cyclenut Posted September 17, 2008 Posted September 17, 2008 my mate / colleague (I haven't decided yet) took a tumble on the spruit ride this morning. He's slurring his words a bit - we think he's okay though as this is quite normal.
Alida Posted September 17, 2008 Posted September 17, 2008 Wow - he can be glad he was wearing a helmet.
Gnarly Posted September 17, 2008 Posted September 17, 2008 Did he have bootie's on? Damn Roadies. Hope he is fine. I also slur my words, most Friday and Saturday evenings.
supavan Posted September 17, 2008 Posted September 17, 2008 Do I detect secret training Mr nut? It's a good thing I beat you to it!
Tumbleweed Posted September 17, 2008 Posted September 17, 2008 hope he kept his receipt for the crash replacement!
Hog_ Posted September 17, 2008 Posted September 17, 2008 At least the helmet did what it was supposed to do. What happened? Did he do a half-front-flip?

[/quote'] just like my doctor - he's still practising - fortunately this was on the MTB - if it was on the road he would have been riding the specialised I lent him ... and if he took out his missus -then that would brought down the Merida that I've lent her ....

AndreZA Posted September 17, 2008 Posted September 17, 2008 At least the helmet did what it was supposed to do.What happened? Did he do a half-front-flip? Fell off the new bridge? Luckily the builders are anno anony not known.
cyclenut Posted September 17, 2008 Author Posted September 17, 2008 At least the helmet did what it was supposed to do.What happened? Did he do a half-front-flip? the offending rut from which he tried to turn out of - bad idea ... straight over the bars and landed on his head.
AndreZA Posted September 17, 2008 Posted September 17, 2008 Many times have those rutts cought out riders. That is wahy there are so many paths next to it. A few more will be added when the rains come.

Did he do a half-front-flip? the offending rut from which he tried to turn out of - bad idea ... straight over the bars and landed on his head. Is that the rut just after the little bridge at the start? Off Devonshire road? See the problem with half-front-flips is that you normally end up upside-down. Please tell him in future to rather do a three-quaters-front-flip or a full-front-flip. Not only do they impress the ladies much more that the half-front-flip, but you tend to use a lot less helmets.

I've been caught by one of those very badly. The big problem with the ruts on the Spruit is that they are narrow and deep. Once your front wheel is out, our back wheel doesn't join the party and your bike become a catapult. With you as the ammo.

Gnarly has very kindly agreed to sponsor the next helmet
Canaris Posted September 17, 2008 Posted September 17, 2008 now who is responsible for building such nasty ruts? Lets sue them.
