its not good when that happens on TV. But not telling why it happend might be even worse! You took that slam like a champ, now pivot has to take it like a champ too. Thanks.
Had a knot in my stomach at the end there when you knew that bike wasn't holding all the way down. Any brand can have a mechanical so even though it looks dramatic it's part of the game when you're pushing it. Just good to see Bernard holding up because that's what matters.
@@glaabaglooba From my impression so far I believe there was no structural damage(as in no tubes that snapped/cracked), but rather the glue that bonds the tubes together that must've failed. I don't know 100%, so that's at least what it looks like may have happened. A mechanical is just an expression of anything that fails with your bike, and that is what happened. You got to understand that this frame is a tube in tube construction so you cannot compare it directly to a normal solid frame because if this was a solid frame then of course the frame would have snapped if the bike all of a sudden were in 2 pieces. That said these bikes are prototypes so personally I understand that this is just part of the game when you develop new things. It's sad that it happens, but it is also part of it and can happen to any other brand developing something new.
Glad you good BK!!! That crash was insane!!!
This is why I love this channel. All the vibes, good and bad. Real life .... reeeeeeeal bad man.
Our favourite crippled couple.
lol
Mean
rude af lmao
buuut, he ain't crippled
Don’t tell me they are dating he’s like 13 years older than her
I wonder if the crash into the tree in practice played a part in loosening that tube before the big case. Glad you're okay!
I was wondering the exact same. Great minds and all that. 🤣
My thoughts as well. It was a sudden impact and he mentioned at the time about the compression on the bike.
Absolutely amazed (and relieved) you are good - clearly made of strong stuff! keep pushing, keep believing, we are all with You, Jenna and the Pivot team!
Good to see you recovering BK, any prototype has issues to overcome and you’re the test pilot with all the risks that comes with it so credit to you mate. Am sure this will result in a better bike out of all this 👍
Great job BK, stay healthy need you in the Top 5 this season with at least 1️⃣ 🥇
So pleased to see your OK BK! Really appreciate seeing the update at the beginning and the practice runs leading up to the final. Look after yourself mate.
Well done! wish you DH Champion!
So, glade you are ok. I like many others have been scanning all media trying to get an update to make sure you were good. Rest well.
Holy shit man, if you two keep this up Lada's gonna be driving you around to events.
Glad you are okay, looked like the hand dived into the rotor as well, scary stuff.
That was a proper slam , glad your good buddy 👊🫡🇬🇧
BK only knows one way! The EPIC Way! Riding smooth or taking a HUGIE!
Love to see you walking away with just bumps and bruises!
Prayers for a speedy recover Bro!
Sorry I'm late to wish you the best bro, hope you're good. You are a beast! You're the only mtb'er the Mrs will watch with me, think you motivate her to want to ride more. Love you man 🤘🏼🤘🏼
So glad to see and hear you are ok. Gutted for you both this weekend, onwards and upwards. Good luck for the upcoming and coming DH season.
Your passion brings me back to riding ❤
Glad to see you’re good and will still be racing DH this year🔥
glad your ok BK
Great to see you smiling and advising on status. Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing your LSD.
No one will admit it but 24:23 is what we’re all here for. Brutal BK but all part of the game and the excitement for us couch viewers. Glad you’re ok.
No one obliterates bikes harder than BK. Glad to hear your ok. Cheers!
Glad you’re okay dude, you went for the triple and then bam! Heal fast and your off the bike vids are so full of stoke anyway we will be watching. 🤘
You’re a different breed my guy…BK SPORT!! #legend
Sooooooo glad you're ok. it looked super-scary on the TV. Looking forward to seeing you on your new bike👏🙌
Dude that crash is hurting in my head until now, you are made of steel, very happy you are OK. ✌🏻🤙🏼🤟🏻
Glad to hear you're still in one piece BK, its been an anxious wait. Looks as if you thankfully parted the bike's company relatively early in the crash rather than get tangled up in it. All the best, will be cheering you on at Fort Bilious
I'm glad to hear you're ok. This is the year in which you get the well-deserved World Cup victory!
Great to hear that you are ok, I hope this doesn’t put you off coming back to NZ, love the videos, they re always great value
Soo great to hear your positive health words. Wish you the best for season coming up ;)
Man that bonding let go soo hard🫣. Iron man Bernard took it like a champ 💪🏻
Will be interesting to see if we can see any footage of the frame after. I can't see how the bonding could or would let go, it's been used for decades now, high end cars have been held together with it for decades and the aerospace industry uses it.
Anyway hopefully something will show the frame

