Well everybody I was hoping that I never had to post anything here, but here goes.

A few of us went to Paragon today. I'm not exaclty sure what trail we were on but I do know we had to come down Turtle trail. We were heading to some REALLY cool river crossings. Anyway, we were coming around this corner, and I was in it pretty hard. There is an old concrete type bridge down there, that has a large lip on it. Maybe some of you know were I am talking about. Well I came at that thing at about 30mph lifted the front wheels off the ground and when my back tires hit....................It shot me into the air about 7 feet!!!! (not the bike...just me!! ) Like a bull rider. As you can imagine I came down pretty hard. Tore up my elbow and shoulder a little bit, but fortuntly I had a helmut on or I don't think I would be typing this post right now!!! Put a big gouge in it! I also got a flat tire and bent both back rims. Other than that, and the pride being broken slightly. WHAT A GREAT DAY FOR RIDING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
