Put a plug in there and you're good to go on it again.

Reminds me I need to ace my carbon bars soon..ouch...
Was a good day...actually it was ...
Ripped rib cartilage and tears both sides of front, tore part of left shoulder...no internal bleeding and no ruptured organs..
"STUPID ROCKS!"
We rode the nasty crap and killed it, hitting a rock section best and jumps easy...something under the dust on backside of a hip to left stopped front tirenlike I grabbed breaks and wheel turned left. Went down into rocks, saw it coming out head down and went onto left shoulder and ribs...
Shit hurts....but didn't break anything...
Figure how long can cartlidge take I should be back next week. Some ibuprofen and time to grind it out....
Can't breath or get up...so at least a couple days.
Chalk one up for me. Still walked away (barely) ..I walked out 2 miles, they loaded bike and helped me into driver seat. 35 miles home had buddy at my house pull bike out and put in garage...wife jumped in and I drove to hospital..

Ballet freeride..back wheel twirls off drops...
Roots were murderous this morning. I felt like I totally forgot how to ride them, crashed once. Then for the afternoon ride crashed again on the black before the double black, but luckily not bad and the only trouble I had on the double black was a slick rock section and it wasn’t even a real crash.
But then I fucking rolled my ankle just walking around at the bottom on the road, with ankle braces. Fuck. It’s not as bad as the time two weeks ago, but my tendons are stretched to hell.

it's like speeding tickets. i always get them when i'm not paying attention cruising around town, never when i'm mach chicken on the highway (thank the fsm).
Well I have undisturbed time to tune now...so udi had some input for Rc2 that I'm going to do and I'll do the avy cart at same time.
Wes at fox gave me the part numbers so I'll order stanchion and NA2 air cart to do evol....finish 29 conversion and get things ready to ride.
I'll go check out some ballet while out and make sure to heckle the kids...make em tougher...

Heal up quick guys!
Bike don't heal by themselves but we humans do, to a certain extent, so it does indeed make sense to get injured and save the bike.

Assegai front prolly one of the best rn. But theyre hard to find esp in 29. Heal up, prolly just bruised ur kidz. Hydrate and rest.
