[QUOTE="Trfsrfr, post: 224363, member: 3959"] Yesterday was my best day yet at the track. Corners we're coming along nicely, jumps were higher and farther than ever before. Today [I]started out[/I] great. Lots of water over night, fresh mud, track was watered and stayed wet. Lots of awesome riders, making huge ruts. Then came the 90 right hander into a small step-up that I've been working on for years. Got in the rut, squared up, and I thought "this is it, I'm gonna get on top", then hit the bump (that I didn't see) right when the soft stuff ended and the dry stuff started...was on the pipe when the back end hit the bump, unloaded the suspension, back-end came around, front end stuck and knifed...I went over the bars, flew about 10 feet, then tumbled about 8 feet down the side of the step-up. I left the bike and thought "oh here it comes, I wonder how this is gonna turn out"...luckily I stood up and am not injured. Wasn't a high-speed crash, but I was on it in 3rd. Damn this shit happens fast! Good news is bike is good! Got 15 hours on her now. Prolly gonna need another trip to the chiropractor though. Good times :) [/QUOTE]
