    Bluejay to chiquito to candy store.

    Broken seatpost at the frame, could not extract. Rode the rest of chiquito standing the entire time (which had a direct effect on the following)

    Me hitting a tree dead middle of my helmet, knocking myself out for a minute or two and spitting blood and cracking the helmet.

    Somewhere on chiquito where all the big rockgardens are While my legs were exhausted, i dropped a rock into another throwing me over the bars at a decent rate of speed. Feels like a ripped my shoulder apart. and caused several gashes and cuts along my elbows, legs and arms.

    I took for granted how important a seat is, if simply to square up between your legs while standing and giving you a little bit of extra support.

    Im dreading the shower now.

    thanks guys, the shower revealed no major damages to any of the tattoos and the rest of it will heal. for now the bikes at the bike company waiting to get the seat tube removed.

    that was honest such a bad choice, but my pal seemed bummed the ride was gonna end so thats when i decided to soldier on. bad call.
