The best thing about where I live is I am so close to one of the best mountain biking single tracks in the Syracuse area. Its a small short track but the challenge that it presents make it a worth while track. I would guess that parts of it would be black diamond.

Today I took my dad on it for the first time and it was going pretty well. I was leading for a change cause it was me showing him a track and not the other way around. About half way through we were on the track that runs the side of the hill running at a pretty good pace. It was a moderate terrain and probably reached speeds of up to 15 MPH.

I jumped this one log and was watching the ground during the landing and when I looked up I had almost no time to react. I ran into a tree. The handlebars to my bike hit the tree and slingshot me forward sending the side of my face and neck into the tree.
