his is what happens when you ride too fast a trail you don’t know (well enough).

The crash caused a direct stop from 25KPH to 0 within a fraction of a second, causing my head to smash my phone placed in the phone holder acting as a ebike display. (Greyp Bikes)

Resulted in opening my skin between my 2 eyes under my eyebrows.

I was wearing a helmet but no glasses ath the time.
Don’t know if wearing glasses would have made it worse or not.

What is sure is that i picked the wrong line on this one.

Choosed to change the line at the very last minute and expected the trail to allow either a jump or a rolling.

Unfortunately, trails decide for you and with a 25 kgs ebike, you can’t decide to jump on last minute emand expert to clear the jump with the cleanest way.

The punishment was fair but tough.

Definitely a pledge for looking at the lines before you ride them fast.

Bike was dead after this crash and i suppose that any bike would have broken after a frontal shock like this.
If not the frame, maybe fork, wheel or more of the rider.

Glad to walk away with « just » a scar, even if it’s in the middle of my face for my whole life now. 😅
Just like the lesson i learned that day.

Ride safe friends.
