    Wow that sucks about your finger! Were they able to reattach it?

    Btw, Jamie tells me that the pics he took today include my fall! ButI'm
    not sure at what stage of the fall it is, or if it's at the beginning,
    just before the upd.

    I had a blast riding with everyone on my "local" trail! I was a bit
    dissapointed that my crank snapped off within the first 10 minutes of
    riding though...guess it's time to upgrade! Luckily I had my 20" trials
    so I one-footed back on the canyon road and grabbed it and then met
    back up with the group. BTW-a 20" is not the way to ride MUni....it's
    so much slower and bumpier it's not nearly as much fun as a 24".

    This was Justin's first MUni ride and he did really well considering he
    hasn't been riding for awhile. He'll be up to our skill level in no
    time! He took a few spills and got some scrapes but I don't think
    that'll keep him from getting into it. Terry by far took the best spill
    of the day. He's lucky he didn't get any more hurt than he did. Of
    course it happened to be on one of the hardest sections where if you
    fall forward and get launched, you have a steep rock decline to try and
    run it out, or roll it out as Terry did. Glad you're OK Terry! BTW-the
    first pic was a bit scary since it looks like you are standing there
    completely naked.

    A closer look at where and how it broke. I'm guessing this is just from
    wear and tear from abusing it over several years. I'm just thankful it
    broke on a realatively easy section and I didn't get hurt!

    This time John went for it all and skipped the middle step! He is in
    midair right now, even though it kind of looks like he's touching the
    rocks. Overall it was about a 6-7 foot drop and he made it after only
    one or two tries!

    I did exactly the same thing but with a metal ruler with a nick in it
