Over there somewhere.
Had a bad spill today while shuttling. Was going over a very rooty section at a good clip of speed, just remember feeling the bike starting to wash out on me. Next thing I remember is laying on my side, don't remember the impact or anything afterwards, must of not been out too long though, the bike was just coming to a stop, not sure though. Got up, felt ill, checked rest of self over, just scratches and bruises. Took a look at my helmet, the helmet is broken in 2 spots. If I did not have the helmet on, it would have been way worse. Managed to limp way back to my car, called a friend to come get me and take me to the hospital. The helmet is broken, so what, much better than my head. Thankful that the gear did its intended job. That is as much as I know, I really don't know right at this moment what happened or how long I was laying there while unconcious. I have had concussions before, but this one is the worst so far.

Glad your ok, i know how you feel though. Last MX race i did(which i'm not supposed to anymore, long story) i remember putting my gear on, and then i remember waking up in the hospital, apparntly i cases a big ass double. Damage: collarbone, nose, broke the entire face off of my helmet, and a headache for the next 2 weeks, hope yours isn't that bad.

Got some repairs that have to be done, frame is not cracked, scratch, brake levers a bent and have a ton of play in my one platform pedal.

Really stiff and sore right now, but I feel like I'm in some kind of daze mixed with a bad headache right now.

Take it easy for a while, It's easy to knock yourself out a second time after you've already done it once..........
Good to hear you're feeling all good, one of my mates knocked himself out the day before a race, the next day he raced, and knocked himself out again (in the same place)! talk about accident prone!
take it easy mate, have fun on the trails!
