My crash looks like its in slow mo. I was on top of that rock and just...... stopped.

Feeling saddle sore this morning but besides that I feel great. Let me know when you guys are taking another slow ride.

Your sit bones are tender


Good job for a newb!

Nice Video. I rode a trail with similar rocks a few weeks ago. BIggest issue with my riding is keeping my stooopid head up!!!!

This rock wasn't as big as yours, but you can see my head down, ARGH!!!

I didn't screw with the speed of any of that video. Wish I had taken the time to find music but it was so short that I just wasn't up to the task (plus my knowledge of music isn't too great anyway). You did great, Grassi! You handled that crash like a champ!

Were you wearing padded liners last night? They do make a difference. I only started wearing them on the ride before last night and it's helped a lot.

I think we all do that from time to time. It's like not looking far enough ahead when you're new to skiing. But once you get more comfortable, you realize you can actually look ahead and not crash. (I don't look ahead much at this point, though... )
