Oh, you want to see a really lame crash at BPW? This is on the A470, I must have just not noticed the drop-off. I actually knocked myself out briefly, because the first thing I said to my mate was "where am I?". He freaked out.

You obviously didn't read the comment posted with it, I believe you have been on a ride with me - can't remember you keeping up very well.
Easy tiger! It was meant very tongue in cheek, sorry if it didn't come across that way!!BTW: If you'd like a race some time, i'm game........ ;-)

What gets me is the crashes are almost always on the innocuous stuff you are not bothered about riding, when you get to a big feature for the 1st time you may stop, look at it think, hum, unsure but will give it a go, you ride it no sweat, then fall off on an easy bit you've done 10 times before without a worry.

I am currently nursing a fractured C7 vertebrae after landing on my head going over that one last Monday! I'd done it twice already that day, just stopped concentrating for a moment with unfortunate results.
Well, i suppose that makes me feel slightly less of a tool! It is pretty dark among those trees, so easy to not gauge the drop.But hope you get well soon! Hearing about neck/spinal injuries does worry me more than just "normal" bones being broken.
