That brings back some memories - in my case it was a 4-5" stump, covered with leaves,
on the edge of the trail - caught my pedal as I was flying by. I never saw it - all of a sudden
I was airborne. I thought the front wheel had hit something, but friend riding behind me saw
what really happened. Endos are always such fun.
