I crashed on the trail..twice :madman:
Both rookie mistakes but I file that as "learning"!!
1st was a log over technical were chain ring can stick if you don't clear with speed and air..I didn't have enough of both..my chain ring stuck to the log..feet out but no ground to stand..bike, me and momentum I did havepushed me forward, that rotated my drivetrain and put my Forte Coverts into the back of my leg...SCrrrrrAAPE! FARCKEN..Ahhhh..hit the ground...got up kept riding and the blood dripped to my sock..go tlike 6 scrapes two hella deep scar makers..
2nd (same day) whoosh trail on the side of the river bank..swooshin up and down around trees and some of the swoosh down the trail goes from 10" wide to 4" cuz of rain wash..well my rear fell off the trail from some OVER brakeing(me)..caused my bike to slide ..I slide..twist up bike and foot stuck..over backward onto my back handel bar in my chest..bent it all up and now I limp when I walk.
I thought I was done for the weekend..but come Sunday and today I couldn't not ride...WOW I had way less pain riding than walking so I out another 15 miles on my OD...Still can't walk very good..as log as I can ride right LOL
Trail Badges..the bruse on my thigh is the size of a soft ball..
