    Well, I guess that's slightly worse than going into the water yourself. It never hurts to bring a flotation device for your rig!

    Btw- awesome dive for the tree save!

    We should all attach a surfboard type leash to our bikes and ankles! That would help on steep dirt hillsides too:lol:! This is also another reason to be cautious when buying a used bike!

    OMG! That was awwwwwwwful!
    I wonder how far out on trail he was. His emotion may have been because he knew he had 10 more miles of that seriously sweet ST to go or a shat HAB back to the drop spot. Where was that trail:)!!!

    That section of skinny he slipped off of seems like the perfect place for some chicken-wire. #-o
