Me and my friend Chris Geistlinger went to Nelson to ride the indoor on saturday for the day/night. Had a real fun session saturday and a quick one on sunday before we headed back to kelowna. About 45 min into the drive home we hit some black ice on a corner, started drifting across the road, front end went into the ditch, slid for a tiny bit then it caught in the deep snow and flung the truck into a half front flip/barrel role kinda thing. We landed directly upside down, in the ditch, on the wrong side of the road pointing the wrong way. I've never rolled a vehicle before so it was a pretty sweet ride. Once we realized we were both totally fine, we just stared laughing. None of the stuff we had with us got wrecked. Chris had a laptop in the truck that was just sitting in the back during the crash and nothing happend to it. I had a video camera in there too and it was all good. Our bikes were in the box of the truck and they seem to be ok, haven't looked at mine to close yet but it seems alright. Chris' landed beside the truck kinda but mine was buried deep in the snow directly under the box. It took almost 2 hours for a tow truck to come and get us, which kinda sucked. Overall though we got away super lucky. The truck was completely written off, but us and all our stuff were fine.
