I always answer, "Yeah....I am...but sweating doesn't hurt. Road rash does."

Sweat you can wipe off, skin grafts are a bit more permenant

Ya because keeping up with the cycle of bad habits is the best thing, right?

Did you dad get drunk and beat you too? Cause that's worth passing on to the grand kids!

You guys are fags! Don't you know chicks dig scars! He'll have it on his forearm... he'll be fine.

But that is a wierd crash... I wonder what he did.

Isn't it obvious? He 'had to lay it down'

Actually, that looks like the tail end of a high side.

According to the definition of the word fag, you are the fag. Sorry, South Park has redefined the word.

Let me rephrase this where it's in your native language.

Brah bra brah. Brah brah brah brah bra bruh brah. Brah bra brah. BRAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

I looked all over for additional photos of that crash....couldn't find them. I was curious about what brought the crash about too.

How in the world would he manage a high side when he wasn't even to the apex of the corner yet? Assuming I'm interpreting the photo correctly. I would have thought he was still breaking or maybe throttle neutral at that point.

In any event....the judge in Kansas gives him a 7.4 for his dismount. Though his faceplant was nearly perfect, I marked him down for not holding a complete pike position all the way through the landing.

Tubby grabbed a handful of front brake mid corner. Panic braked.
