Hi guys,
Well I haven't had much time to go out and ride my sled lately, so the other night I decided to go out for a night ride. Everything went well until, I was 1 km away from home. I hit a rock in the middle of the lake and I crashed. I was doing about 30 - 40 miles (Track speed) (I was in about 9 inches of fresh powder) when I hit it. My head hit the handles bars and I don't recall anything after that. It twisted the tunnel and smashed the hood and handle bars. Not sure about the sled now - if it's a write off or not. Insurance stages.
I'm posting this for the safety aspect only. I can see a crash if I was out performing or something, but it was a nice leisurely ride when it happened. It will get ya when you least expect it. Please ride safely!
Always wear your helmet. I believe thats the only reason I'm still here,and able to write this message!
