Default First good crash (Pics+short story)

Heres how it goes,

Starts off, and its a wonderful day at rundle!(local riding spot) a nice tail wind for the speed boarders the catch some more speed. My brother did a few runs, and he looked quick. With the tailwind, he was right on my ass almost the whole way down. Either right behind me, or to the left. At the end of this run, there is a really REALLY nice left hand 90* corner, you don't have to put your hands down, your grab the rail, and just sail through it. Its just a really nice corner with some slight banking. As we go into the corner, I hear my brother say say "Im on your right" but really hes on my left. I swing closer to the left, expecting to give him some room to pass. Intsead, I get right up into his board and wheels. I take him right out. His wheel goes under my luge.

At this point, It felt as if my wheels melted, i slowed down suddenly. Next thing I remember, he was ontop of me, all his weight on the left and it caused me to flip over. I flipped over STILL holding onto my luge, and my top of my body was scraping the ground as I slid straight for the curb, with my brother ontop of me with my luge ontop as well.

I slid for about 20-25 feet upside down and then letting go after a little while and smashing into a curb with my hand and shoulder/ribs on the left first.

I stood up and looked for my luge, upside down next to the curb, then my brother, who was already standing up. His arms were bad. I felt fine, had my leathers so I knew I didnt have road rash.

When I went to grab my luge my finger hurt, and saw a hole was right through my glove and i was missing half a finger nail. It hurt, but I was fine. Brother on the other hand not so well. His arms were bleeding and had good road rash.

We were both fine, but my luge suffered a bent kingpin and a bent hangar. As well as a bad mark on the bottom.

This is the wheel mark on my luge. Its MELTED on.

This is the lemon bigzig that went under me

My bent grizzly hangar

As you can see, theres a mark from the wheel, then two lines symetrical which are my handles against the ground, and theres a few from my leathers and helmet.

battle scars


Wearing my leathers saved me

Knee pads and thats it. I had my leathers on, but my gloves tore.

The marks on the road are from his wheel, my luge handles and my helmet and leathers

I do hope you forgot to mention a helmet in there.
