Last summer, one of the most dare-devilish moves I have ever
made happened. Of course it wasn't planned....
Rushing down a very fast singe track, with a budy close behind I
was feeling the pressure of just how close he was. I was
hammering, and on the edge of being out of control- barely making
the turns. Finally I started to go off of the trail into the tall
weeds- weeds which were hiding a tree stump. Seeing this object
at the last second, I tried to veer around it and get back on
the trail- I ended up going over one of the tall roots, and after
getting over it I found myself with my rear wheel up in the air
about a foot. I was riding at around 20 mph balancing only
on the front tire. Behind me all I hear is laughter and 'Oh-my god'.
I managed to carry on like this for around 5 seconds ( a long
time to ride that way).
Somehow I didn't crash, managed to stop and after realizing that
I didn't crash I started laughing as well. It was
all my buddy talked about on the way back. I only wish I had
it on tape so I could see how rediculous I looked!
