AARP riders

Thanks; chalk another one up to “learn something new every day”.
 
I am only 62 but qualify to post here, lol. Sunday went on a mountain bike ride with my son and I crashed hard over a fairly fast downhill jump. I was feeling good, the trail/jump had a left hand bend in it and I was leaning into the bend when my front wheel washed out right as I went into the air. I did a sweet whipped out no footer, lol completely NOT intentional, but the issue was when it then became a no hander and a no footer and I was not on the bike anymore. Landed hard on my chest and then the bike smacked me good in the head.
You know how it is when you go down hard and can't catch your breath. It is worse when you get old. I am sure I was making weird noises and my son just shook his head. I told him wait 30 years and you will get yours too. lol.

Or maybe he received enough of his mothers genetics to avoid doing the crazy stuff his dad attempted at 62! ;-)
