Took a spill at the bike park today. They built a new ramp at the bike park. My friend had done it before, and I never have. I got too much speed and did not know how much air I would have gotten. This is the result: <iframe width="480" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/dAO9RBp3834" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Just a big scrape above my elbow, luckily no broken bones. :shock: http://i1033.photobucket.com/albums/...2/CIMG7690.jpg |
Re: Took a spill at the bike park today. ohhhh Dude, lol |
Re: Took a spill at the bike park today. We had a jam session a few years ago at some trails one of the guys got wasted and jumped the rhythm section as he went through the section he started leaning a little bit more and more as he worked through the section until he did what you did. It always makes me laugh. :ror: |
Re: Took a spill at the bike park today. :lmao::lmao::lmao:I heard an "oh sh!t." This is what happens when you're multitasking down a horse trail on your mountain bike. I was fine 'till I got in the shower. It'll heal."thumbsup" http://i1106.photobucket.com/albums/...1338422876.jpghttp://i1106.photobucket.com/albums/...1338422878.jpg |

Re: Took a spill at the bike park today. My worst crash....and unfortuantely I don't have it on video....was off a teeter-totter. We were riding one of local 6.5 mile loop trails one Saturday and they had recently put up a new teeter totter. I'd ridden across it a couple times about 2 weeks before, so I knew what to expect. Well, this particular day there were about a dozen people standing around watching others cross it. So I come around the corner, line up for the crossing, start up the side that's down, get to about the middle where it pivots, and bam! I fall off the left side on my face. I layed there for a few moments as I hear everyone else gasp, "oh shit", etc. and try to regain my bearings. One guy helps me up and we check everything out. No broken bones, a swollen left cheek bone, which leads to a black eye, some scratches down the left side of my face, but I'm otherwise okay. I pick up my bike, check for damage, hop back on, and continue riding. Even tried the teeter-totter again and was successful. After we finished riding, we were putting the bikes back on the rack and taking off riding gear when I inspected my helmet. Wasn't until then that I realized I cracked it in the fall. All the way through cracked. Felt pretty lucky at that moment. $40 helmet saved me a concussion and a trip to the hospital. Drove from the trail to the bike shop and spent $180 on a new Giro Xen helmet and another $30 on a Giro helmet pod. |

Also, don't ever take your feet off of the pedals right before you land. That is a 100% guarantee that you will fall. |

Re: Took a spill at the bike park today. Actually it does, say your back wheel is 24" diameter, your back tire is only about half a wheels diameter from the ground. |
Re: Took a spill at the bike park today. I think your ready to go to the Whistler bike park...:lmao: Here is what we ride locally. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bm4NU4Ffe8w |
Did this last month mt biking. Rolled my left foot and broke my 5th metatarsal in two places. This pic is a couple hours after. Didn't go to doc till next day. http://i728.photobucket.com/albums/w...6/f2d20261.jpg |
Re: Took a spill at the bike park today. I do have to agree on the jump. Maybe a foot off the ground. This is how you jump: http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5040/7...8a8fdf26_c.jpg This isn't me, but it's my Raptor 350 hangin' in the air. Rider is my youngest brother-in-law and the "ramp" was about 4' tall. I snapped this pick over Easter in 2010. He launched the bike about 45 feet on that attempt. Later that day he launched my Raptor 700 53.5 feet! |
