Ok ok......but have you ever had your foot slip a pedal right before a big a$$ drop??

This is what I look like in mid air after my foot slipped the pedal right before a big drop...... I'm headed to the docs today, I either have bruised or broken ribs, and I cracked my full face helmet. I feel pretty lucky that's all that injured.

 

[I Are Baboon]

Holy.....







Sh*t.

 

[Jozz]

OMG!

You are lucky if its only a couple of ribs!

Damn that's scary...

 

[pnj]

that's a great picture!

hope you heal quickly.

 

[Heidi]

Wow - that should be titled, "Waiting to die" instead of just "ouch"!

Holy schoikeeeees, man! That looks harsh. Have you considered going clipless.

-S.S.-

 

[binary visions]

Ow. That makes me hurt just looking at it.

Sorry you got hurt, but I'm glad to hear it's only a couple dinged up ribs and no broken arms/legs/collar bones!

 

[Freak]

Holy schoikeeeees, man! That looks harsh. Have you considered going clipless.

-S.S.-

Heh....that was clipless!!!

 

[Echo]

Holy crap dude!

 

[Brian HCM#1]

That sucks!!!! Hope you feel better soon. Who took that pic?

 

[Freak]

That sucks!!!! Hope you feel better soon. Who took that pic?

my wife (Velocity Girl)

 

[Slugman]

holy sh*t.

I'm going to have nightmares tonight...

 

[Velocity Girl]

That sucks!!!! Hope you feel better soon. Who took that pic?

While taking the pic I couldn't really tell that he was going over and then "BAM!!!", and he was tumbling all over the place (Figures that I would mess up a great shot like that and have it turn out all fuzzy...I suck with the camera!!)

 

[RhinofromWA]

What the?!

Hey Freak! Let me know how the docs visit goes......

I think you just made a lot of peoples sphincters pucker in their chairs. I know mine did.

VG take it easy on him...."slipped a pedal" , riiiiiiiiiiiight. More like you mouthed off to VG one to many times. lol

I am glad that didn't turn out any worse. Give me a call later.

[SkaredShtles]

Heh....that was clipless!!!

Well, you better at least tell us what clipless pedals they were so we can stay the hell away from them..........

-S.S.-

 

[JRB]

Holy snikeys batman - that looks really bad. I hope you are ok. I also hope you don't still own that pedal or the cleat. Yikes I say.

The picture's excellent. The fuzz capures the movement towards disaster.

Freak, I hope you're OK!

[Wumpus]

So how is the bike?

 

[Squeak]

Wow! Glad your not seriously injured man.

 

[Toshi]

here's my riding buddy's xc flavored attempt at doing the same thing a few years back:

[Acadian]

saw that pic in the PNW forum...ouch is an understatement.

 

[BMXman]

Heal up soon...so we can hit the 12 hr race...oh and flats rule

 

[Nick]

holy sh!t is right. that's one of the best crash pics I've seen. (note: I hate crash pictures)

hope you feel better soon!

 

[laura]

Damn dude. I am glad you walked away from that one. How did you land? I am guessing you tucked & rolled & rolled & rolled....

VG-that is a nice shot.


----->TN!

 

[bikeguy100k]

Geez, Jason! You're not supposed to eat sh!t before you leave us (ya bastard )!

Get better soon, Dood! Are you going to have a going away party of any sort? How 'bout a get well party? :dancing:

 

[Skookum]

too bad the tranny wasn't a tad steeper, mighta been able to pull that one off.
That sucks though, that would be about the same as having chain suck occur at the worst possible time.

 

[laura]

that would be about the same as having chain suck occur at the worst possible time.

yeah, a couple of good bifs will teach ya the importance of a smooth running drive train QUICK!



----->TN!

 

[MMcG]

Yikes! Did you fly forward or did you piledrive into the dirt along with your bike???

 

[Denny]

Yeah, I did something similar when I first got my stinky in 2001. I had a shady front derailleur setup, and if I hit a bump just right, the chain would fall off. So, needless to say, there was this bump right in front of this drop, and I was crankin' towards it, then BOOM, no chain tension, I'm hangin' over the handlebars as I roll off this little 2' drop at a good clip. Land on my head & shoulder... bad news

 

[Velocity Girl]

The funny/ironic part that he cropped out of the pic to bring it down to a reasonable size is a big yellow sign on the tree next to the drop reading "Warning - Rock Drop"

 

[RhinofromWA]

.......big yellow sign on the tree next to the drop reading "Warning - Rock Drop"

Silly Whistler.....

Freak no read good. He no know how the sign means.

Silly Whislter.....

 

[Five]

Well, at least you still rode on Saturday. 1 run on, 1 run off. Hope you didn't put any scratches on the new Giro helmet. I took off about 2:00, just when it started to rain more. I got my fill of runs in.

 

[MMike]

Silly Whistler.....

Freak no read good. He no know how the sign means.

Silly Whislter.....

It was written in Canadian.

But since you are (for all intents and purposes anyway), alright, then you should be happy that you have this great pic and a good story to tell now!

 

[Freak]

Well, I just got back from the docs, and I have 1 broken rib. But get this!!! I'm sitting in the drive through at McDonalds and some idiot in a mini-van rear-ends me!!! Fock!!! This just isn't my weekend. Luckily, I have my big a$$ trailer hitch still on the truck from hauling the trailer and it took the hit, so no damage to my truck, but it put a nice hole in the front of the mini-van!

LMAO

While rear ending you (just keep reading), I think he broke your rib too....neaky: AND broke your new TLD helmet me thinks!

 

[Instigator]

I am glad to hear it was only 1 rib. Run flats from now on.................they are better anyway :devil:

 

[Freak]

NOT!! I've been running clipless for over 9yrs now, and I'm way to comfortable on them to switch to flats now :eviltongu

You better get out of the PNW before you cause Mt. Rainier to explode too.

 

[Curiouscaptian01]

that sucks,

and yes I have slipped many a pedal, my favorite is when I am doing a no footer and land back on the pedal, only my foot slips off again... Hurts the balls.
