July 13, 2015 // Fall
This looks bad and it was. But thankfully and miraculously Arvid was walking around in minutes. He’s stiff and sore but otherwise it would appear there is nothing more serious than a crack in his helmet (he brought extras). Within a minutes he was back on his bike.
The back wheel suddenly seized just as Arvid began to stand to push up the hill. His forward momentum combined with his standing caused him to roll over his handlebars.
“It’s been a long time since I did summersaults,” joked Arvid as he walked back to the follow van for a quick rest. Minutes later when asked about the fluid in his legs, he said, “I think it cushioned my fall.”

OK Arvid…enough of the trick riding OK? In my limited bike riding experience, I’ve always found keeping the rubber side down and the sunny side up is the best way to go!
But seriously…so thankful you survived that one…unbaleevable!!! God doesn’t always keep you from falling…but he often saves you from breaking…may God heal you from this fall, quickly!
I think Niko did that a couple weeks ago. You can compare war stories. 🙁
