I rarely crash, but when I do, I have to say... it can be epic. I guess when I ride the mountain bike, I don't expose myself to too many bad situations, but every once in awhile I don't think ahead and I end up on the ground. On the rare occassion I ride my BMX, crashing is every 30 min., so I guess it's all relative.
The other day, I was riding Santa Teresa County Park having the damndest time negotiating the rocks after the rain started to come down. Climbing slick rocks is a biatch, so when I got the the descend, I was relieved.
Unfortunately, I wasn't thinking when I hit the wood bridge, and I instantly lowsided and bodyplanted pretty damn hard. I was going about 15MPH. Bruised left inner thigh, bruised right hip, bloody and bruised shin, skinned elbow.
Thankfully, the 29'er is SOLID, so I aligned the seat back forward and went on my merry way.
Until the moisture goes away, I'm taking the bridges a lot slower.
