Ryan, Joe
Erin's first DH crash course. She broke her wrist on a gnarly section, riding my old Kona Coil-Air(xc). Joe and I ran up to where she crashed and wrapped her wrist in a Calastoga water bottle we found on the side of the trail. Motorcyclist Mikey gave us the shirt off his back, used it for the splint. Erin rode down with him. Joe then looked on the ground at the mangled Kona, picked it up and said,"you want to ride the handlebars?" Not thinking, I jumped on and had the craziest ride of my life, on the steepest trail, leaned back as far as I could with both of us overloading the air suspension meant for a 135lb rider, barley uni-cycling the front tire around corners, hauling ass, jokelingly I told Joe to let up off the brakes, and he did wow we should have wadded up, but survived. We were now looking at the ground at three bikes in the middle of a 5 mile trail. I strapped the frame to my backpack, the rims to Joes and we hauled ass down the trail faster than we normally would. I was straddeling a giant rut at top speed and the fork hit a tree on my right side, it pushed me in to the rut, i pulled up and over the foot deep rut to the left-hand side. These pictures were took by Fil, at the halfway road where Erin & Will were waiting to go to the hospital. Wow what an experience, and I am amazed that Erin stood with it!
