    Sorry to hear of your crash, but glad you made it out of there! As everyone else has already said, you're a tough one!

    Your story is making me think twice about some of my own riding habits. I too live right on a trail, and tend to venture out ~5 miles or so, usually alone.

    Yeah your right. I would rather have a 30 pound lighter machine get dropped on me from roughly 8 feet (as estimated by the original poster) added to the momentum of the machine in motion.

    Wow, I'm amazed you lived, much less rode back, well then again, my grandpa drove himself to the hospital while having a stroke, so it just comes to show you how resilient the human body can be at times. Hope you can ride again!
    Never forget the past , but dont dwell on it.

    Take care of yourself and give your body the time to heal. Thankful you were able to recover after the accident and get back to your campsite for help!

    Please keep us updated on how you recuperate from this accident. Also let us know if you need any parts to get the 350X back together.
