Gravel Slide Fail: Watch As This Old Grandpa Flies Over His Handle Bars and Wipes Out On His Mountain Bike Somewhere in Kingwood, Texas

I thought I would create this cool "slide-in-the-gravel" video when I accidentally locked up my front beaks... bad idea!

It wasn't a complete flip, but it felt like it at the time. This little stunt got me a broken rib on my left side.

I'm 51 and my family/friends tell me to slow down, but I'm having the time of my life riding my mountain bike.
