NotSoBigBen Posted December 14, 2006 Share Flip okes (and dudettes) I fell hard at Sabie today! Just got back from the doc, 2 stitches to the eyebrow and 3 to the chin. Finished in 4:45, happened at about 20k's on a fast down with a loose righthander. Luckily Byrons' first aid course (which I paid for!) came in handy. He bandaged me up and I managed to continue, bit blind in the left eye from the blood but ya ......... I look like a flippin heavyweight boxer after a bad loss! Yip we'll be out there again tomorrow! Legs and arms are good (no comments about any other parts of the anatomy i.e. brain etc. please!) Hope the rest of the hubbers went well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
