I sway it to the right and suddenly look down and there's a 20 ft straight drop and about another 150 steep decline. I panicked and my rear wheel spun (this was a steep section) and I just leaned as far as I could to the left, even though it'll probably drop me. Amazingly, I didn't fall, and kept going. To be honest, I was too tired to really care about what happened....
