I know..the avatar is pretty freakin cool

anyway, this crash happened so fast, I totally wasnt thinking about how to fall. I went up on the bridge, which was 4 logs layed parallel, my tire went into the gap, and before I knew it I was on the ground going "ohhhh...I'm bleeding...I'm in a creek" It seems like all of my road crashes happen in slow-mo, and the worst I've had is a scrape or two and a cracked helmet.

The two guys in front of me had gone over the bridge, I didn't even see the easier line that cut through a shallow spot in the water. walking back, they were all like, "yea man, thats the 'carnage bridge'"

and btw, If anyone knows central MD, this was at avalon...
