patches Posted June 6, 2013 Posted June 6, 2013 (edited) chainring or pedal? Neither! Hit the beeeg jump at the 139 DH track. Didn't go well so was in 2 minds about ejecting or not. Result... shin got caught between the rear tyre, seat stay, and seat post. Not ideal at any time. Particularly when landing a jump. I did however manage to ride it out and remain on the bike until it had come to a complete stop, before I disembarked that air craft. So the injury seen is in fact not a cut, but my skin being ripped part by the friction of a spinning tyre. Edited June 6, 2013 by patches

patches Posted June 6, 2013 Posted June 6, 2013 So dramatic you should have been a script writer you shut your pie hole! I remember pushing your bike back up Serpentine and walking you to the ambulance. then hiking about 30km the next day to fetch your bike from where I safely stored it. When injure myself, you guys tell me to drive myself to the pharmacy and leave me to 'stitch' myself up on the roadside while you carr on riding. And I was even kind enough to bring drinks back with me. hahahaha!

koukie Posted June 6, 2013 Posted June 6, 2013 Here's one from my personal collection. (posted before, but relevant to the title of this thread) How much did you wish your guard was sitting a few cm's lower?
patches Posted June 6, 2013 Posted June 6, 2013 your body was still in a functional condition......how about at SH and you all just left me lying by my car and carried on jumping I think you did give me sweets thou I'm pretty sure we didn't just leave you by the car. I'm pretty sure we laughed as you phoned your wife to tell her you broke ANOTHER arm. We also took photos as you flipped us off. As for the sweets... I drive a van, it's my job to distribute sweets! Ok, back on topic...

patches Posted June 6, 2013 Posted June 6, 2013 How much did you wish your guard was sitting a few cm's lower? Yeah, I almost always have both my knee AND my knee-shin guards with me. I almost always choose to just go for the knee only pair. That day I regretted, hahaha!

Hairy Posted June 6, 2013 Author Posted June 6, 2013 I imagine it would be terribly socially unacceptable to "like" any of these pics ... I have come close to doing this, but just can't bear to "like" someone elses pain and suffering .... mind you I might go back and "like" Patches's pic
