Not as visceral as many of the pics on this thread but my shins have been copping it from trials riding lately... today they were pedal shredded for the last time! Popped into bike shop for some well overdue shin guards after the fact. Given the amount of time it's likely to take for me to become even a half decent trials rider I think $120 is a wise investment while there's still some meat on my shin bones haha.

Nice work!
I heard that someone was choppered out with spinal injuries - you hear/ see anything about it?

That's a classy looking dismount. Hope you missed the tree and nothing on you or the bike schnapped.

That was some guy riding Big Chook at nearby Weldborough. A mate of mine came across him. He spent 6hrs on his back until they could get him out. No spinal cord injuries from what I've heard but several broken vertebrae, ribs and nose

Pretty sure that wasn't an EWS competitor my bro rode Blue tier on the Saturday and came across a guy on one of the last jumps on big chook. He was in a really bad way ( back/neck I think) and waiting for the chopper.

Yeah that was him. Just a normal punter that bit off a bit more than he could chew. Surprisingly the EWS races weren't too bad injury wise considering the conditions and all the rocks to land on :shocked:

This is the last pic mid air at Woodys Drop at Mt Narra on Sat. End result, I'm in hospital for 2-3weeks immobility, fractured pelvis, fractured saacrum and coxyx too with a nice big metal plate and 90mm bolts holding it all together. Torn most ligaments on right side of pelvis, and going to be out of action for about 8-10 weeks before I can walk maybe without crutches.
Wear pads and full face, as they saved me a LOT more greif.

Oh crap dude, I heard about the Ambos on the Parkway on the weekend and then someone mentioned your stack. Hope you have a speedy recovery and you can get back on the bike again.This is the last pic mid air at Woodys Drop at Mt Narra on Sat.

Do you know what happened and how the accident played out? Or is it all a massive blur?
