I honestly dont know what I was thinking. I had a front brake, and was using it. (sorry I left these details out, meds are making me very spacey today). I dont know what happened fully because I do not remember. I'm going to ask a friend of mine who was riding with me. Ill update soon. As of now though, all that I am dealing with is some neck pain, and lack of being able to stay asleep.

I don't know if your looking for pity or not, because I don't feel bad for you at all, but it's nice to see that you're not too badly injured.
You did some pretty stupid ****ing **** and payed for it. Lucky you're not ****ing dead.
I mean, did you really think it would be a good idea to take a fixed gear bike, bomb down a hill with no brakes, and in addition take your feet off the pedals, your only means of stopping? Helmet or not, that sounds pretty damn stupid to me.

Well, it should be more than just the helmet because the helmet can't protect you from a lot. Hell, when I was hit by a car I received a concussion and lacerations, because the helmet shattered, while the rest of my body was just bruised and scraped.

Yeah. I was stupid to not have been wearing a helmet. I havent worn one since I was at least ten ( they dont look cool, duh!). Time to grow up, and just wear one. Sitting in a wheel chair doesn't look cool either, but Id rather look dumb in a helmet.
