I thought I'd charge through some woods woops stadium-style, and it didn't work out too well. The front tire hit the bottom of the face of one of the whoops and ejected me over the bars while I was in third gear. I was flying through the trees like superman until my face smacked a 6 inch one. Other than a really sore neck some bruises and cuts from the underside of the bars, and some rattled nerves, I was O.K. My helmet seemed to be hotter after the crash and after the race, i learned why. The mouth vent was completely filled with hickory bark. Learn at your own pace, as the consequences of a screw-up can be much worse when you're surrounded by telephone poles.
