'Funny' Crash Today

[chqm8]

My friend and I went for a little spin today and found a decent roller to practice on.

I got lucky and cleaned it. John didn't get so lucky.

Click here for the carnage. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fiVzMgnlkJs&fmt=18)

ETA: I really shouldn't call this crash funny. It could've been pretty bad.

On the drive home we decided that any ride that results in not having to call 9-1-1 is a good ride.

Ouch.

Glad your friend is ok. It looks like his helemt is too far back, by the way.

With that much forehead showing he's lucky he didn't fracture his skull. Put a decent helmet that fits on that guy.

Ouch

[chqm8]

I know. He really could benefit from a fullface helmet.

ouch...

note to self: don't try rolling yet. :D

[Rich]

Glad he's ok. Steeper than it looks.

[leebo]

He's in need of some advanced skills clinc. Maybe we could schedule some in the future. Anyone good with that kind of tech riding?

Damn, I wish someone introduced me to trials riding 40 years ago, I really do.

Those reverse nose wheelies are totally mind boggling.
