i don't understand it. i guess my balance was a bit off or something. anyway i bailed nosemanualing over a ledge(like a gap) and i bailed. see pictures.

the first one is just after it happened, as the blood began to flow, the second one is after i cleaned up.

What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger. At least you aren't afraid to try, one good thing from the whole ordeal...that and it's not too bad... nothing broken

Paying your dues man. Glad it wasn't worse. Did you laern anything from your little experience?

The only good facial scars are stitches. Road rash ones suck.
