my worst ride landed me naked infront of my collegues! I did an amazing endo, then proceeded to slide (with my bike still attached due to clipless pedals) down this huge boulder infested hill. Needless to say they had to airlift me out of the park that day. Ironicly i work for a shock trauma unit and i have taken care of many of my fellow mt. bikers in my day. This time it was me, not fun at all! So there i was with a broken nose, broken tailbone, fractured rib, and a dislocated shoulder. The fun part is when you arrive at the hospital they cut all your clothes off. I was consience at the time, and I begged them not to ruin my nice new OAKLEY mtb shorts! It didn't help that i knew all the docs and nurses that were there standing over me. My shorts weren't the only thing that got ruined, lost my bike that day too. But needless to say, I had the best care possible and was back on my NEW bike in 6 months!
