Kinda funny, but I actually did have a mountain bike dream. I have not had a mountain bike dream in a while. I was trying to escape someone chasing me, and my getaway rig was Brutus. I was totally rippin, and cornering like a champ. <sigh> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The break is near the knuckle, I can't grip well at all, at the moment. Only a pinky, but make no mistake...it affects everything with bar grip.

I hit 3 small black diamond drops a couple weeks ago with this f'd up shoulder. Paid for it... I crashed my bike at Mt. Bachelor. I caught a pedal on a ladder feature that had some dirt erosion. The board edge on the right was exposed. I went into the left leaning corner and caught my pedal on the board and it sent me flying. I hit the wooden tabletop and bounced off into the dirt. Sadly, no footage. Usually, I don't pedal as hard into that corner. I was attempting to catch more air. It was a bad choice. I didn't realize how badly the edge had gotten exposed. This feature is one that I have done 50x before. No issues. This time, not so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Break the finger when you hit the ground? I am not even sure. It was probably due to the force of me getting thrown forward and trying to still hold onto the bike and get it correct. I remember striking my pedal, and I tried to correct as I was pushed forward really hard. The next thing that happened was the front and side of my FF helmet hitting the wood, the wind got knocked out of me and I was flipped off into the dirt off the table. My final landing point was off the feature and into the dirt. Really wish I had the crash on video. It was pretty extreme. Actually, I was very lucky. That table top runs in between some big trees.

ChrisL Posted September 30, 2017 Share #13 Posted September 30, 2017 Well if it makes you feel any better I hit this coastal canyon trail that has a little hump I love to do repeats on as it serves two purposes, hill repeats up and work on my twisty descents down. Did 4 repeats and was pretty toast! Felt good on my tight switchbacks coming down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
