Crash

[Dave31]

What a idiot! I was suppose to turn right before the camera not after. I Was going way too fast to do anything about it so i went flying over the bars.

As soon as I pass the camera you hear the engine rev up...thats when I was flying in the air. Then you hear the AAAAAAUUUUUGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!! thats when I hit the ground and the wind was knocked out of me.

Like my parents used to say to me when I was a kid. What did ya do that for?
Happens to the best of us! Hope your OK?

 

[Goat Herder]

I don't wanna even share some of my crash stories. I remember when we were kids we all thought we could do the best jumps and stunts [invincibility]. It was always a little fun when ya get to tease one of your ornery buddies. I miss those days! lol. Brought back some memories.

AAAAAAUUUUUGGGGGGHHHHHH is not what Superman says when he's crashing outta control until he get's the wind knocked outta him! You can't hurt the man of steel, but OUCH.....that hurt's! Hope yer ok Dave....that sounded kinda nasty. I wish the camera well, as well, as I'm sure it felt your pain....both have a speedy recovery!

Wow that would make a really great video if you did that about 25 yards sooner. Can we have a do over?

J/K, Hope you're OK.

 

[biknut]

I got a idea to spice up your next video. Get a coffee can of gasoline. Make a ramp to jump your bicycle. Place the burning can of gasoline at the end of the ramp, and jump over it. Trust me you'll be great at it.

 

[bairdco]

that sucks dave, and i'm sorry for laughing...

 

[Dave31]

I sprained my wrist and severely bruised my palm of my hand. My right hand and arm is so swelled up today.

 

[biknut]

Heres to hoping you heal up fast.

My bikes getting to run fast enough now that there's been a few times I've been considering how much I'd get hurt if I went down on it at speed. When I was younger I wouldn't give it a seconds though, but now I don't wanna.

 

[2door]

I didn't laugh, I swear, I did not laugh.
But I was hoping there would have been a reverse angle shot. Next time, use two cameras. One pointing one way, one the other.
Glad the injuries are not serious, David. Be careful, buddy; none of us are getting any yonger.

And some of us weighed almost as much as the bikes we were doing the stunts with,lol

 

[Mac]

I'm glad to hear I'm not the ONLY one that wonders as I'm riding.... If XXXX failed now, it would hurt! I remember old Evil Kinevel, we used to make ramps with old car tires and construction scrap, light a huge fire in the jump area, That was a few years(ahgemm...) ago!!

[killercanuck]

Brutal grunt! That's one rocky path, could've been worse, eh? Get well.

 

[Dave31]

That's one rocky path

That is a wash that goes from the Tucson Mountains and empty's in the Santa Cruz River. Its mostly sand and rocks.

[corgi1]

OMG,,how do you keep tires on the bike,I would be doing good just being able to walk through those bad lands,(guess its too rough to walk ,so got to ride,lol)

 

[fasteddy]

Dave, glad to hear it wasn't worse , bad as it was. Often wondered what it was like when someone else did it. It's no less painful. Heal up well.
