Wow, you didn't wait long to give endoing a try, did you?! Glad you're okay and hope none of your injuries linger.

I started mountain biking this summer, and I am terrified of endoing. Every time the trail turns slightly downhill, I scoot off the back of my saddle so my weight won't be too far forward. Hasn't happened yet, but it's my biggest fear. The more experienced mountain bikers I talk to say they have endo'd many times. Yikes!! It never sounds like they get hurt all that bad, but I just know I'd hit my head or break my shoulder or something, with my luck. So, I am very, very careful, and when the downhill gets steep, narrow, or too rooty, I am not above walking it.

You sound a little braver than me!
