Exclamation Helicopter Rescue - Update 5/13

Just heard from my friend:

She broke her collar bone, slight brain bleed, brusies, 2 or 3 days at mission, and a free helicopter ride. She is ok now and healing, but sore.

She was a "newbie" rider that hadn't been riding very long... as you can see from the video. She plans to keep on mountain biking!

It's been 2 months, and I haven't seen an invoice from the sheriffs department for my flight out.

The day I call it free will be the day I get the bill, so...

Good to hear your friend is OK but who's idea was it to take her down Meadows knowing full well she was a newbie?
