STOOPID BIKE TRICKS

Remember many moons ago? I talked briefly about stoopid kayak tricks? At least on a kayak, when you fuck up, you land in water, which is somewhat 'soft'.
You'lda thunk I'd learned my lesson right?

Not so fast!

On Monday I bought a brand new mountain bike. A big step up from the starter bike I bought last year.

Well this new bike, which is much lighter, nimbler, and has hydraulic disc brakes that can stop on a dime, gave me alot of confidence. Confidence to try some things I never woulda before.

Too much confidence apparently.

And judging from the sharp pain in my right shoulder when I try to move it (indicating a possible dislocation), the scrapes may not be the worst of it.

Next time... next time I'm clearing that damn ravine!
