気が狂っている男
The cuck-o-burra is one of my favourite birds, so much attitude.
Last big mac I ever bought (roundaboots 5 years ago) was pinched by one of the fuckers........ he whacked me in the back of the head and climbed over the top of me for it.Great at stealing your food too
Trails where good, busy of course with long weekend. Well signed posted etcI turned 40 there. It was sensational. Bummer about the crash mid ride. What are the trails like at the moment?
That's the way! Push through.Trails where good, busy of course with long weekend. Well signed posted etc
Off didn't slow him down, pain just kept him a bit quieter...
When you started kicking backwards, it was lost. Just hate it, protecting a lead, loses so many games.Ha Idid get some good natured booing on the plane. Hostie asked me if I was alright on the way back must have looked a bit somber! Hopefully get to hit the dirt today that'll make me happy again
Looks like a pretty solid helmet so I would think it has only chipped off the shell. Did something similar to a dirtbike helmet and still kept on using it.I was going to throw open the question - do you think I need a new helmet?
Geee, not your week. I can't picture how you had time mid crash to put all of those pieces together. Good thing you absorbed the impact of soft ol' CF.Spent the afternoon riding in the quarry of doom. Unfortunately the ride was cut a little short when I had a bit of a crash. On one of the lines there is a bit of a rock garden with a small drop of about 1m in the middle. Approaching the drop I mistimed something and ended up off line and heading for a tree. I've pulled the brakes on and gone to put a foot down. Well of course there as no ground for me to put my foot and the panic began!
I was frantically tapping my foot around on thin air trying to find some purchase! My bike was falling...falling...shit!!! It's carbon and the landing is all rock. I can't fall onto that. I reached for the tree that fucked me over in the first place. Phew! My fingers got some purchase on the smooth bark of the gum, brief respite. I'm trying to balance myself and find the ground. I want to fall left so I can put my foot down on the flat run in for the drop. My hand slips and I fall right. I twist as I fall hard onto the rocks. WHACK!!! My bike hits me in the helmet quite hard. I'm not sure if it was the end of the handle bar or the leg of the fork. Whatever it was it hit hard! My helmet was spun side ways quite a few degrees and then the rest of the bike came down on me. I was very relieved the bike landed on me and not the rocks.
I was going to throw open the question - do you think I need a new helmet? I mean it's an expensive carbon helmet and I've had it a long time...I've never crashed in it before. It's still good yeah? A shame that the helmet goes out to such a weak arse error, but I'm glad I never really put it to the test. Big crashes suck. Real close to getting smashed in the face too!

Saw whales as well. They were really turning it on! Lots of breaches and huge splashes.
Nah it's cooked. It's a 661 carbon full face, so plenty solid. The impact mark is dinged in and fibres are roughed up etc (doesn't show up well in photo). The helmet doesn't align with my head anymore. Anyone else noticed this with other helmets after a reasonable impact? It's happened with another helmet as well. It is as though the helmet has changed shape a little. I've had the helmet for a long time as well. Fortunately got it on a huge sale and didn't pay the exorbitant rrp for it. Time for a proframe.Looks like a pretty solid helmet so I would think it has only chipped off the shell. Did something similar to a dirtbike helmet and still kept on using it.
Well after pulling the bike under control it came to a complete stop. So the accident happened at a very slow speed. Plus the fall was a couple of metres...so plenty of fall time.I can't picture how you had time mid crash to put all of those pieces together.
I think so, Need to hire a few armed guards to patrol the bike parking areas and maybe a big foam pit for those big air moments.@pink poodle you aint having much of a run of late, gotta be due some decent luck soon
we could wrap him in lots and lots of bubble wrapI think so, Need to hire a few armed guards to patrol the bike parking areas and maybe a big foam pit for those big air moments.
