 Matt Cipes Rides  Matt Cipes of Chico brought the pain in more ways than one at the Red Tail Hawk DH Pirate Ride in December. Cipes won the race but had to leave on a back board.  Here's a little update from the god of thunder...  
"I just wanted to update you guys on my condition. After a CT scan and several X-rays it was determined that I fractured both my tail bone (ramus) and my pelvic ring, as well as separating the pelvic ring from the tail bone on both the left and right side. Now I have two hollow stainless steel bolt and a plate holding me together. I spent about two months on a wheel chair and a couple weeks on crutches. It was a long journey but I am finally back on the bike and loving every second. Thanks for putting on kick ass races, when I get well enough I'll come back for some more victories and good times!

SOMEWHERE, IN SOMEONE'S BACKYARD, OR MAYBE DOWN AT THE SKATE PARK, AS YOU READ THIS, some big grown-up man is launching his armored body through the air on a nifty bundle of rubber and spokes and then thudding victoriously to the hard, hard ground. Maybe he'll swoop the bicycle around for another go at that jump, that downhill high-speed heart-drop or those courthouse steps and banisters...
