Investigating...

I went back to my crash site today to see if I could figure out what went down. I found some of my blood and my busted sunglasses, right where I abandoned them. Still, there wasn't a lot of explanation for what happened. In general, I aim for sticks because it's fun to make them split into pieces and rocks just fly to the side. I'm usually going too fast for them to disturb me. I was hoping for inconsistency in the pavement as a cause for the skid, but it looked like a pretty standard section of street.


The woman interviewing me today said that she had had an accident dirt bike racing once and, at the time, thought she was a pretty skilled rider so it was hard for her to say what caused her to crash. It was nice to hear that and I told her that I felt the same way about my accident.

Hey there,

Thanks for the post!

About the gashes--I fell in mid-January, it's now May and I still have scars--but yes, they did heal.

It's going to be tiresome though. If you don't have them properly covered up, you'll have to wash each wound two times a day, and keep it moist. You'll have a whole lot of puss to contend with, and it'll sting a lot of the time, but don't let it get you down, that's just the way it'll be. I never got stitches, because I was in Thailand, so you might have an easier time of it.

But be proud! It only happens to the best of us!

Yeah, glad to hear you are doing well. I'll be sure to leave my blades in Columbus next time for I don't need any stitches!!!
