I was the one who hopped his handle bars and landed in the drink on Frank's Loop.

It was a blast.  Thanks to SlowFatGuy for organizing this event and all the great riders offering tips and information.

Once again, another great ride.  Took most of northcreek to warm up from the cold. And that's me on the white cannondale/lefty.   We should look into a Lefty Skillz Day   ;D

I had a great time.  Missed krunch on his big bike since I rode my 8"/7" joker.  virg had the best crash of the day with a great save though, walking away with one wet foot in a tough spot to go over the bars.

You might have had the HARDEST crash of the day.  I think the ground moved when you went down.   ;D

Virg, that was one hell of a save you made, even if you got your feet wet.

I don't think I saw dev fall.  Where? and what happened?  Sounds like uberm got a good view of both.  I wish I made the 1st and last parts of the ride.

Dev fell coming out of Bridges somewhere.  Most of us were on the multi use trail waiting to drop into Rock Garden before we played in the pit and Frank's Corner.  I didn't see him fall.  Slowfatguy rode up and told us. 

I was still up top when virg did his endo/save.  But I was still able to see it from where I was.  I'm sure it looked even better to the ones standing down there on Frank's Corner.

I might have had the crash with the most style points, however the guy (didn't catch his name) that crashed at the bottom of the drop right before the turn on Frank's loop was pretty hard.  He caught the root which threw his wheel sharply to the right.  I had a front row seat on that one.

that was me. wasn't too bad, I just slid for a few feet. It doesn't count unless it draws blood.

Dev definetly hit hard, real hard. Got to see them both, hard to judge which was best. Virg got the style points, but Dev got hard hit at high speed points. Tough call!

Do apologize for not being there... I uh...well had a weekend long date with this new girl. Things went really well and I am trying to get her to go out riding (Alafia/Boyette). Sounds like you guys had a blast though, lots of crashes from what I've read...lol
