Congrats on taking the hit on the soft stuff!
Darn it ! You got there first!
A buddy did this on our second skiing vacation. Caught it out of the corner of my eye, I wasn't going to stop because we were all practicing the new found skill of shuusing, so we didn't have to push across the horrible flat spot.
We of course all stopped at the end of the flat, and watched as he gathered up his hat, glove, poles, skis, etc and made his way down to us, including pushing across the hated flat.
"You OK?"
He then entered the history books with his reply.
"Yeah! I think I'm really getting the hang of this!"
We all fell down laughing.
Joey, do you think that in putting your hand on the bar at the same moment as hitting the bump imparted some steering input that triggered this?
