2019 has been an eventful year to say the least.
We travelled to Sedona to ride the White Line.
We spent three weeks in Whistler and rode the famed Dirt Merchant Jump Trail.
We also said goodbye to Berm Creek and introduced Berm Peak, the new home of this channel.
Amidst all this traveling and moving, I somehow remained in one piece.
Assuming we make it another two weeks, this would be the first full year since 2012 that
I didn’t admit myself to an emergency room—oh yeah I got an x ray on my thumb, but that
wasn’t technically an emergency room visit, so today we celebrate.
Here are all the times in 2019 that me or someone else walked away from serious injury.
you okay? are you alright, you sure?
My left ankle hurts a little bit.
Whoah what are you...what's the matter with you?!
I lost a pedal and looked down to place it again.
Seth's about to hit the airbag for the first time, I told him to go a moderate speed.
are you okay?
Is your bike okay? I'm sure your bike is fine.
Oh hey there guys!
God, that hurt.
Oh my god.
Dude, it's so wild.
Every time, I'm afraid.
Are you alright?
Let go of your brakes!
Lay down, lay down buddy, lay down.
Dude.
Ahh! That was too steep.
Yeah when I went off of there I knew I was doing it crooked.
Yeah, you get your ear? Yeah.
it bleeding?
I don't know.
Nah, you're good.
I did not expect that to happen so easily.
We did not need a chainsaw for that, that was dangerous.
There's a lot back there that you can't see.
That's always part of the risk.
You gotta be careful, buddy.
uh... I think I just smashed my chainring again.
Ripped my pants down!
So, that’s 2019 in a nutshell.
Hopefully in 2020 we can have even fewer close calls, and focus more on building cool stuff
to ride bikes on instead of healing.
