That sucks. I did this Friday, and I don't think anyone here wants to see the pic without the glove. The cut went 1/2 inch deep into the palm to the muscle. But still, not as bad as a shoulder injury those are the worst IMO.Quote:

Not sure, I had the shakey-pukes from the impact for a bit and then hobbled off discombobulated to my car. Can't think of one pointy rock anywhere near where I fell but I'm looking next time for it. Just pancaked really hard.Quote:

Just here to commiserate. Popular downhill-only trail here has an exit that is a short steep uphill to a t-intersection without a lot of room at the intersection so even though riders are slowing down for the intersection most everyone is trying to maintain some speed so they can make it uphill and through the junction. Well sure enough it's tourist season and everyone just stops right in the middle of the junction and then gives dirty looks when you come in behind them. Had to dismount on the uphill and push my bike past them because these asshats where camped out in the middle of the trail. Nothing like ending a fun downhill run by pushing your bike uphill. :fuckyou:Quote:

I don't give a flying fuck about your opinion on anything as you're the biggest tool in here. Now go back to spewing how horrible Mikaela's turn is and how wonderful yours are...ultimate moran manQuote:

When did I say mikela turns are horrible? and mine are wonderful. I am fairly certain I said I did nt like her boot alignment a couple years ago.....its been fix forever now.
Holy Shit crackstraw is off his meds, simmer the fuck down. You truly are an asshole. I’m with Bushy on this.
First time ever dislocating that shoulder?Quote:

Yep, just lucky I guess. Ortho had never heard of it happening nor has anyone I've told about it.Quote:

Bushy, I'm with ya. Who cares what kind of bike. I do subscribe to waiting until an ideal spot to pass. I also typically just move out of the way for other riders and call to them to continue riding no matter where I am at on the trail or what bike I'm riding, just the polite thing to do.

I cracked my Hightower frame and Santa Cruz has a replacement frame for me but it will take 4-6 weeks to assemble and ship. Seems like a long wait for a frame that's "in stock."
Oh well, I guess I'm on my steel hardtail for the summer. First world problems.
yeah I dont have an E bike but they are becoming increasing common around stowe.Quote:

Yeah, that’s a pretty wild mechanism. Was the berm rocky or full of braking bumps? Even still, I imagine you must’ve done something just right…..Quote:

Six months of nothing and a very painful rehab.
I currently have a Grade 5 AC Separation (clavicle is basically a branch sicking out with nothing attached) that will go unfixed due to that experience. :nonono2:
