Thought I'd start the year off with an early SJT & loop. Sweet ride up to Cocktail a little wind, temp was about 60 already at 7.00am.
Started down the clockwise part trail is just sweet, running thru the trees towards the bottom. I'm thinking man what a great day.
Boosted off a big rock, next thing I remember is riding a nose wheelie from hell down a steep rocky part of the trail. Luckly a tree root stopped me in my tracks & I landed on my head.

Broken front wheel
Broken Helmet
Broken Speedo
Broken Pinky Finger
Broken fork

My helmet split big time!. Managed to pull my front wheel back into a ridable shape, & headed back down.

Great way to start a new year, glad I always wear my helmet & keep it tight. Fingers a little sore but I'll live.
Lets hope that was it for a while, I was due for a spill. Any way healing vibes to everybody thats missing some skin or has swollen limbs.

Happy New Year!

I had my final spill for 07 at santiago oaks on the 31st. Jammed shoulder, bruised legs and a bunch of scrapes. Kinda ruined my plans for a jan. 1st ride but what can you do, right?

happy new year.

Kid A · 01-01-2008, 03:41 PM

maybe use this to protect your "speedo" next time around the holiday season

Healing vibes out to you dude. SJT claimed a few victims this weekend, including my already fragile ego.

Looks like the fork is bent back slightly, I was moving with some spped, took a jump & landed front wheel into a hole, I've bent a fork like this before. I need to get it looked at because it could have been the blow to the head that was making it look asque!
