Face Plant Yu

Dude, today was way extreme sports day. I joined the mountain bikers, a group of about 12 guys. We practiced all your basic stuff - turning, changing gears, shifting body weight, etc. After about an hour we hit the trail. It was a pretty good challenge for us beginners. I absolutely loved it. To me, the coolest part of the ride was when our guide took us to a part of the trail where there was a jump. It was actually a pretty small jump, but a little intimitading for us newbies. But, Yu didn't flinch. He just took that jump, cranked on the front brake, and went sprawling face-first. Phil, this guy from the UK who was standing next to me, said it well, "Gotta respect that." Apart from a few scratches, Yu was fine. He just picked himself up and headed right back down the trail. Just goes to show us once again that a face plant on the mountain biking trail is totally boss!
