Just thought it might be interesting to see what kind of injuries or crash pics people have had over the years. im sure everyone has a story or pics of that one big crash! ill get the ball rolling with the pics of my ankle after i crashed riding some trails south of perth. I did a severe open wound dislocation with fractures on my left ankle. the local hospital was 2 mins from the trails, bad news, no doctors. a shot of pethadine and back into the car for the 2 hour drive back to perth, and on my b'day no less haha!
4 months on crutches, a few screws later and its good as gold!

Looking for the x-rays now. I snapped my elbow in half and the bone popped out. I was in grade 4 and did it on the monkey bars. just thought i would add that, sorry its not a riding one. it took 8 weeks to heal with 2 screws and a pin. and all i got now is the scar and xrays.

well i didnt wash any of my speed of over the first jump and instead of pumping and flowing through i just went sailing over where i was supposed to land, stuck out a foot and took the whole weight of the bike and myself through my left ankle and i guess it couldnt handle the 100 odd kgs and decided to dislocate and rip a massive hole in my ankle. i actually ended up landing on the bottom of the up ramp for the next double and then after my ankle snapped i ended up smashing onto my face and doing a few flips on the ground. sweet as.

Ouch. Don't you hate it when you know you've done some bad damage. And then the pain moderates enough to look :eek: And all you can think is 'how long off the bike this time?' :mad: :( Good luck with the recovery.

ha well i wasnt sure what i had done until my mate came over and he pulled up my pants, pulled my sock down and said 'fuck theres bone!! wheres the hospital!?' haha. it didnt hurt like i thought it would though, i imagined it would be alot worse. pulling my sock out of the wound was what hurt the most. i did it back in september, its pretty much back to normal now. ive got a pretty decent scar tho, ill take a pic and put it up.
