Popular Post airinpie Posted November 6, 2017 Popular Post Share #1 Posted November 6, 2017 Saturday was our big Fall Fest mountain bike festival. It rained a lot in Friday, and usually they are big on “don’t ride wet trails” around here, but with the festival, it was on. It was craziness. I was all over the place sliding around. Finally I hit a good dry downhill section and let loose. Well, I guess it wasn’t that dry. My bike slid out from under me and I went flying over the bars. My worst crash yet. Nothing is broken, just lots of bruises and a sore body. God mountain biking is fun. 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtyhip Posted November 6, 2017 Share #2 Posted November 6, 2017 Another example of why the ladies around here are more rugged than the boys. Nice work, Airin. ..and get your trail tools out to repair any damage that was done to the trail bed. Peace. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisL Posted November 6, 2017 Share #10 Posted November 6, 2017 Before i got into Mtn biking i was training for a cross race and biffed pretty hard. I was all tore up, dirty and bloody and as I pulled up to my car two guys on mountain bikes were just getting started. They looked at me and said yeah right on good ride huh?!?!? I knew then & there I liked the mountain bike culture. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maddmaxx ★ Posted November 6, 2017 Share #13 Posted November 6, 2017 Camon guys. I've had crashes that looked like this. The fire suit saved my ass but there I was being broiled like a lobster inside the suit standing on the side of the track after I got out while trying to shed clothes as fast as possible. You got the crash part but I got the burn. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had a couple of near misses on the road and Mtn bike and did get taken out by a dog years ago on my road bike which was probably my worse crash on asphalt. I ate sheot numerous times on my BMX bike as a kid too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have had a few racing motocross that sent me to the hospital, two from ice racing, one from hillclimbing and one on the road but I was not racing at the time. Believe it or not some of the worst road rash was some of the crashes on dirt. What I need is some race leathers like this so I can just check off the bones that I broke. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had an encounter with a tree that had me limping for a week or so, other than that the dirt crashes were just scrapes and mud. The road has put a hurting on me a few times.
