Why two threads on the same topic in the same section of the forums?
Delete one before you get flamed.

Went over the bars bunnyhopping a curb at speed.
Broke and dislocated my elbow.
Tends to put a dampener on your confidence for a while.

OK, no pictures and not including some good ones on MX and skis (inc 2 quadruplegic spinal cord concussions) - front pinch flat on landing to 2nd R rib fracture, big (10m vertical) flip after rock hit to 4 L ribs, sapling to OTB at the top of a gully, 4m to rocks with 2 ribs, bruised liver, partial bowel obstruction 2 years ago, front tyre burp on off-camber landing to 1 rib and pumpkin thigh about 1 year ago, last week concrete block to left armpit to 4 ribs, off berm to off trail to sapling on our local track to thigh gouged oped age 8 (broke the "tree" though), no footwear to foot into spokes to toe degloved over the bone age 6 (cool front flip when the foot reached the fork crown though), no finger or handprints for a year after donating to the 90 degree turn in the driveway age 10,but the best I can remember offhand was at age 7. We built (another) jump in the front drive and the handlebars of my 20" snapped on landing launching me right into the cactus plantation on that bloody 90 degree corner on the drive. The visual and emotional involvement you get when going face first into 4 different kinds of long spines kinda stays with you. Luckily, so did my eyes.

I call BS! Pictures or none of that happened ...

Paragraphs would be nice too, or is that asking for to much?

Thanks for the interest. Wish it was BS, but that is only part of my luckless existence. I'm also probably a lot older than you.

Oh, here's another paragraph. I did get a bit lawyer there. You don't want me to post you a few kilos of XRays do you?

I can no longer claim not to have broken anything mountain biking after breaking my finger in the bmc 100 on saturday.
Biking was about the only sport I've done and not broken something (heel roack climbing, cheek rugby, wrist footy, shoulder skiing, also ribs and fingers doing general stupid things over the years).
Have to say it always hurts and the cracking sound when something goes horribly wrong is a bad sign.
