Stacked it!!!

[Ruby]

Woohoo. Me and a buddy went out to Lonsdale yesterday to teach a friend of mine to ride (not bad either), and in between lessons we took his Honda 125 ourselves for a few jumps.

I'm getting over this "using road racing skills on the dirt" bug that I have, and I'm getting better on dirt. Its been over 10 years since I seriously rode dirt. Well did a few sighting laps of the jumps being a pussy and working out how to take them, and then I started going for it. I was getting some seriusly good jumps too, until I landed quite heavily with the back wheel and the bike was all over the place. Down I went into a cloud of dirt and dust. LOL. This morning I woke up and I've got a massive bruise on my shin (just under the kneecap) with a few potential scar-leaving wounds. Bwahahahaha! I'm still laughing my arse off. I can stack it at Mallala on my race bike at 130+kph and walk away, but stack it at 30-40kph on the Honda and **** myself up!

My friend did really well yesterday. She's now ridden a total of 5 hours (on and off) since having never sat on a bike before in her life, and she was going up and down gears; taking corners at a good speed; and we even threw in some jumps for her (2 feet if that LOL) and she had a blast. AND she got to have her first stack too. But mine was better!!!

stacked last weekend - spun out on the same corner again and did my knee - that night was walking home from a party (pretty drunk)& tripped over & skinned the knuckles on one hand, cracked a rib or 2 as well - had a rest this weekend from riding but hanging to get out there again. My 43 year old body doesn't heal as fast as when I was younger- but it's hard to slow down

I was wearing my road riding gear incluidng draggin jeans. The handle bar caught me just under the knee and where my boot ends.

LOL. Its turning a nice black & blue colour now!

Told my brother today at mum's place and he asked "when did you start riding dirt again?". He knows me and dirt don't have a very good relationship. LOL
