My stupid crash

Actually this would make a good thread topic. Ever come to a stop on your rode bike at an intersection, fail to unclip and keel over like a fainting goat? Ever fail to unclip on your mtb on a trail and keel over like a fainting goat (see a trend here?). Ever fly off the boardwalk at 6mr before the bridge on blue and make a nice body imprint in the swamp? Ever hit a 6 in elevated boardwalk and fail to unweight the front fork and fly over the bars? Ever hit who knows what with your pedal at high speed on a perfectly flat trail and fly over the bars? Just off the top of my head

Ever walk off the bridge on blue after the boardwalk when you're still learning and it seemed intimidating so you walk it and decide to look at the birds in the trees and walk right off the side of the bridge?

Ha I used to hate that rickety old bridge before it was replaced. Think I rode it once, hiked it every other time.

Yeah, it's great. I also got elbow protectors that worked great too. They really softened the fall. I'm a happy man!

glad your OK Pete....any metal crossings are risky.
The park should really make sure stuff like that is not left "exposed".
It is crazy how there are pipes with metal ragged edges left in place at so many of our parks.
