Let's see them everyone. Lidarman needs some cheering up, and what could possibly be more effective at cheering someone up than the misfortune of others.

I'll start

Close Call.

Crash or Close Call?

There is a bike theme so far.

That is an amazing picture, that must have ended in a crash.

My pic ended with a very minor crash preceeded by 10ft nose wheelie.

Here's another

Schweet!

Now that's a perfect capture of that sick moment when you realize you are going over the top. I've been there recently, and it sucks every time. Still got the scabs on my shins!

I was there yesterday. Flying around a corner, small log in the way. Bunny hop, clear, land, somehow grab front brake, eat dirt. Its an interesting feeling, knowing that you will be hitting the ground in less than a second, having time to thingk "this is gonna hurt" but yet not enough time to do anything about it.

A friends series..

I guess there isn't much of a question with these..

He is smiling way too much to be scared of going over. Eigther he doesn't realize it yet or he planned it?!

Mine's not a dramatic as some of these, but it was January, and that water was COLD, and I didn't have anything to change into and we were a LONG way from the trailhead.

Luckily I saved it and only got one foot wet. :thumbsup:

I think that is Dan's famous grimace describing his thoughts
"I think I need to leap over my handlebars now or I'm toast!"

He almost did too, but the landing was followed by another two foot drop off at the end of that rock so no dice.

 

[jarrod7219]

close call... I hope

 

[aword4you]

Looks like it's a close call, but... that dirt is a bit loose down there

 

[flipnidaho]

close call... I hope

Nope, she bit it...
However, after picking herself up, she tried it again and nailed the rock steps... What a trooper...

Could be that's a "Oh Sh!t grimace". ...

 

[mtnbiker1973]

I had to hide the face to protect the innocent.....

 

[nachomc]

^^ that one looks like it hurt.

 

[NuMexJoe]

Check my left hand, squeezing the brake despite my brain screaming "Let go of the brake!!!" I had no business being on the DH course and Angel Fire, anyway. IIRC, Kristian gets photo credit.

When you're young, you bounce off or bounce back. When you're my age and crash like that, there is normally some scraping of body parts off the rock required.
