Crash

I've officially taken the nickname of "Crash" from Darren!

Tonight he and I went for a ride at Addison Oaks. I had two of the most violent crashes I've ever had on a bike. When I was younger I crashed all the time. Tonight it was different.

The first crash I lost control going around a tight corner and spilled. I landed hard on my right knee and then my head. Luckily I was wearing a helmet because I got my bell rang pretty good.

The second crash was right at the end of the ride. There's a halved log bridge (if you can imagine that) that is about 15 feet long. I just cleared the bridge but was slightly out of control and went off a drop off. I didn't pull my front tire up and my back tire decided it wanted to be in front. In other words I did an endo. The middle of my back landed on a stump.

Darren later apoligized for not being a good friend. When I asked why, he said he didn't have the camera ready!

Here's what my knee looked like after the ride.
