Could have been anywhere but it was in Squamish.

Note to self: Wheels on ground at all time please

Managed to snap my seat post in the process so standing all the way back, which hurt more than landing on my head.

I was on the floor for a bit checking myself for damage - something I always do.

Tyres of choice today were front 2.1 trailraker - rear 2.1 xcpro something or other - clearly the problem was I can't ride easy stuff

Trail was 'crouching squirrel' - I'd just finished 'rigs in zen' which too be fair was 10 times harder than that bit - oh well live and learn.

What awesome trails they have here.

Trailrakers? It looked dry as a bone! Some great crash noises, hope you managed the rest of the ride without any incidents.

Yes, that's exactly what I did 4 times on Tuesday, except I broke a chunk off my helmet!
