Default Dang Sand

It never fails for some reason. Any time I go riding in the sand, I always tend to have some kind of trouble of staying in control. Well this, I failed. Took a high bank curve at 25mph. Tried to come out of the exit but the front wheel started to track upwards on the hill. Rear tire broke loose and dug in. Lost my speed and fell to the ground. I was able to hit the kill switch right before I fell. My backpack with its empty water bottles and my helmet really helped. I felt the helmet smack the ground. I just laid there, laughing. Got up, still laughing. And took 2 shots of this mishap.

You know......heaven is nice and all, like visiting your parents, but it sure is nice to leave.

Why am I laughing?

Oh yeh, someone fell off and it wasn't me.
It would be wrong not to.

Even thou it was me that fell, I still laughed.

Is it normal to laugh at your mistakes when having a good time?

That stuff looks like power.

Sand has taken me down more than once too. "More than once" is supposed to sound like a rare occurrence - right

The good thing about sand is that it is kinda soft.
