who won????
The race or the break dance contest?


Dan got back on the bike first and beat me to the finish, bastard. If I had just taken the high line, I would have passed FTW, but I knew he was ahead of me so I dove in to take the low-high line in hopes I'd cut him off at the exit. Little did I know he'd wreck right in front of me. Serves me right for trying to use strategery in a race.

Don't forget shin guards! This happened to me today at the Skate park. Tore a 1" flap of skin on my leg, and cut all the way to the bone. And I have to take my pedals to the barber shop for a hair cut now!
 
i'm bummed that no-one was there to get pics of my crash, but here is my newest reason to get a new frame...




30 minutes later



my DH bike for now... its going to get my DH pedals and rear brake...

This is what happens when you get too comfortable hitting a stunt, you get sloppy.


Just to explain one thing, the reason I banked so hard to the right is that there is a 3 foot rock drop that I was trying to avoid. I tryed to make it to the right of the tree, and as you can see I didn't make it.

Moving from one deathtrap bike to another eh?

I've seen posts of you riding that jalopy for too long. You seriously can't scrape together $200 for a genuine dh frame? I propose we take up a collection to get you something that will not instantly shatter.

Set up a paypal account and post these pictures in a new thread and I'm sure you will have no shortage of donations from concerned monkeys. It's sure to be cheaper for us than the inevitable "cheetaprowlerdh memorial fund" that your buddies will post up here when you die.

Damn dude. My DH is still alive and probably shouldn't be.
