3 weeks ago, my buddy Jason crashed as we came down SJT, 10 stitches on his knee, 11 on his thigh, his arm was too chewed up for stitches.

Yesterday, we rode Holy Jim up and back, on the way down, Sam crashed and cut his knee so deep, you could see the white bone. Again, we ended at Mission Hospital, 10 stitches. The doctor said that it was a very clean/sharp cut. This is why it was not too painful.

2 in a month, I swear it was not my fault...

Thats not too bad a percentage. A while back I posted about riding with the Seat Sniffer, and 4 out of 5 rides with this guy...thats right 80% of the rides I have been on with him, have resulted in someone crashing, including myself once.
About ten years ago I sliced my knee open pretty good, and tore my miniscus coming down Holy Jim. It was crazy looking.
I hope your friends heal well, just stop with the bad JUJU already and let your buds ride in peace

It is always your fault. At least that is the word on the street.

I'll still ride with you but I'm starting down first!

Big Guy · 03-12-2008, 09:24 PM

Sam is out for a couple of weeks, Jason is back on the saddle. We're riding Saturday, bring the knee pads...

Might I suggest one of these for anyone riding with you. I've heard they're very E-Z to hit the climbs in...downhill - there's no stopping you.

I've ridden with Serge........

And it didn't even stop me from riding with him!

Think I'll stick to trail work with you--not that I believe in that JuJu stuff
