coaster brakes, parked cars, and big bikes

[false]

i ate it pretty solid during first run last night.

i was coming around a right curve with a left
lane trajectory which put me in a particular
situation: kiss the parked cars with my lips then
my ass or send myself and the big bike rider in
front of me sliding down the pavement.

i jammed my brake and of course it locked,
i flew over my aerobars, skidded 10 feet
between the rider and the cars and managed
to only get some road rash and a tibial plateau
fracture:



that jabby bit is supposed to be flat. right now
i gotta rock a full leg brace and these delicious
vicodin. tomorrow i have to see an orthopedic
surgeon, as it's likely that my PCL is torn.

i did bomb (albeit rather slowly and disoriented)
the rest of the
hill, and wanna give props to Team Medic for their
care and expertise, A-ron for making me sit down
and let them do their thing instead of trying to go
back up the hill and Handsome Dave for being so
pretty.

Also Eamo for cutting his last bomb before leaving
town short to get me back to his place and keep
me drunk enough to fall asleep. Somehow we
couldn't find the down elevators, so we retardedly
decided it was a good idea to do hellway to get home.

tl;dr

fanks, i'm gonna do my best. pretty much out of a job as i wont be able to stand or cycle
for a few months, but it looks like i'm super eligible for financial aid thanks to being
poor as fuck, so hopefully that will take care of the hospital bills.

yeah, Eamo grabbed it and i just talked to him, he still gots it. it's a totally sweet bucket, btw. do you need his number?
PM if you do. and thanks for your help and your concern. it does totally suck, but i missed the cars and didn't
take someone else down with me, so there is a retrospective silver lining. dunno how i'm gonna manage not
pedaling for so long tho... thanks again

just for clarification....................

you have aero bars and a coaster brake?

[false]

yeah yeah yeah...

the aero bars where supposed to be an aesthetically driven joke,
but once i got going i couldn't resist racing position. also, i did spend
several hours before leaving for the hill trying to get any number of
pull brakes/brake lever/brake cable ball combos based on the gear
i have to be effective, to no avail.

more armor, actual brakes next time maybe.

good idea      i heard about this and had to laugh at the idea of aerobars with a coaster-brake

[false]

well it's a hell of a price to pay for someone to get the joke, but obviously it was worth it.

I told him before the run that he was gonna eat it.

:: FOR THE RECORD :: Nik definitely earned his "Psychopath Badge" that night. Y'all should have seen him on hellway. I told him before hand that we could just family-ride it and he hit it full out with his broken ass leg perched out in front of him wobbling all over the place. I was behind him with both our packs and two helmets hanging off me trying to keep up. Hats off brotha, good show.

[false]

yeah, you did. i'm pretty sure i agreed with you, but i live for danger and only cry for movies.

it occurs to me that we could have been wearing those helmets on hellway. and it was
kind of a dick move to haul so fast when you were carrying all our shit, but i was motivated
by adrenaline and pain. thanks for the black-up, eamo. if being crazy and stupid makes me
a psychopath... well, i guess that makes sense, actually.
