Was at comp hill at BC watching everybody play. After sitting for awhile thought I'd run the hill a time or two. Had seen a nice looking Banshee that was running the hill pretty good. Thought I might get beat but it would be close. He was running against a stock shee who he must of knew. I pulled up next to the stocker & waited for him to come around. He pulled up to my R then we were gone.
Mid to late whoops we were VERY close(laterally) & then I bounced off one into him. 
Luckily we were even & hit wheels. I thought it was just in the F but I seen tonight my R rim is slightly bent so must of hit both. I shut down immediately then mid hill he turned around to come back to me. We asked each other if they were OK & then we went our seperate ways. I thought we had just "rubbed" a little & did not notice the damage to my quad till I got back on the flat. It was pulling bad so I got off to examine further. R F tire was bent in pretty bad(camber). It looked it was from a bent J arm. So my hill running was done & we headed back to camp. This all happened early afternoon so we got things ready to head home(had to wk Mon).All this info is to explain the situ. I will take the majority of the blame for this incident, I call it 70% me, 30% him. As said I did bounce into him. At the bottom though he did line up pretty close to me(3-4'). Also I think he was drifting my direction slightly as we climbed.
The main thing about this is that no one got hurt.
I was wondering though if anybody seen this happen or know the guy I hit? It was at BC comp hill noonish on Sun 2/19. My bike looks to be just a bent J arm so the fix should be easy. I know the A arm setup is much stronger so I was hoping he did not have that much damage to his bike. Too nice of ride to be banged up.I've been racing up that hill(& others) for over 15 years. This is the first time I've ever came in contact with another bike or even seen it. I was wondering if anybody else has ever hit or maybe came close? I think 7-8'(min) either side will be what I will stay from now on. Going 25-30 mph over 3' whoops it can be hard to keep your bike perfectly straight. Happy & safe® rideing to you.
