Going top fast and I took a bad line then clipped a pedal. Helmet cracked in half but saved my brain, Neck is stiff, right shoulder, thigh, and small toe are sore, left kidney area is tender left pinky is broke, front wheel was fixable. New helmet purchased. Enjoy the impact

cracks are on the ribs above my fingers

new lid

[Nick]

Glad you're ok Eric.

I can't believe you taco'd your wheel like that.

 

[Serial Midget]

Doh! Glad your brains didnt spill.

Jeezus, dude. Don't crash.

It's a fair cop.

[stevew]

[AngryMetalsmith]

Could have been worse, like 75 pounds* worse.

Damn pedal catchers can change your life real quick.

Last year about this time I ran full into a downed tree and my eye swelled shut. After that I bought a visor-less ski-helmet for night riding.

 

[mandown]

fuck eric.

Does that need a comma?

 

[stevew]

Does that need a comma?

probably...i'd never direct ill will towards him.

Last pedal catcher I did I woke up on a pile of logs 10 feet off the side of the trail with a dislocated shoulder.

Goddamn lizard people.

 

[Pesqueeb]

That sucks eric, feel better.

The camera did an amazing job of capturing the helmet hit the rock though. That was awesome to watch.

 

[N8 v2.0]

Heal up brother. I feel for you.

I endo'ed myself hitting a pipe tire stop & curb in front of our post office last Monday. Hit my helmet and bruised the fvck out of my ribs. I'm still sore from that sh!t.

 

[JohnE]

Glad you are okay...been there, done that...but didnt get video.

 

[maxyedor]

Yep, catching a prdslblows donkey balls. I've pussed out on many a section due to the risk of a pedal strike related ejection.

Helmets are rad aren't they?

 

[rideit]

About ten years ago i was riding on some renegade wilderness trails alone, far away from all humanity. I think it was about 6:00 (in summer). I clipped a pedal, landed on my helmet, lights out.
I woke up and it was almost dark...nobody would have found me for days.
It was an eye opener, for sure.

 

[eric strt6]

Well my plan was to go ride today but I'm feeling mildly out of sorts. coordination is slightly off and just not quite there mentally sort of like a mild hangover. Probably mild concussion symptoms so I think I will do the smart thing and take it easy.

That did not look like a gentle fall! Glad to hear you are mostly ok. You should run more, MTB less.

Horrible plan, anyone could see that proper sized wheels that are actually ridabro would have avoided this.

That would have bee a scull buster without the helmet. Keeping brains intact is good, you should double check on the possibility of concussion.

So did you go back to check on the rock ? Bet you didn't, jerk.
