Damn that sucks. At least your all good. Looks like a vest would have helped out a lot in that crash. Were you not wearing any gloves either or did they just get ate up? Heal up quick man, I bet you are sore as hell.

Hmm what kind of gloves so I know what the avoid when it comes time to buying new ones. I feel ya on the vest. I was waiting on getting the knee/shin guards and I looped the bike. Damn feeler on the peg broke off and stabbed me in the knee. Now I won't ride without them.
There ya go, fixed it for ya.

I would have to disagree with that. My old A* gloves survived hitting the ground at 60, no rash on my hands at all. Not saying the gloves still looked good or anything but I didn't get any rash on my hands or wrists. I was just glad I didn't loose a finger or something. After that happened I was searching around online and saw quite a few threads(mostly from track guys) who had their pinky broken or ripped off completely. SCREW THAT!
