    I'm absolutely amazed you walked away from that, let alone smiled for the photos afterwards. Thanks
    for sharing. Damn - I don't want to see too many more videos like that posted up here!

    That was absolutely hair raising. I glad you survived, without a major injury. How did you end up
    with a Sycip are you from Norcal?

    You are fortunate. Makes life a little sweeter, doesn't it?

    I'm glad you're ok, but I have to admit I laughed my butt off when I heard your riding buds holler
    "are you ok?" then in a lower voice say "did you film it?" "yeah".

    A friend of mine did exactly the same thing, I here the click-click of pedals releasing and look
    back and there's his bike laying on the trail exactly like Miles's bike and he's shooting down the
    canyon wall leaving a trail of skin behind. Good bike saving instincts by all.

    Wow, you just kept going and going and going.... Great narration by the film crew. "<bang> Oh $hit.
    <plomp> O'$hit. <pow> Oh My Gaud. <boom> I know. <crack> Oh Fauk. <roll...> Oh hell, Oh $hit,
    OHHH!!..."

    Too bad about your hand, I've noticed that these often get used. 🙂

    Count your blessings cause' it looks like things could've been much worse!

    Everyday ride at a medium pace for about 10-20 miles. Also consume healthy doses of protein and you
    will heal up in no time -- guaranteed! Obviously, you must be careful with your hand. If you are
    worried about scarring, I've found that keeping your wounds covered and moist with an ointment
    greatly reduces it.

    Slacker - hopefully gets famous by a more low-key method


    come on Slacker, throw up some defense for the XC guys.

    as quoted from RM:

    "uhh guys Ive ridden that trail many times and where he falls is actually pretty easy. his bud just
    freaked him out by stopping and saying "thats a Hell of a fvcking big drop Miles Be carefull" its
    not a big drop unless he was talking about the bluff he rolled down. Ive taken several Boy Scout
    troops out there for day tips and if a bunch of 12 year olds can ride it I think that a grown man
    should be able to. I am wondering why he still has his lights on also? the tunnels are nowhere
    around that section. by the way I laughed my ass of when the guy says "Did you film it?"

    Hey how much does Real TV pay? Just got done watching that and Bill's video would surely qualify as
    well as some of their footage does.

  20. Since starting mountain biking I have given up tattoos and gone directly to scarification. Girls
    like scars and they are good conversation pieces.
