 i see you may have a bumpy ride?
what kind of rim was it
  • 1 0
 WTB Laserdisc FR- They lasted for 13 races- this photo taken on the 13th- my first DNF in 3 years of racing- probably not my last. I was impressed with them for the amount of riding time logged. Yes, I would buy another set. (in case you were wondering)

 Nothing would have survived this crash- it was my poor judgement- hitting a lateral ravine a 30 mph will fold any rim. Although- I would like to give Azonic's a try- heard they hold up well to race seasons.

 oh damn! lol i didnt know that happened. your face didnt get messed up?

 No, my wrist, my right thigh from bashing the bar on ejection. Hit this one spot with sand- felt like a mattress. I jumped up- and my bike didn't move- took me a second to realize I just made a Taco! LOL- yeah- pushed back up to the start- first race (and only) clipped in.

 Nice form. You've almost made an infinity sign, as opposed to the more basic single fold taco. Good work.
