that downhill portion of the ecotrail that have a coupla humps is quite tricky because of the fast descent and the humps that will take you airborne for a few inches, if not feet (depending on your velocity). it's either you hit it and handle your rig nicely and with the sufficient speed or not to hit at all. during our last lamesa ride and along that downhill portion, one of the rider in the group also bought land in that section, good thing there was nothing serious.
i myself was a little bit nervous hitting those humps (first time i did doing humps on fast descent), good thing God guided me well in how to handle my rig during the situation.
so for those hitting the ecotrail, careful with those humps

Great ride guys and gals!
The start of the ride was great. each one at their own pace enjoying the morning sun and the greens. (except for Raul who was in race mode then eventually gets dropped on the climbs,as usual.hehehe im sure he's gonna make some gay excuse for this.joke lang sis)
Trail condition was great,not that dry.loved the single track from tower 1 to 2 (from the Kubo where we caught up with the All Terrans)
Judex spilled on the DH portion when he was thrown off the bike when he hit a bump (saw it happen since i was trailing behind him) and was lucky to have controlled my speed and managed to use my brakes properly as well avoiding hitting him and his bike. Thought he suffered a dislocated shoulder as i saw where he took the impact. Thank god he suffered only minor scrapes and bruises. His helmet saved his noggin from a major impact. suffered minor memory loss for a few minutes then back to his old self after a few minutes more. was glad to see his pinky fingers up again after that.
after a few minutes of attending to Judex,here comes Karen speeding down screaming "Tabi! Tabi!" when i saw her at that speed i thought to myself "oh no,this is gonna be a bad spill" then she hit the same hump that got Judex and she got thrown off the bike and skidded a few feet on the trail. honestly thought she would suffer from major hits but again,thank god she stood back up and was back to her old bubbly self again.
i think i spoke too soon when i said earlier that there were no major injuries, heard from Raul that Kukai shattered he right index finger knuckle. its gonna take time to heal sis. get well soon. and try to be extra careful next time.dont be too agressive ok?
Thanks to Jaymz for the lift.
See you on the next ride guys and gal!

Nice pix. Miss the Eco Trail already. Those DH portions should really be marked as "slightly" dangerous. It was a good thing I didn't spill given it was the first time I was on trails. The adrenalline gets to you and you really have to control yourself.

But Ill see you soon... Aris, she wont be able to even if she wanted to. she said that her index finger knuckle is broken into bits and pieces.needs at least a month to heal and it needs to be rehab'd after that. its gonna be a long healing process.i know first "hand". as per Judex, he got xray'd yesterday and thank god the dragon balls saved his shoulders from a major injury. according to his friend doctor,his shoulder muscles took the impact. was advised to put an arm sling on and told not to play chess anymore. ;D ;D ;D pinky fingers up girls! get well soon you two!

The ride was a blast! Just what I needed after a long work week. Kukai, I'm sorry to hear about the extent of your injury... get well soon and hit the trail with a vengence. Judex, Your hemlet took a lot of punishment and served its purpose. I hope and pray that you are also doing well. To those who accomodated and an old timer like me... Thank you for your support. Radical 1962, Thanks for the induction. ;D
