    I'm not sure who this is crashing. I was behind the camera on this big group ride a few years back.

    So yesterday I crashed on my mountain bike. It wasn't really a crash, more like I tipped over going about 2 mph. I was riding down a singletrack in Corner Canyon and anther rider and his dog were coming up the trail so I unclipped my right foot and went to step down and the dumb dog ran under my foot, so I fell to the left where my foot was still clipped into the pedal and I couldn't catch myself. It was no big deal really... except for the front sprocket sliced my calf open like a kitchen turkey. It took over 30 stitches to close and is going to leave a wicked scar.

    I had to ride two miles home and drive myself to the hospital.

    The doc's were laughing because I placed a towel over the wound and ducted taped it in place so I would bleed all over my truck. They thought it was funny I used duct tape to patch myself up.

    The worst part is I'm out of commission for doing fun stuff for the next 3 weeks.

    Remember... you were warned!

    Someone recently asked me what the scar from my bike crash looked like.

    Here ya go. When I'm wearing shorts I get a lot of comments and questions. Scars are just tattoos with a story.

    The guys at 203mm WebMTB posted this shot of Kelly McGarry crashing out at Rampage last weekend, he walked away from it and rode in finals but it was one hell of a crash!

    After working hard to post my best time ever on a nice bit of down hill I was relaxing while rolling through a straight section on my way back to the house. With less than a half a mile of dirt remaining before the boring three and a half mile asphalt treck to the hacienda, a lapse of concentration put me down. It appears that I clipped the left edge of a rock in the trail shooting my front wheel to the left and out from under me. The bike went left while i flew right, head first, and supermanning it all the way in. Fortunately I had the presence of mind to use the thistles to slow me down as I slid along.

    I took this pick while regaining my wits prior to heading down. You can see where my hand first hit the dirt to the right of the trail - my slide was right to left through this pic head first all the way to a full stop. Thank god for thistles.

    I had just left my riding partner at a trail junction a half a mile above this. I gave him a call and asked if he could grab his truck and meet me at the lower parking lot. I felt I'd be fine riding that far but not through town. The bike looked fine... as I started rolling, fortunately down hill, I couldn't get my seat to stay up - it appears I have damaged the cable and lever to the dropper I had recently installed. Soon enough I needed to pedal a short uphill segment... that's when i realised that I had sheared the perch for my left shifters, had to stop and reseat the chain to the inner chainring, then roll to the parking lot.

    I had a few minutes to wait so I rolled across to the bathrooms to wash up.. I knew my shin was scraped pretty good and my forearm sustained some good rash. I was suprised to look in the mirror and see my upper arm.

    Once the dirt was rinsed out the pain started.

    The upper thigh and hip scrapes are not visible in the pics.

    I ordered the parts to repair the bike, should be here by the end of the week. Hopefully I'm healed enough to ride by the time I get them!

    Did you break some records?


  17. #56
    Yes... Picked up 5 PRs on Rush...

    And a peronal record for most square inches of trail bacon in a single setting. I've had way worse crashes... just not as much skin lost at once!
