"I was on a dirt trail like this once when I was younger," I said as we bounced along the moderately bump trail with our mountain bikes.

"And I accidentally slammed on my front brakes first, hard. And over I flew, over my handlebars, and into the ground."

"Ouch! That must've hurt!" my friend remarked.

"Yeaaa, it sure did."

We continued down the trail for a few more feet. I was coasting along rather quickly, when suddenly my friend, who was in front of me, slowed down.

To avoid colliding into her, I grabbed my handlebars and slammed on my brakes.

Unfortunately, I accidentally slammed on my front brakes first, hard. And over I flew, over my handlebars.

And into the ground.

Have you ever eaten dirt while riding a mountain bike?
