This was the day of my accident. My brother inlaw and I went to a local bike park to ride. The trail we were going down looked like it was a technical section but seemed doable. I was the first to go down. It was a short little downhill section with a left hand turn at the bottom. As I started down the hill I was in control till I got towards the bottom. I was carrying more speed than I wanted. I was not able to make the left. The left was built up by a retaining wall of about 3 feet. I went over the dirt berm and crashed over the handle bars. I fell the 3feet over my bike and landed on my head. As I was crashing I tried to tuck and roll out of it. I took most the impact on my head.
I layer on the dirt for awhile after to catch my breath and get my bearings. After about 10 minutes I tried to sit up and just didn't feel right. So I laid back down again. After another 10 I tried to sit again and no good. I kept feeling that my neck was really stiff and extremely sore. We called my wife to come get us and she met us there. I got up and walked to the car. Once there I told my wife we needed to go to the ER. As we drove down he road we took a left turn on to the main road, this is when I felt my neck move about an inch out of place. At that moment is when I felt the most intense aweful pain in my life. This when we called 911 and stopped the car right in the middle of the road.
