Are you fucking kidding me? Chris, you gotta chill a bit. Don't pull an Ant and keep pushing and crashing until you get really hurt.

Sorry to hear that Chris, time to reel it back in a bit kid. Glad you are not hurt. How bad is the bike?

Before anyone starts making any assumptions as to what happened I should let you guys know that I DID NOT CRASH RIDING OVER MY HEAD.
I was coaching in white group following another coach and a rider whom I was oberserving. On the back straight before the braking markers I decided I didn't need to hang out here any more and decided to move on to the next guy. It just so happened that Bob went past me and I moved out after he had gone by.
I looked over to my right for a second to get the details of the bike I was observing so I could be sure to talk to him when the session was over. I looked back and not far enough ahead to see Bob's rear tire a little more than a foot away from my front tire.
I got on the brakes harder and harder trying to avoid him, I probably could have swerved but I was not aware of my position on the track other than that I was behind Bob and there were riders to my right above the wall at the braking markers. To avoid colliding really friggen hard with Bob I just gave it all I could and launched myself over the handle bars after riding an endo for what seemed like an eternity.
My hands landed on Bobs tail section and my face near his tire/undertail exhaust. I held on for a second that I can remember and then I was sliding down the backstraight. This couldn't have been at more than 40 or 50 mph. I came to a halt on the pavement and immediately jumped up and ran off into the inside of the track on the grass where I proceeded to rip my helmet and gloves of cursing myself out.
Bob can explain what he felt, but from what he told me it felt as those someone just wiggled him a little.
I fucked up and failed to stay concentrated on my surroundings while trying to observe someone on the track. This crash was not due to anyones actions but my own and it should not have happened. I play the scenerio over and over again and still cannot figure out what happened exactly. I'm left with only a vague idea.
I know alot of people think I'm a hot head and trouble waiting to happened but on the track if you knew me 2 or hell even 1 year ago you would see for yourself the kind of rider that I am today. I'm sure people can vouch but I know how I ride and no one's opinion will change that.
I broke my 5th metatarsal closer towards the pinky toe rather than the back of the foot which is usually called a Jones Fracture and sometimes requires surgery. Luckily I will not and will most likely recieve an air boot and have it wrapped. So I am fine and the bike will be back to new by the end of this week.
Thanks to those who made sure I was ok and the kind words from everyone at the track.

Chris, we don't, if we did then we wouldn't be your friends. Glad you're not to hurt, heal fast. You weren't riding like a a**hole, you just made an error. Remember, bikes are machines all can be repaired or replaced never sweat the small stuff. Don't beat yourself up, we still love ya kiddo.

Chris - It always sucks to experience a crash, but unfortuneately mistakes
are how we learn. As I read your description of the accident it was obvious
to me that you understood your mistake, and that it is not at all likely to
happen again. Get well soon Chris, I'll see you at the track!
