alright, i'd made this list a few years back as a check list for going to whistler. It encompases most things you'd bring on most any epic bike trip. I tried to keep it from being too personal to my own personal belongings that only i would bring on a trip. let's see if you have any edits or additions to my list, eh? try to refrain from listing your personal special belongings, cause we all know you're just trying to brag, haha...

if by "eat it", you mean i sliced open my shin, which is something entirely different, than yes i did... that doesn't mean i didn't keep riding. i probably needed stitches and a good cleaning, but i wasn't going to let it keep me from riding that day. i just wrapped it up, sat 10 minutes to let the bruising settle in, and went off jumping again. i rolled my neck a few too many times, making it too sore to move. I only didn't land on my head anymore after that.

"eating it" and riding at a foam pit go hand in hand... it's what the foam pit is there for.

i don't know if i alread posted it in my list, but...

FIRST AID KIT

it's all apart of the game. i never expected to not get hurt when trying my moto-whip, knack-knack, seat grab. i kept going just as hard afterwards. it didn't slow me down. find other terms to use, like "sliced open your shin"
