    I was using the bottom of a bike path hill to get a little speed and ended up with more than I bargained for. I tried to carve back to go back uphill but it was a little too narrow and I didn’t quite make it: instead I hit the grass and momentum took over. I remembered to tuck my arms but forgot to tuck my legs and my knee took a fair bit of impact. Fortunately I had all my protective gear on so it doesn’t seem like the damage is bad. I’m still waiting on an orthopedic exam, but I’m 2 days out and able to be off crutches without pain so Im hopeful that its just a bad sprain. =) Learning to fall is so important and Im glad that at least my upper body remembered what to do! Also glad I didn’t try to look cool and do anything without pads.
