Holy Shnikes!

coming into this a bit late but glad you're okay. Great camera phone pics.....scary to see though.

Now going back to read what actually happened!

The pics don't show how steep that hill was. If you look back up close to the top of the hill you can see a faint skid mark where the rear wheel locked up. Then the tire caught, I high sided off the bike and then you can see the marks on the ground where the bike slid into the dump truck. Good thing I always wear gear AND I was only doing about 35mph at the time I locked up the rear wheel.

You can see by that last pic, there is not a single mark on me other than where the truck ran over my leg after I landed behind the rear wheels of the truck and he continued to back up.

From personal experience, I can tell you they are heavy, especially when they are filled with landscape rock.
