Wiped out on the trail today
today going out with my sister for a nice 14mi ride we were messing around pretending we were on motorcycles (screaming motor noises) and i was flying around over 25mph and looked behind to see where my sister was and came up short on the turn and locked the back brake and slide sideways...BAM!! hit the ground hard. broke my pedal, bent the stem, the bars, and the levers. i replaced the pedals from an old pacifica and realigned all the parts and is all good. but man i didnt fall off a bike for years and it hurt.
now i think i need to get the 1000 and crash that one too

Haha, I wish I would have took some hi-res pics of my last six foot drop for a macro. "You're not hardcore unless you can see raw muscle"

Hardcore? Does 2 broken ribs, road rash, and a softball sized hematoma (or two) count?
