MTB Skate Park Crash

I am at the Bottom Right.

06/23/09 at the local skate park riding on my back up fork (RST T8 Launch) when it snaps at the crown and catipults me straight into the asphault head first. It would have been a perfect landing as I didn't case or over shoot the landing. Spectators claimed I was over ten feet in the air.

When I landed all I remember is hearing a cracking sound and my head meeting pavement. The wheel proceeded to roll away and hit the fence at the other side of the park.

I was wearing a full face helmet (Bell Bellistic) so I came out with some road rash on my shoulder, a friction burn on my neck from the force at which I landed and only four stitches to my left brow which may have been cut by my visor.

Haha, yea man I made it out alright and I am still riding. Right now I'm riding an Argyle 318 and it is by far the best fork I have ridden. The reason why I was riding the RST was because my Marzocchi DJ2 blew the seals so it was getting repaired. A couple of months later the DJ2 blew out AGAIN! I still have not sent that one in but when I do I'm selling it. After it blew out the second time I got the Argyle. I would suggest the same for you. The DJ3 is also a bad fork.

Actually R(epetitive) S(train) I(njury) is a possible issue with playing WoW. Also could suffer from high blood pressure, irritability, hemroids and GF aggro.
