2023-08-17 WABDR Section 5 - Day 6 - Testing Icon Field Armor Compression Shirt and Armor 3 Vest

Messing around and found out!!! Sorry but it’s never a good idea to play around 1 arm riding in the dirt setting down. SHIT HAPPENS and quickly.

It does look like I was riding with one arm with the 360 video...I wish I was that talented...but no. I actually had both hands on the handlebars. It's that moondust on Section 5...coming down Cooper Mountain and caught some of it on the right side of the rut and front wheel just dropped in suddenly! $#!+ does happen quick in dirt...a few times on WABDR for me. Took a really hard fall on Chumstick Mountain just as I neared the top too--hit some loose sand and the bike went over the edge..for real! I went completely over the handlebars and landed really hard on the chest--had bruised ribs for weeks. Very glad I had the Icon vest armor on--that saved my life.

@@cascaderideadventures Sorry you crashed it just happens so fast . I fell on a cliff on the PCT between Stevens Pass and Snoqualmie and it was fast slipped on a piece of slate over the cliff I went. did that end your ride ?
