    He went over the handlebars on the ride last night. Very surprising too. Wade's one of the best riders I've been with.

    Yep. I think it was just a freak accident. Not a difficult section of trail, it just happened. Wade of course is a very experienced rider. It can happen to anyone. The same thing happened with my crash last year when I broke my wrist. Sucks.

    Isn't that how it always goes. It's not the 12' verticle off the cliff or the massive air off the roller. Nope, it's the "tipping over cuz I couldn't get unclipped" type spill that does it to you.

    Or the "trying to ride a wheelie to impress the ladiez". That does it too.

    Sucks that this happened during April, May or June though. Why can't it happen in October?

    Sorry man.

    Yeah, I've got the pics with me.. just waiting.

    I'll start another thread with them though... warnings of graphic material.

    Just to let you know, his bones weren't sticking out or anything, there's just a lot of blood.

    So, we're waiting for them about 1/4 mile down the trail, I decide to ride up and see what's happening. I saw kirk on the phone, and I'm thinking, get off the phone dude, let's ride. Then I see Wade laying on the trail. hell.

    Gotta love seeing bones breaking through the skin. I just wish it was someone we didn't know

    Now let me start by saying... Good for you son! It's always good to see young people taking an interest in danger. Now a lot of people are going to be telling you you're crazy, and maybe they're right. But the fact of the matter is: Bones heal. Chicks dig scars. And the United States of America has the best doctor-to-daredevil ratio in the world!

    He just got out of Surgery and can go home tomorrow. You left part of the bone on the trail, but his bike is ok.
