i went over a jump and grabbed the brakes. i was headed right towards my friends brand new $3000 bike. i hit it then went over the bars, over the other bike, over a log then landed on another log that i broke i half with my face. i crawled back over the log when the pic was taken so it doesnt look like i went that far but i did!
i rode up a mountain road that was 7 miles long and the climb increased as you went farther. i didnt prepare i just did it and when i got back i passed out and slept for 2 days. i wouldnt recommend it. i am even in really good good shape. i learned that preparing is everything.
