I had a real bad crash there several years ago. Lost the skin on my right forearm from the wrist to the elbow. First day out of course. I had a waist pack holding two water bottles and one burst open. When I opened my eyes (with my sunglasses on) I saw a huge wet spot on the rock and thought I was bleeding to death. Yeah I finished the ride but was a little shaky. Showering afterwards was the worst. Anybody going out to Slickrock - pump up your tires! I'm from N.E. and normally ride with low tire pressures (35-40). My front tire was peeled right off the rim in a high speed corner on the high-friction slickrock surface. As my friend put it so eloquently "he went down like he owed the earth money".
