For those that don’t keep up with the downhill scene, Josh Bryceland has been on an absolutely tear this season. Having earned the overall, expectations where high for the Rat coming into World Champs, and his warp speed race run was on pace to be the fastest of the day when mis fortune struck.

Boosting the last man made obstacle on the course, he over cleared to flat and ended up severely fracturing his ankle. Unable to pedal, he was forced to cruise through the gates and settle for second place – 0.4 second back on the day.

See additional footage after the break…

We’re absolutely gutted for Josh and wish him a speedy recovery.

Det gjorde nok litt vondt ja. Bloody impressive to avoid crash and even coast to finish. I went through Hafjell by bus on Saturday. Not surprisingly it was crowded with MTBers.

I was expecting a constant stream of swear words between that brutal landing and the finish line. Glad he was able to keep it rolling for silver.

It is normal speed. His run was 3 mins 24 secs or so.

I thought it was sped up as well. They go fast, huh?

Downhilling is the sh*t. Rapha was founded on freeride. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4pKlR_qKRk8
