Everything from my jaw to my chest to my shoulders hurts. I feel like I got in a fight with Mike Tyson.
Oh well, that's riding. I am fine and so is the bike. Nothing like a good crash to remind you that you aren't invincible.
I came through the sweeper slightly faster than the previous lap but I maintained my same line instead of starting wider and cutting in later. The front end started to chatter a bit more then I was comfortable with so I (stupidly) chopped the throttle, at which point the bike immediately stood up and I target fixated on the haybale that was quickly approaching. I hit the haybale and went over the bars (as is painfully obvious.) Before hitting the ground the last thing I remember seeing was the seat of my bike directly above me and upside down. I hit the ground and took a direct hit to the face; it felt like I had just gotten hit by a linebacker. After the world stopped spinning I looked up to see that my bike had done nearly a complete flip and was lying on its side atop a haybale. My ears were ringing like crazy and stuff was flowing out of my nose. It tuned out the ringing was only temporarily and I was leaking something that wasn't blood out of my nose. Thanks to all the guys who stopped to help out and a special thanks to Vision's dad for helping me get my bike back to the pits.
Hey did you ever have a doctor tell you what that was coming out your nose? I ride freestyle moto and had a crash where I landed on my head, I had a concussion and the same thing. I thought I had somehow broken my nose, but it was whitish green viscious fluid.

It was just snot. I remember feeling my upper lip become very wet but I couldn't feel what the stuff was because of the gloves. I just got scared because I thought I was bleeding heavily out of my nose.

Nope, just a mild concussion and a sore back from having a 250+ pound bike land on me.
