if that link doesn't work for you, wait for the video.

And yeah, I really did fall 150 feet or so, bouncing off rocks all the way down. I am smiling in the
carnage photos because I am a very happy man, and not a dead body.

We went riding today, and I crashed. Expect a video from Bill Porter soon. Riding back to the
cars was painful, and it really hasn't gotten a lot better since then. All I can say is that
crashing sucks.

No, I crashed. You CRASHED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bill "glad you're back from the E.R. -- how many stitches and any broken bones?" S.

Let us know. Hopefully its limited to the cuts & bruises we see in the pic (that's bad enough!).

I got a big, big owie. From falling off a cliff. And bouncing off rocks all the way down.

My hand is broken, but it should be ok in time to race in Tucson.

Bummer! Heal fast!

Here's a web based test to help you detemine which hand you broke. Which sentence hurts to type?:

#1: "A sad case as a wad"

#2: "ok, I only pull junk"

?

All I can say is YOU ARE DA MAN!

Heal up quick!

Damn, that looked like a nasty place to go cliff diving. Thank God you didn't get more hurt or
worse... you're a very lucky man!

Now I'll be thinking about this tomorrow at SJT :^ (

i broke the ouside (pinky) metacarpal pretty good. multiple fractures. i think the reason my hands
took it so badly is that i was trying to grab anything and everything as i ragdolled down the hill.
bill porter promised to have video ready this afternoon. i am curious to see how it looked from a
bystander's point of view.

miles

Miles,

Congratulations on survival!

But, more importantly, how's the BIKE!!!!!!

the bike didn't fall. in this link you can see the trail i fell from, and exactly where my bike
stayed. you also get a better idea of what i fell from, and had to climb back up.

Yikes! Eesh.... Glad you're mostly okay, Miles! Dang. That's a heckuva fall.

I hope you heal up quick, and kick some boot-tay at the race.

And you scrambles all the way back up yourself? Erps...

Ouch!!!

Congratulations on your early lead in the AMB "biff of the year"

A friend nearly had a similar accident last year, fortunately (?) for him the stick that impaled his
right butt cheek caught and prevented him from falling to far.
