So I was TRUCKIN' through this rock garden today. It was the best I've ever ridden it, until right before the end. I saw this line, went off a big diving board rock, and then.... the **** went down. My front wheel got stuck in a hole, and I went over. Face first into a rock. I skidded on my head enough that it smelled like burning rubber from the rubber coating on my new Fox helmet! shoved my sunglasses into my face, and well........ cut me up. It's probably broken... we'll find out tomorrow.


After the initial trialside cleanup:

Dayum Mike! Should we just call you Rocky from now on?!

"Hey, I'm not stupid! It's just that my brain is sorta...relaxed...y'know?!" :p


Naaahh..Keep pushing it. If you start to hold back you'll crash more.

hmmm... I don't want to sound like a jerk, but that's probably the gods punishing you for wearing sunglasses with a full-face. Not only is it a fashion crime, but it is dangerous too.

get well soon! get some goggles!

As soon as I finish the roll of film I'll post those pictures. My camera's not digital and they were the first pictures on the roll so it'll be a little bit before I can get them up.

Thanks to all of you for showing us a good time yesterday! RT is a hoot! Definately enjoyed that!:) Next time I hope we can spend a good bit of time on the drop trails. I was kinda' bummed when we ran out of time and had to split before riding them yesterday. But that didn't take anything away from the day, for sure! It was nice meeting all of you and I look forward to another ride soon. You all will have to come up to York to check out our flava'! We don't have the vert but we do have a lot of cool shiz! You just have to pedal to it! I hope all the walking wounded heal up quickly! Laters.

Dave

isn't riding supposed to get you into better shape and not making your mug uglier? ;) :nuts:

at least your GF puts up with it. you know what they say about the size of a man's nose... it's probably BROKEN! :sneaky:

so, did you destroy another helmet... 2 in 2 trips to the shed? i wish i would have gotten off my lazy ass and rode with y'all, but i didn't feel like riding the P3 on sunday... missing the big bike.

Yeah, my GF was there. She saw myself and a friend riding back up the shuttle road in a truck she didn't notice (some guy was nice enough to give us a ride) and we both had big smiles on our faces...... she knew somthing was up! When I took the rag off my face, she took it pretty well... didn't freak our or anything, just asked what happened and how I was feeling :)

Nope, didnt break my helmet, just the visor. It just kinda scraped over the rock, I didnt really hit it hard. We did some forensic science to figure out what happened, found some Lexan on one rock from my bashguard, found some scrapes on another rock from my helmet......... I left my mark :)

Hey, congrats! You didn't wash the blood off your helmet did you?
Breaking your nose with a moto-x helmet on? Dude!
You should forget about MTB armor and look into one of those bear attack survival suits!
