thats not fair gazz... the accident wasnt yours so we cant laugh at you

one of many mountain bike accidents....

I was doing a trail near waterfall (nsw). it started heading down hill and being a fire trail it had wash bars... i was takling them in the usual way, ie doing about 50kph i was launching myself off the top of them "grabing some air". one came up and i thought i wonder what would happenif i tried to stay on the ground?.... the front wheel tracked the ground nicely but the back flung up in teh air! I travelled quite some distance on my front wheel trying to wrestle it down but failed and went flying. i tumbled and slid for quite some distance before stopping just before the edge of teh trail which went into a steep gully (which is where my bike ended up)... got a broken collar bone and a very scratched up back for it and a very briused ego
