Default Picture from ouchie at loop yesterday


I guess I got really lucky last night after having walked away with minor scrapes and a sore crotch after falling on a pretty fast downhill at the loop. Thanks to those who stopped and helped me

You're welcome You did get pretty lucky I think. If you would have fallen awkwardly it would have been bad.

Umm, umm, I'll bet a shower feels good on that (off)road rash!

Two weeks into six or eight of my broken collar bone, so I guess what I'm saying is, I'm jealous of you!

Glad you're okay and didn't leave there with a worse injury.

Throw some wheat grass extract on the rash and it'll heal up very quickly and nicely...

That looks tasty! Try Aloe Vera to heal it up quickly, every biker should have this shiat in their bag of tricks. Make sure the Aloe vera is 100%, you want the pure stuff, don't even settle for 99% unless you cant find anything in a 5 mile radius.

screw it, just put some peanut butter on it.....lol, joking!

I like dirt, personally...

Mark recommends Calendula oil, but I think you need to get that at the weird holistic organic food places.

It was so funny because Shinken was infront of me and you were behind me and the pace was somewhat fast going down that hill. I thought you were behind me and I stopped at the street and you were picking yourself up. It could have bee a lot worse someone could have ran into you going down that hill. I almost ate it their as well but my quick cat like atheltic aglie 230lb body absorbed all the Fully loop could throw at me. OK I was kidding I don't want to be the next victim...sorry SJ

I would have thought that those new sparkly gold hubs would have saved your a$$ on the Loop downhill...

Haha I think those new hubs put me into Mach 7 or something and I just couldn't handle the power of the gold Hadleys! But really I think I'm going to put the blame on the brakes because I've never ridden discs before and so I locked them up therefore causing me to skid but luckily I slid to a halt and didn't endo. I think I just need full squish

Honestly couldn't tell you how big they are. They're Hayes So1e's that Rob let me borrow in the meantime until I buy my Avid Juicy 7's.

I thought it sounded crazy when I first heard it, but it works (not only for road rash, but burns and other wounds, too). You don't drink it...you apply it directly to the wound.

I bought a bunch of wheat grass juice from Jamba Juice and stored it in my fridge.

Jessie, next time, more front brake and less rear. You would'nt have skidded. Glad you're ok. How did Jeana(Rut's posse) get hurt?

7" front, 6" rear.

Juicy 7's are much better than the Soles, you should invest asap
