The Love of the Ride (Crash)
Out for a lunch break ride when I find myself scrambling to get home in a flurry to clean up my mess after crashing hard on the wet moss surface. Listen to your instincts. When I placed the camera, I said to myself this looks really wet and slippery. Sure enough my thoughts were spot on! As of now Im feeling good with some heavy pain throughout my left ribcage. RideOn and always have fun!

There's nothing you can do when everything goes wrong. See a doctor to make sure nothing serious has happened inside your thorax. When I couldn't ride this summer because of some issues I had a little surgery and recovered just in time for the hardtails and kayaks adventure. All the best to you so you can RideOn!

The inside of my thorax is in terrible pain, I think I have might of hurt some ribs.
Then my right shoulder is just a little sore.
I will go see a doctor this afternoon, however I think Im in good shape.
I just need to take it easy for a bit and have a relaxing weekend, ahhaahhahah
I never knew you were in recovery mate!
Im super happy you have healed up in time for the HT kayak event!
RideOn!

Holy molly.. Amazing moment well captured!! You know your alive the most when you feel like you are just about to die.. hope you heal up fast and get your mojo back just as rapidly. Also glad you didnt pop your shoulder again.. Your face however may not feel so lucky

If you are going to crash, doing it in front of the camera is well worth it, ahahahahahahhahah
I got lucky, I fell on my left side, my bad shoulder is my right, so I'm not in bad shape at all.
Just some sore ribs so this weekend will be good time to relax to RideOn Next weekend! ahahhahah
I did have a good face grind, my forehead took a beating but the helmet saved me as my head was the first think that slammed to the ground!
It was a steep section so, when I crashed it was a funky feeling as I kept sliding on my head and couldn't stop! ahhhhhhhhhhh

Damn,Niko! First off, glad you are OK...too bad about the ribs, you'll have to load small ones for a couple weeks- But I couldn't help thinking I would not want to be in the way of you barrellin' straight at me like a freakin' Niko-sized cannon-ball... Sonic the Hedgehog... glad you're ok...black eye?
- + 1
hahahahahahhahahhah Im one big sonic hedgehog, ahhahahhahhah
No black eye, but my forehead got banged up a bit.
Then the real damage is from first impact in my rib cage! hahahaha

Time to take it easy, a few shots of golden whiskey helped last night!
RideOn brother!

You are very right!
I started riding and things were feeling good, just as my blood was pumping and I was getting into the ride, this section came up. As I placed the camera I noticed the ground was wet and slippery with lots of green moss covering the ground. As I was walking up I actually had an image of myself crashing.
ahhahahhahhahah Need to keep true to my heart and listen to my inner self!
Thank you for the energy!
My ribs are in dyer need of some freshness!!
RideOn!

Murphy's Law... Anything that can possibly go wrong, does 
You have traveled a long way on the grass... lol really "nice" crash.
That's why I use helmets with the light jaw protector
personally I use a urge anduro

Very good brother, I think I actually predicted this coming. I just didn't listen to reason.
However, on the good side, Im feeling good with some hurt maybe cracked ribs and will recoup for the next ride!
I will look into the Urge anduro, my new Kali hemet took a beating.
Having a light jaw protector sounds superb!

You did not listen to the little voice in your head? Well in this case I got to witness your nice turtle move. That way you are not stopping with your face hahahahahahahahahaha.
Hope you heal up fast bro!

My friend also had similar situation when he was trying to do ENDO on some slippery surface.
On the bike there is nothing worse than front wheel slip.
When this happens there is very little time for reaction.

Yes, exactly right.
When your wheel slips out you just need to realize the situation and keep strong.
All of my worst crashes have been from a slip down!
ahhahah

Good that you didn't lost teeth
But sometimes it is good to have some crash without serious injuries, then you will remember that you can't do some things.
In my country say: If you will not crash you will not learn.

Thats a good saying, learning is sometimes understanding your mistakes.
Just this was a stupid crash, it was a very easy section with nothing special just high speed, ahahhah

Yeah bro, us big blokes feel it, and instinct tells us our limits on a dodgy slippery section. I just bale out, hit the floor and try and roll out of it...the pain lasts a bit longer than when I was 18 though.

My daughter crashed this sunday too...full anaesthetic in order to patch up her knee...14 stitches and a nasty 4 inch scar

OH WOW! Your neck and body just crumpled !! IT-AH!!
Looks like the Kali held up (except for the visor).
Hope the side is feeling better!

Actually the visor just popped out, I thought it was toast but it snapped back together.
It really saved me as the ground was super slippery and as I crashed I just kept sliding on my head.
It was a weird feeling. The section was steep and mossy and I was trying to straighten out but I couldn't!
ahahhahahh
I have some cracks in my ribs so I will have to sit out for about another week!

Do not hurt? Buddy.
Injury inherent in fun ride.
I'm praying, that your injury heal faster.
Ride On !!

Yes, I had a good ride planned this Sunday but will have to stick it out.
I want my ribs to heal up so I can ride lots before the big Chill!
A crash like this really lets you know your age, ahahhahha
I remember when I was 20, I would brush it off and do it again! ahhahahah
Thank you for your kind words brother!
RideOn!
