[bang] Does seem oddly wrong that men showing their butt cracks make more than topless dancers though. eh?  ???

Some scientists claim that hydrogen, because it is so plentiful, is the basic building block of the universe. I dispute that. I say there is more stupidity than hydrogen, and that is the basic building block of the universe.

Any bike pictures?  What kinda damage do you have to deal with (other than getting the frame checked)?

First was coming off the fast double apex on to the back straight ( can't remember that turn name ) and the second was coming up off wagon wheel.  Derek was behind him the first one and his camera screwed up, otherwise we'd probably have some video footage of that one.  He really wanted that one for instructional purposes.

I was really happy the only injury was bruises and a finger.  We know broken bones happen on highsides.  Very fortunate I think.  Scott secretly just wanted Jeff and I to load up his truck at the end of the day.  That explains the second highside.    [evil]

I KNEW there must have been a good reason for the second one ;D

-but hey, no plaster stitches or staples required... and that was for TWO of 'em.   [thumbsup]

DFW-MFer!

Isn't that tombstone? That is where I had my high side. My favorite turn actually.

If you're ever offered the opportunity to grind the top of your finger off, including the nail, on pavement at maybe 40, or 50 mph, I recommend that you politely decline.

Sorry to hear about the boo-boo. I hear that happens rather often actually. Did you get it caught under a bike part during the slide? How did it happen?
