Ya, the jeans took the brunt of it, which is why my knee is fine. I got lucky, my pedal didn't. Also, my knees are fine, but my shins look like the surface of the moon from racing DH without pads.
And my foot is still a bit sore, but the doctors say it's coming along nicely, about 100% in two weeks or so. I stil cant ride any street but things like ramps with transitions are fine.
EDIT for East hill: yup, I'm up in Kelowna, right where the fires were a few years ago.
