Quality weekend despite riding like a turd on wheels. My second proper dh race and a steep learning curve. I was wearing my new leatt which I believe may well have saved me on at least 2 occasions. 1st run down I took a load of bark off a tree with my helmet, not too good! Then in seeding I properly buggered myself, was having a good run...... and then down at the bottom it all went to s**t. I think I cased a jump and I remember going over the edge and just thinking this is not good. Next thing I know my head is buried in the loam and the bike is on top of me. I pushed it off and lay there for a second wondering what was happening, I was pretty confused and suddenly remembered that I was at Rheola doing seeding, I looked up to see myself about 15-20ft down the hillside off the track. I then clambered back up to see a load of people slowly wondering down to see what happened. I finished my run andwent straight back to where we were staying, wasn't feeling great! I think I knockedmyself out but I'm not entirely sure. I was just really dazed and confused and theres a gap where I just don't remember what happened! Race day wasn't great, first run was all good until I lost concentration in star wars which I had nailed everytime in practice, only to go over thebars and twist the stem at 45degrees! had to get to the fire road and then twist them back. 2nd run, I tried to get a crank in, hit a rock, lost a foot, then lost the other foot on another rock and straight over the bars. All in all 4 face plants in a weekend, 1 blown front brake, one set of bars, one troy lee helmet and the paint on my top tube buggered! Bloody good fun though  James
