Ideas are bullet proof.

What do you figure took out the two bones in your feet? You
landed on em?

it occurred at about 8:00 am , when deer are usually home watching
saturday am cartoons.

feet were slamming the pavement at each tumble, i am pretty sure i sort
of tumbled rather than slid.

ouch. a layman's opinion is you'll recover 100% given a little time.

good gear rules supreme.picture bermudas, a tanktop and flippers... or
better, not. ouch-expontential...

 

Ouch. That's going to require PT to strengthen all the surrounding
muscles. Work hard at it; get well.

Yoicks!

Let's get some planetary scientists from NASA to examine those impact
craters on your helmet! Good thing you had that on, else those craters
would be on your head. =

 

Probably roughly the perentile who wear helmets.

 

what i noticed were at least four separate "directions" in the gouges,
indicating four individual impacts, supporting my impression of bouncing
a number of times before coming to rest in the ditch.

Only someone who has fallen a thousand times can call himself a Judoka.

You're right, but that kind of thing takes training and practice.

 

Stephan, I hope you can remember your Ninja skills next time you're
thrown from a bike at 60mph.

That's not right!

Glad you won. Hope you recover quickly.

Wolves my A-double-S! Allow hunting in Marin again. Not only for deer
but the sh*tload of wild turkeys and hogs as well! Besides providing
EXCELLENt meat, the act of thinning these pains in the asses out would
benefit us all. Enviro-PITA-type wackos be damned!

 

Sounds good to me. Venison sausage is tasty! And who doesn't like a little
wild turkey every now and then?

lol

as if there was anything like self control at that point!
no offense , but thanks for the laugh..
think about it .000001 seconds to plan how not to fall?
considering the actual outcome, i wouldn't go for a second attempt to
better my chances.
besides it was more of an explosion than a fall if you want a better
description
JS

 

yeah that's a very good description of a sudden and 100% unanticipated
impact. more like being shot out of a cannon than getting flipped by
some ninja.
keeeeeeee eyyyyyyeeeee
bonk
nah...never work.

Indeed... if only I'd spent my time in Ninja school instead of riding
and track schools.

Greg.

 

There's a story about a lord who wanted to hire a master
swordsman. As a test, he called them one by one into a
room where a man hid behind the door ready to attack them.

The first swordsman entered and was struck.

The second swordsman entered, detected the attack and
parried the blow.

The third swordsman, before entering the room, warned the
man behind the door not to try it.

So if you'd really been at the top of your game, rather than
falling off the bike the right way, you'd have warned the
deer not to try it.

 

Ninja Roll, or Fosbury Flop? I think I'll just try and avoid deer
instead of training for highjumping.

Hmm, thank you I will do that right now, good idea after beer in the
pub. I will sleep tonight. )

J.

AHh, the advise was not for me? Bugger, to late.. )

 

You can never plan for what is unseen to you as a beeing, what you can
train to do however is to react when you realize your in for it..

I have never done any training like Stephan describes, but I have a
short stint as a go-kart driver behind me whilst alot younger.

What you learn from all that track experience is engraved into your bone
marrow for ever(I asume a normal up and about being here..).
My only clame to fame was that I raced Michael Schumacher when he won
he's European championship in go-karting formula Intercontinetal.

Practise and practise again ensures you to respond to a situation better
than the person without.
Where does these ramblings take us you wonder?
Simply: If you are trained to react in a certain manner in a given
situation you are very much better off than going cold turkey...

As in, getting yourself into trouble in/on any vehicle and realise shit
is about to happen, you react accordingly.

Now, if you where toddling along down the road and a semi hit you from
behind doing a 100 you would be in the shits unless you very so agile
you caught it in the mirrors....
