    I have been goaded into putting myself on this injured reserve list. I was jinxed by telling B.J Ru Newb about the fact crash can happen anywhere, anytime. It happened to me as I was just finishing a downhill stretch, big rig, little cog. Happened so fast I did not have time to think oh Schmitt I am going down. Probably why
    I am bruised on the left shoulder to the bottom of my foot. Normally when I crash I see the entire thing inn slow mo, this time it was fast fwd. I thought my head hit first sliding o9n the left crown, but there is no mark. They the left shoulder hit and skidded. This fractured my bone out at they end. when I stopped I was in dried pointed sticks of hard stuff, poking me all over. I got up and did not reconize the trail, I was 15 feet out in the scrub on a deer trail. Doc says it will heal in 8 weeks
    happy landings, I need to out and survey what hit my left fork.

    Ouch. The slow motion crashes are easy. Those sudden ones tend to be the killers. Heal up soon.

    What the hell, cagey. No like that. Sounds like it could’ve been worse, but those sudden stacks are shitty. Heal strong.

    I walked my bike ride today, went to the scene of the crime. A 10" piece of protruding bedrock shows signs of high point loading, it sustained a very hard hit. I had proposed my fork struck a rock, this one is too short. I am thinking a pedal strike? I did not feel it. But I did not know it was a crash until I was flying. I found my place on the deer trail about 12 feet out. no way I slid there. I Am thinking my strike caused the bruised foot. I believe me and the 29er flew above the scrub. This explains the helmet feeling like it was skidding, it was skidding across the top of the scrub. Also explains how my bike ended up with me. My math says I flew 23' including the landing.

    Running with a broken CB???? Ouch!!! Especially if you aren’t getting it plated back together.

    I attempted to ride about 3 weeks too soon(just a road ride on the mtn bike when I broke mine. Tried to pull up go go up a curb....the shock of the tingling of then it yet healed none reminded me real quick that it takes time.

    the thought of the bouncing and jarring of that bone while running, no thanks.
