Mountain Biking - Grrrr... broken derailliuer... video inside

Okay, if you fall and get up and try something else.. well that's dumb. Add super slick wet slippry rain and mud.. that's dumber... This video was a trail I've ridden a hundred times and never have any problems at all.. get out the camera... and well, now we have a new situation!

that frantic tree grab in the last fall was awesome!!! :D Along with the dialog. "ooohhh...that one hurt...can someone help me?"

:beer:

How many times have we all said that "that one hurt" :D

Any pictures of the damage? :D

No photos yet... but you can see on the second fall when the drivetrain hooks on the end of the bridge... then I land on it! :(

Oh well... At least we got them on tape! :)

Joe

NICE!!! I'm bringing my dv cam w/ me back to school i think so i'll have some videos, keep it up!

For those who have not seen it, here is Helmet Cam of the first fall on another day. That part of the trail is called Joe-Job, cuz I was the first to really crash I guess... great eh?

Anyway, here is the Helmet cam crash on Joe-Job last year. I'm riding a 2001 Bullit in this one:

I broke my wrist last november, ok October 30, It sucked big time... I dont think that there is a good time to break anything!!

Heh.. I broke my collarbone last October on the second last weekend of DH for the season.. really took a chunk out of my fall riding, and made my winter riding really suck... but, I'd rather break it then than in the Summer!

Joe

Good News.. Bike and Body are all fixed up.. time to make more video! Wish me luck!

Joe

Looks like they both hurt ;)

The last one looks like it hurt a bit.. the slow mo replays make your bike sound like crap.. heh
