Our second annual downhill mountain biking trip to Whistler was great, it truly was. I would have preferred to omit the injuries, but sometimes the biking gods require their dues.A number of crashes spread over 3 days led to this fine collection, including:
* sliding off the end of a wooden feature
* slipping out in deep mud a couple times
* jumping off a box and casing the landing (again, due to mud)
* being an utter chicken shit on some table tops and just falling out of the sky (did that, oh, 3 times?)
Mostly, I was doubting myself and didn't go fast enough, so I got hurt. Oh well, at least I had a good time doing it and I know for next time - when it comes to downhilling, slow kills, speed is your friend.
Crack bruise photographer Nicole Feldl captured a couple of these beauties in the field, as you know a photograph never does justice so imagine them even more colorful.
