Bit of a read but worth it
I went out for a cycle with josimarx tonight and he nearly died right infornt of me !!.
We were blasting down a side of arthurs seat he was in front as I didn't have any lights, then all of a sudden there was a splash infront of me and josimarx flipped over about 4 times and his lifeless body landed 8-10 meters from the ditch he roasted into at high speed his bike made about 15 meters. There was no sign of him slowing down atall he just gave hiself up and went all floppy, he also didn't make any noises, no wailing or gnashing of teeth, I shat it and demanded that he stay put and didn't move which he ignored and gibbered a bunch of nonsense for a couple of minutes. How are you doing pal? What year is this who is the president. He said that the crash didn't go into slo motion it was a full speed hell drive with the bike passing over him several times !!!.
It was the horrible'st funniest thing I have ever witnessed. I am shocked that he is alive!!

let me just say that the bike only flipped once – I was floating throught the air as it passed over my head, it landed on it's wheels and carried on for a good 20 metres from the crash site.
I'm okay though shuys, might take a photo of my leg if anyone's interested and can assess the damage. It will probably look pathetic.

glad to hear you're ok, but that pretty much happens to me weekly. the secret is knowing how to fall... it truly is an art in itself.
- josimarX0
exactly! Wish I'd seen it. I love watching folk totalling themselves on YBF.

yeah 2cent, 15 years of skateboarding helps.

too many actually.
glad you're ok though, josimar!

sorry.
be careful next time though.
i've learnt to anticipate on situations better.. cars, or better, their drivers, do fucked up things.. always ignore people on bicycles, like me..
one of my worst experiences when i jsut got this bike i have now and went offroad/downhill in this big forest with noone around and all of a sudden my frontwheel landed in a big hole with sand and my bike flipped over launching me in a ditch over 3 meters deep where i landed face down stretched in the mud, my head only a few inches from this big tree.
had it been a few inches further i could have become unconscious or worse..
while noone was around.
i know the feeling, man.

ok, that's a bit better. the pain's fading. Thanks guys.
Dutch boy – that's harsh bud. I was saying to Chossy, literally when I landed I was totally thinking 'I'm glad I went through that rather than him or a member of my family'. When you see it happening it looks nasty but if you're going through it, you deal with it.

You are not wrong josimarx it totally freaked me when I saw your inexerable spin. I was more frightened by your completely silent acceptance I was just waiting for your death throws.
I'd imagine.

- DutchBoy0
hahahahaa!!
sorry, josimar.. good to see you got some humour already.

shite the kilt Josimar, aaaiyaahoorya!
Thankfully I've not had any serious spills on my bike but I know the feeling exactly and can sympathise with how chossy must have felt too... was skiing with my folks in Davos and spotted a huge embankment (didn't see the large arrow pointing left) shouted back to my old man "dad jump!" and hit the embankment at great speed... what a classic jump it was, perfect in every way apart from the landing... If I hadn't pranged on landing I'd have gone 3 feet further and over the edge of a 1000 foot cliff....
when I looked up there was quite a crowd gathered all looking and pointing...saw my mums face of horror and then realised that my glasses had smashed cutting my face all around my eyes, probably the biggest shock I ever gave my family!Anyway mate, I'm glad to hear that you surived to tell the tale!