@@superchickensoup Pivot has explained what happend. glue/epoxy didnt adhere to the Alloy correctly they believe.
Glad to see your ok, hopefully the rest of the team does well over the weekend! Looking forward to heading up tomorrow night.
Massive smash Bernard so happy you survived ,
Your bike construction reminds me of an old Gt sts lobo dh from the 90’s
Just glad to see you are ok after that crash. Hope you're back to 100% soon.
Would love to know what happened to the sound during the race run @ 22:40.Just a glitch? Bikes break at the sharp end, but really glad you are ok, 😉
Tough luck Bernard but the good thing is your ok and will race another day. Looking forwards to more LSD's.
Glad to see you are okay BK. That looked a gnarly slam! Wouldn't be surprised to hear thar your bike had variable head angle on that run. Looking forward to the rest of the season.
Great that you are fine BK. All the energy for the rest of the season.
Kerr is a great professional and DH ambassador. Good luck for 2024
Man of steel! Good luck for Fort Willim!
Stoked to hear you are all good and are getting things sorted out! Just a slight setback, no worries.
You're the man, Nardline. Big love, see you at Fort William.
Glad you’re ok BK. Get well brother!
Scary stuff! Glad it's not too serious. Concussion is no joke though. Heal fast dude 👊🏻🔥
Damn bro! I would have to think that little off into the tree must have compromised the frame. Glad you are good! See you soon.
Can not believe how little damage you took from what looked like a sickening crash.
Thankfull you made it out of that still in one piece.
Fair play mate.
Mad props for putting everything in from the run. The crash looked brutal. Glad no broken bones as well.
Glad this won't cost you any of the season. You're made of stone, looked like a heavy crash and I'm still remembering that huge one from hardline 2022 where your wheel exploded and you walked away.
it seemed like from the live timing that he was struggling for pace. was the bike not handling right from the startgate? or had the track just disintegrated as the day went on?
Damn BK, ya scared the crap out of me there. Next time you'll have it. Im glad your good. Cheers
BK!! happy that you were able to walk away from that crash without being seriously injured.
glad you are alright bk. stayed up all night to watch the live. hope you get back on the steed soon brother!
Glad to see you are good man! Watching that live was absolutely brutal! Keep your head up brotha!
Glad you're okay BK. That was wild, and as crashes go, it was DOPE!
That was worse on board than it was live. HECTIC 😵😵😵💫😵💫 You were on one for sure. Glad your good.
I wonder if that off at 10 mins in weakened something there?
Glad to see you're ok though, I've had a few offs like that and they always look gnarly af!
Glad you are OK BK! Keep the work! Cheers
Awesome to see you're all ok Bernard 👍
Glad you're all good, that crash was gnarly.
Awesome to hear you're ok BK!
❤❤❤ sound. Glad you're well.
Main thing is your okay Bernard, that was some hard impact, bike can be replaced, the rider can’t!
Very glad you’re OK, BK! That was a nasty one. Gutted for Jenna, too: NWB (6 weeks?) she’ll be a while. Shame, she was going really well. 😢
nice to see you're doing well!!
Glad youre ok BK, youre a warrior mate !
GLAD YOU'RE GOOD BUDDY!
Shiz brother! That was a full press slam! I just started to ride with clip ins and managed to destroy my leg by just falling over on gravel at SLOW speed! LOL!
Mend well and steel us a podium or two this year!
Scary one, glad you are all good!
sacrée chute heureux de voir que tu vas bien !! tu es un miraculé
Healing vibes bro 👊🏼🔥🙏🏼
Yess! glad you are ok man!
Glad you're okay man!
BK Ooof! good to see you back on your feet.
Good on yer, fella, so pleased you're OK. such a gnarly crash! As an engineer (when i could retain information) I'd be interested to know what actually broke and the process of how it might have happened!! Looked like the carbon/Aliminium joint became un-glued/de-bonded, but that's only from YT videos 😜
Happy to see that you are ok.
You took it like the champ you are! 💪🙌
Glad to know you're all good!
Bit of foreshadowing at 19:02. Glad you made it out in one piece mate!
So true
Bro 11:00 0_0 Thats crazy. basically ran the front end into a tree. shiiit
glad to see you're all good BK that was a HUUUUUUGGEEEYYY
Bk, that crash was one of the worse crashes i've ever seen, you can't train or predict that saught of crash.
As all fans worried it doesn't affect your confidence.
This season you were looking in best shape ever.
Pivot is the coolest team ever, it's professional but has that flavour of the begginings of mtb, best luck to all the team
That was a Hugey . Glad you're ok all thing's considered.
Hey BK, so pleased that are are not hurt by the frame failure.
Would not be at all surprised if now use 7075 Al tubes like Atherton bikes since would be cheaper and stronger?
After seeing that i'm just glad you are ok!? the bike can be rebuilt even better made thing is you walked away to carry on again!
nutty crash m8, glad your good, hope they get that fixed what ever was the issue with the bike in the end. much love from Canada
Hey Bernard glad your safe
Been waiting for this video I work with bonding Ali to plastics I know your bike is carbon
But when you hit the tree in practice it sounds like the bonding agent cracks away probably from the Ali I mean I could be wrong but it is very similar to what we have had in the past we really have to put a deep key on our Ali and use an etch primer
Just glad your safe hope you both heal up quickly
great to see pivot know what to do
That looked so heavy hope your feeling better mate.
Glad to see that you are not badly injured, looked such a knarley crash, could have been damaged when you hit the tree in practice.
Glad you are ok! Nasty crash. But Bernard, please, it would be very interresting and honest (from pivot) when you could tell what the failure on the frame exactly was. Please ask pivot if you are allowed to tell us the reason.

You took that slam like a champ, now pivot has to take it like a champ too.
Thanks.
Good to see you're ok ✌🏼
Good to hear you are all fine. that was a brutal crash!
Lucky BK! Didn’t know Titan made bikes
Had a knot in my stomach at the end there when you knew that bike wasn't holding all the way down.
Any brand can have a mechanical so even though it looks dramatic it's part of the game when you're pushing it. Just good to see Bernard holding up because that's what matters.
Mechanical sounds like an understatement in this case... More like structural
@@glaabaglooba From my impression so far I believe there was no structural damage(as in no tubes that snapped/cracked), but rather the glue that bonds the tubes together that must've failed. I don't know 100%, so that's at least what it looks like may have happened.

Yeah i know i know. Just that im everyday lingo mechanical to me sounds like not a total instant catastrophic failure... but tomato tomahto i guess :)
yeahhhh boy! you back
That was a huuugggeeee, good to see no major injuries. Could that head on with the tree in practice weakened things?
Lada's not gonna be happy when he finds out. 😎 Glad you ok bud🤟
Glad you‘re ok Bk. Stay healty Bro.
glad you are safe mate. the crash looked AWFUL.
You know how to ride when it's greasy! A week of aches to come. Rest up well!
😢glad to see you get up from that crazy high speed crash.
