[QUOTE="CAL, post: 456494, member: 19233"] Gee, thanks for pointing that out! :eek: That incident was completely my fault. That was my third time on an MX track. I had turned about 10 laps and was actually clearing all of the jumps except the big table and the uphill stepup (I didn't even want to attempt them). I hit that little double in second gear when I should have been in third. I knew I couldn't make it, but though if I really rang out 2nd I could clear it. My rear wheel clipped it and kicked my sideways. I tried to ride it out, but instead I did a full body dive straight into the ground. I just knew I had broken ribs. After I caught my breath, I realized it hurt my bike worse than it hurt me. I ended up with about 6 bruised ribs, no skin on my forearms, and a really stiff neck. Apparently I tightened my neck and kept my head from hitting the ground. I think next time I’ll just let my noggin smack the ground. That ended my MX career at DW02. :ugg: At least I can show people the full length scratches on the front of my chest protector and say "those came from Cooperland!" ;) I also hit my head on a BIG tree and a little later, nailed two trees and went down HARD on the last lap of the Harescramble. I took it like a man and hopped right back on the bike, though. I knew if I lost 3rd position I wouldn't get a plaque! :silly: [/QUOTE]
