Thank you TSG
I was riding my local trails in Graz in Austria with my buddy and TSG ambassador Cri Meierhofer.
I know these trails by heart and we just had an easy run. Suddenly my front tire slipped and seconds later I was lying on the ground. I really don’t remember what had happened. It was not a technical section or anything special, it happened just our of the blue.

Cri told me that I fell over the bar and my head crashed into a tree. Luckily I was wearing my TSG Scope helmet and I walked away without any serious injury.
Thank you TSG!
Big dent in my helmet, not at my head.
Always remember to replace your helmet after a crash with impact and do not use it any longer. Your helmet absorbs the impact energy by partial destruction of the EPS foam of the inner shell, this might not be visible.
