Default Oops!
Rode The Pig Trail today (Arkansas' version of The Dragon). Didn't mean to take a quarter inch off each foot board.

Sucks. My Yamaha had replaceable rub points.

Rode the pig trail 2 weeks ago. My oops was much worse and I don't even want to talk about it.

Looks like you had a good time. Take a file and smooth them with downward strokes. If you dont, next time you wash you will have forgotten and slice your wash rag and/or fingers. Don't ask how I know this. I put blocks of mish metal under my boards. Makes pretty sparks
