Need to slow down
The Gods are trying to tell me something. I have felt so amazing on my new flowered coconino. that I feel I can ride anything. So I started pushing the limits again and trying things I have not cleaned , with much success I have been stoked. With that success have come some failures. I ate shit hard a few weeks ago but came out of it OK. Yesterday I ate shit again. I felt so solid about the maneuver and was riding strong. trying to ride this hard maneuver on the second half of secret trail before Your Mama trail I sailed over my bars. I thought was going to land fine then my right leg extended and slammed straight into the ground and hyper extended. shit that hurt and my knee is quite swollen. this one will put me out for a little while. It is hard for me to not push myself and ride gnarly shit. I could visualized the maneuver but when I thought I had it, it all slipped out from underneath me.

Denise,
hey kid - - just read your post and cringed at the thought of you slamming into the ground. Hope that you give yourself the time you need to recover. That's the tough part - - being patient and gentle when all you want to do is push hard and enjoy challenging yourself. Be good to yourself so that you can enjoy riding for the long haul - -
Love, Meg
Age catches up to all of us. It's mildly reassuring to me that you might be mortal. I just started running again... there's definitely bits of me would have preferred going over some handlebars instead.
Rest up and take it easy for a few days.
best
