Where are your mad MTB skills that would have allowed you to bunny hop the Cdale dude?

considering that the crash literally came out of nowhere, there was no time.

i was 3rd wheel front the front. only problem was that we passed two lapped riders, and either they freaked, or the idiot on the front did.

That's how BF likes it. Fresh from the crash, blood all over, still sweating from the effort and it's hot off the BF press.
