So decided to go out on MTB as thought it would be safer with the roads being so icy...how wrong I was!
Ouch! You were going at some pace. I hope you're Ok.
Did you fall asleep because it was such a dull decent?
Thanks Harris..recovering now...9 hours in AE with knackered leg, hip and shoulder but no broken bones luckily
Where is the trail ?
yawn, boring vid doesn't do any injuries justice (hope you are okay!).
Ha yes something like that! Plan For the single track decent thwarted by mechanical on my mates bike...
Hill of Fare, Aberdeenshire
Hey no bitchin about the trail. If the trail is dull, ride faster! Exactly what he did, and look where that got him! Ice, gravel or slush that did for you?
Get well soon.
My philosophy too midlifecrashes.....yes Track was icy and hard as hell, like concrete
Heal quickly OP! Looks painful!
Clever camera work, getting it to leap ahead of you to capture those magic first moments when you know that you are not dead coz it hurts too much 😆
What did you use to put the GPS data on the vid? Have you got plenty of frozen veg in the freezer to use as ice packs?
Dull !! I love those super fast descents can't ever remember being bored on that sort of thing. Deff looks like it was some ice that did for you, I especially like the grovelling on all fours before you collapsed onto your side, 9/10 for artistic interpretation 8)
Russell96..possibly filmed with a Garmin Virb..
Yes it was a garmin Virb...which is still intact although the mount was snapped off by my leg
I feel for you mate, healing vibes heading your way.
I came off a week last Thursday on Cumberland Clough (Macc Forest ish) and it didn't half ****in hurt!! Throwing yourself onto a very rocky track at 18mph is something I'd NOT reccommend 😥 Didn't break anything but did shread a set of bib longs and my right leg somewhat. No ice or anything just one of those things that happen now and again, hopefully that's it for a long while.
Back on the bike but it's still a bit tender
Carlos
Thanks Carlos - sounds like a painful one also!
Is the bike ok??
Oh, heal quickly!
Thanks Willard - think so...not had a Good look at it yet...Don't think it can be used as an excuse for a new one!
Half way through I starting tilting my phone. Has anyone completed this level yet?
