Do you think people can fly???
or do you think people can be free from gravity??

I guess not....
but my friend, 2tall tried......

According to his report,
He tried to fly using his lovely mountainbike at Tamagawa dote...
BUT he barely went over the handle bar.... and smashed into ground...
Oh poor 2tall...

Do you wanna know what he got from that??
1.His collar bone displaced...
2.Broken rear rim...
3.New 36spoke Mavic rim with XT hub!! (so he won't break his rim again...)
4.and most of all, he now understood people cannot fly using MTB.....

"People cannot fly using MTB...."
This theory seems easy to understand (or common sense??)...
BUT! we saw E.T. flying using bicycle...is this only in movie??
Not only 2tall, but we are always trying to deny this stuipd theroy and trying to fly by MTB...
I am sure many of us will try to free from gravity and try to fly when riding MTB!!

Here is report from poor 2tall.....

Thought you might be interested in this picture.
This is my collar bone that a dislocated on Jan 31 at Tamagawa riding straight off the 2 meter dotei and going over the handle bars!!!
Will take about 3 weeks to another couple of months to heal. Back on the trails soon!!!

Yeah, I tried to fly but gravity took over!!!
The guy I was riding with went back to his house to get his van and took me to the hospital and my bike to the bike hospital!!
Anyhow, I destroyed the rear rim and took that chance to upgrade to 36 spoke Mavic rim with XT hub (that I can put a disc brake on later).
============================================================================================

I guess you can fly next time!!

Ouch!!

Poor 2tall!!
