ok here is the story. my freind that i ride with every day built a ramp and he is a great rider and its almost as if he had been jumping them his hole lifehe hit it over and over nothing went wrong and he started to bust tricks and he was saying how great the ramp was, so i asked him if i could hit it he said if i thought i was ready to follow him and just do what he did.
the run up was short (about 80ft) and the gap was 75ft. we both left the burm at about the same rate of speed and he was in 2nd gear and i was in 2nd gear. he had a rock placed at a certan point on the ground near the ramp were you pinned it from there.
i pinned it but something happened i must have done it an instant to late or not hard enough or something cause right when i left eh ramp he was like 6 feet higher than me and he was only about 10ft in front of me
i freaked out pined the throtle as just a reaction to panic and brased for impact
i came up way short and my bike stuck in the landing mound and my right wrist was snapped.
could some one plese tell me what the hell happened?
did i do something wrong?

1- You should not hit a ramp at that distance for the first time.
2- You probably did a racer thing and soaked up the hit.

Hope your wrist heals fast.
