So after 5 or so successful landings on Saturday, somthing happened on this one (not sure what exactly, and it kind of annoys me) and well, it didn't turn out so well. Knocked the wind out of me, bruised a hip, and tweaked a rib, but I'm already doing better.
Please notice the loving embrace of the handlebars, weight way forward over the front wheel, and legs tucked neatly underneath the bike.
I recommend you not try this at home.

Nice hit. The bigger question is not why you screwed up the landing but Who is the hottie sitting by the take off?

Looks like your chain guide may have prevented the need for stiches in the back of your calf...

Ouch. Good photo work, though, to catch that at the right moment.

I hate it when this happens. Of course, I've never gone even remotely that big before. But I've still managed to do that. The best part is when the bike starts to lay down and you realize that you're hopelessly pretzeled inside it. Fun!!! Originally Posted by CS

A couple notes on the crash:
First, thankfully the seat vilation of the nether-regions never really occured just sort of looked that way, and somehow my boys were spared a nastly collision with the top tube.
Funny thing was I only walked away with a couple scrapes, well, and the tweaked rib.
It's possible I slipped a pedal on landing, since I for some reason decided I needed to try a no-footer off the thing (you know, in the name of "progression"
) (on that note I blame all the videos out there for my decision and subsequent wreck).
Kinda funny thing was after the waddage and the struggle to breathe again, some guy on the beach had come up to see if I was ok and after I stood up finally said somthing like "dude, I know you're probably hurting right now, but you are fucking badass." Made me chuckle (which in turn made me wince).Last edited by CS; 05-25-2005 at 10:34 AM.
