Shit hairy1!!
Pretty messed up, and talk about giving me flashbacks. Back at the start of 1999 i had a pretty massive accident at Olinda dh practicing one evening. Last run for the night i had a brain fade approaching the road drop / crossing and hit it at full noise instead of walking pace. I basically dove head first into the road at 50k's. Wheel exploded, forks snapped off and of course my head went face first into the road. Helmet certainly saved my life but i still messed up my face bigtime. Picture seeing what was left of my teeth through a gaping hole in my chin etc... Nose was farked too, hands, arms, ribs. Great year to be 18! My teeth today still need ongoing work.
Was very strange riding passed the spot 2 weeks ago for the first time since '99, and you can still see plain as day where the council dozed in the 'crossing' the next week after my stack.
Get well soon!
Travis.
