 One night Last fall I woke up at 2am to go to the bathroom . When I was going back to bed I heard a low rumble "crunch" and the sound of glass hitting pavement. No skid noise at all. A drunk driver fell asleep and drove into a 60 ft Pine across the street at 40mph. The car was totaled and driver badly injured. The aftermath was a unsettling image . The Pine didn't flinch and is still standing tall and proud with a small mark on it as proof of the accident....Yes Trees gives zero f*cks.

 Hey everyone, hoping you can help me. If there's an object on the trail that I'm trying to avoid, should I stare directly at it? Thanks!
  • 17 0
 best advice is yes
  • 21 2
 Definitely not! You should shut your eyes when approaching obstacles to avoid the temptation to stare at them.

 Love the drop to faceplant into the puddle. Frosted lucky charms aren't so magically delicious when they are spraying through your nostrils. Note to self don't eat cereal while watching Friday fails

 Dude fell 'old'. Getting old sucks.

 Haha, the background at 3:45 looks silently disturbing, like a black-blooded alien smashed their head against the wall trying some other trick. I wonder if a body is still laying there by the bike?

 I think that's the first time i've actually seen someone riding a cannondale moto... Of what a weird and flexy blunder it was.
  • 1 0
 That’s me, years ago.... now i’m riding my brand new carbon patrol 2019.... and my riding skills are also better yet
  • 1 0
 @rmeneses74: You've sure move on, the Patrol is hard to fault.
I remember we tested the Moto for our magazine once - none of the testers got along with it. So difficult to pull, so over complicated, and so flexy at the back it was like having the bike fold in half on hard turns. I really dont think i ever saw one on the trails other than our test bike. Don't mean to dis, i'm honestly surprised Smile
