Unfortunate Bail

Foot slipped off the pedal, braked too much up front, kicked the rear out, tried to correct the steering..ass over teakettle. So. Much. Fun. Ended in some nasty face bruising, and a minor concussion. Finished the ride, and rode the next day!

 @boater yea the video really doesn't do the crash any justice, the log itself is about 30in tall and feels a lot further down than it looks. I basically knew as i was going over to launch myself off the bike and just curl up, and somehow just ended up landing square on my face, didn't even knick my helmet or camera! heres how my bike landed, should've put this in the clip: www.pinkbike.com/photo/11373157
and yea! the trail network out here is outstanding! literally world renowned quality and fun, the trails out here amaze me, and each time i ride a new one it just gets better and better!
