Faceplant

sunday ride on the mutant bike went well minus the incident on mile 6. first a little about the mutant bike.

I built it last night. I built it out of spare parts and its purpose is cross country riding. The trick bike and the trials bike never go off road and the down hill bike is way too heavy for cross country riding. So i built up a cross country bike.

Now, I wont blame the crash on the bike, but my unfamiliarity on the bike. It doesnt have the suspension as my big down hill bike, or the weight. On a semi-fast downhill section, things got a little sketchy over some rocks and I got launched. Face and shoulder hit first, followed by a roll.
Check 1: teeth - all there
Check 2: neck - craaaack craaack, all good
Check 3: bike - its still in one piece, sweet

After shaking out the cobwebs, and spitting the dirt out of my mouth we continue at a much slower pace.

Nice job. You look like Billy Idol after a rough night in 1986.

who wants to take bets on what ron's next serious injury is?

I busted my helmet on this one. No JINX or else you'll be my next injury.

Ron is Sparticus I'm telling you. But the next blow will fall to the wallet somehow.
