Thanks for the Help!

I just wanted to thank everybody who stopped and offered to help my buddy on Mt Seymour on Sunday. He had a crash on the road, heading down from the CBC lot to the CBC trail head. Unfortunately, we did not get the names of the people who did stop and help us, everybody seemed more concerned about my friends condition, than exchanging information. To the 2 mtn bikers in the white pick up truck, your help was invaluable, thanks for the cell phone call to 911 and helping keep my friend stable until the Fire Dept arrived. To the doctor and the first aid attendant, tourists I believe, thank you for your knowledge and time. I would also like to thank the Fire Dept, Ambulance Attendants, nurses and doctors for all their great work doing a difficult job.

My friend is OK, he ended up with a concussion and some bruising on the side of his body, but should be just fine with a few weeks of rest.

On the road? What happened?

That sucks. We ran into a guy with a broken collarbone when we were on the Huckwagon heading up to CBC on Saturday.

I bet he tried to manual and flipped

To prevent any more speculation, I will tell you what happened.

He was looking down at his back wheel and ran into the back tire of a stationary rider at about 50km, then tumbled down the pavement, of course he was wearing a helmet, but the impact was extremely hard. He will be fine, but was out for 3 to 4 minutes, so he ended up spending the afternoon int he hospital.

Best to look forward when riding at 50km/h.

Healing vibes to your friend. Unlucky incident.

:hurt:

Good advice Jay, I think those are words he will never forget.

A freekish incident for sure, you must always be vigilant when you are riding your bike, trails, road or pathways, there are always things that can come up on you unexpectedly.

i have scared the shit out of my self a couple times on that road.. you dont realize how fast you get going and things just come up way to fast… or when you get pinning it so fast the hole bike is shaking.. oh my.. hahaha

Healin vibes to your buddy.. is the guy he hit ok?

I am OK, broke my big toe (again!) and some major road rash from the gravel on the shoulder of the road. I was lucky, I ended up bouncing off the far side of the ditch in some shrubs, but I never hit my head, although I do feel like I went 10 rounds with Mike Tyson in his prime.
