Yeah, it's not too steep until the last 8 feet or so.
When I saw him coming I managed to slow a bit so if you watch you see the bike only got about a foot off the ground.
If I hadn't have slowed down it would have been much worse.
I actually fell about 6 feet backwards but managed to twist around and land on my feet and butt.
I was trying to stop sliding but for some reason I just couldn't seem to make that happen.
I should have grabbed the bike on my way down....
The bike I borrowed came out undamaged.
After the ride it got detailed.
The owner was happy and knows I am good for any damage found later
Gloves??? Who needs gloves when you have hands of steel
