I’ve got sympathetic back pain after watching this video. I dropped my bike on a gravel road just a month or so ago. I was exploring a nature preserve on the west side of IN called Falls Creek Gorge ( the Potholes to the locals). I was hiking when it started thundering and scurried back to my bike, was chugging along in 2nd gear when I saw the gravel change to huge rocks on a curve. I lost my nerve and let off the throttle too abruptly, started lugging and stepped off the bike like a matador. I struggled for awhile like you did, but finally had to admit defeat and hoof it looking for reinforcements. I found a couple of people to help me lift it, but I doubt whether I’ll ever ride on the giant rock gravel again. I have to recognize my limitations.

Lift with your back not with your knees!

Wait, what?

Great video, equally entertaining as informative. I have quite a few of my customers ask me for advice on what to do if they have to drop their bike. Thanks.

Hi Bill,

Saw you on HAK5 recently and this video brought tears to my eyes — I was laughing at your expense. I am so glad you shared this experience with us (in HD no less!) I saw the human struggle with machine and nature (gravity and prickly weeds). Keep up the great work and more videos like this!!! You made my day dude!
