Ouch
I found out the hard way that Slippery Dip has had some water bar work recently. Can't remember how long I was in the air but I know I landed front wheel first and came to a stop 36 meters from the jump. How much of that was sliding on the ground I can't say but I split my helmet, tore all of my clothes and have cuts and bruises on every part of my body. I remember the helmet going "sqoosh" as it absorbed the impact and then waiting for it all to stop. Reckon I must have been going over 40kph but will have to check the GPS to be sure.
The biggest crash I have had for sure, I reckon I got off lightly.

That'll bruise up nicely.
Hope you're not feeling too sore.
I had a stupid tumble last week at the last rock section before the concrete path to the Dam wall, landing on my chest with arm tucked up in front. My ribs still hurt too much to commute to work on the bike. My daughter commented today on the fat belly I'm building. You can always count on kids to be honest.
Hey Dylan, did that happen before or after we rode down that rocky walking trail at Forrestville? If you stacked it before then, you are pretty brave to keep on truckin' the tech stuff while sore and sorry.
Heal quickly mate.
Nah, that was after. I went to Belrose to get a new cable outer then rode to oxy, then rode down S.D and fell off. Simple
S.D has recently been graded so I was going much faster than I usually go down there..
That rocky tech stuff was cool though huh?
