OUCH!
yesterday two_balls (exriders member) and myself had a head on collision on the trails at my place. We both got lucky that we were not seriously injured............but his bike took on some pretty bad damage.
check the where to ride forum for a thread named "sundays in VA". there are more pics there.

Yeah you guys are lucky. I've seen people get really hurt in glamis by coming over a dune and not knowing some else was on the other side.

Last Januarary in Glamis my neighbor got knocked off his 250 bike when a 400 hit him while he was racing down comp hill. He ended up being knocked out for a min. or so but he was OK after a few beers. His bike was fine but the 400 was thrashed.

I think he only broke his ball-joints.....not the a-arms. and the plastic, but that can be repaired with zip ties.

Just found this thread.. Those are aftermarket a-arms, Houser +1's. I just broke the ball joints, bent the tie rod, busted the plastic. I have blue race plastic, but I ordered some nice black shiny plastic anyways.

Knee is still whacked or I'd be riding this weekend.
