[QUOTE="KXsteve, post: 109115, member: 22669"] Hmmm, I laughed when i read the title of this thread, only because i have only just high-sided TWICE last weekend. Man am I sore, i think I have stuffed a rib :eek: I was gassing around an uphill right hander, with the tail out in a nice alide. It was wet sand, and then there was a patch of compressed rocks, or sandstone type stuff. Anyway, it was VERY slippery. You can imagine what happened to the rear end once i was on this, round she came..... till I hit the ever so grippy sand again........FLIP, over the high side I go, and CRUNCH, into the ground, shoulder first. This all happened so quick, that even if i knew what I was doing, i couldn't have gotten out of it. I picked myself up, continued along the track, over a section with 3 jumps in a row. Over the last one, which has a blind landing. Seeing that it was wet and muddy, there were some big water ruts in the landing area which head off to the right of the track, diagonally. I land right in the rut, so the bike automatically goes RIGHT on the landing, but momentum makes ME go straight........over the bars and onto the SAME shoulder again :scream: Safe to say after that I called it a day. Sorry for the long post, but i had to tell someone about my lack of skills!! Steve [/QUOTE]
