PARK CITY, Utah -An Arizona mountain biker has been killed in a spill while going down a difficult trail at Deer Valley Resort in Park City, Utah.

The victim was identified as 51-year-old Tommy Crawford of Gilbert. Park City police say Crawford was biking yesterday afternoon with a friend on the Thieves Forest Trail, an expert-only trail.

Police say he was going down the hill, hit a steep spot, went over the top of the handlebars and landed in front of the bike. Crawford was wearing a helmet and gloves. Emergency crews attempted CPR but couldn't revive Crawford, and he was pronounced dead at the scene.

I was watching the video "Red Bull Rampage" and got kinda spooked about big downhills. This only compounds that. National's gonna wait another few months for sure.

This particular section of the trail is a quick section that comes out of the trees into basically a blind roll/drop depending on your speed. I've been up here since Friday and had the misfortune of coming across the accident scene as they were attempting to revive him.
