17 stitches in my leg, just below a main artery.
Doing some dirt jumping at castle cove,,, bailed of the middle jump and broke both bones in my left arm (looked like a Z ) Then a mate payed me out about breaking the arm so i punched him and ended up breaking a medacarple in my other hand,,,,,,, NOW i had 2 casts,,,,,, oh and teh medacarple was apparently already minor fractured from teh bike incident, i must remember to drink more milk.
never broken bones but did....
front wheel cased a transfer at some jumps, ko'd myself, had some form of seizure, woke up with paramedics trying to work out how to get me outta there, i walked out to the ambo, took pics with camera phone only to discover that my braces had gone through my lip....fun.....not as fun as discovering youve swalloed a dickload of dirt during your seizure though....mmmm tastes like ass

Yeh well during the june july holidays i had been riding abit and decided to take my little cousinto some jumps at blue nurses so there i was jumping having fun until i decided to try the two biggest jumps there i landed in exactly the right place but doing a wheelie and stacked bending my bars and creating a lot of play in my shocks..... i then decide to go home so my cousin and i begain our trip home. as i was going down a hill my cousin crashed into the back of my bike . i stacked it landing teeth first into the gutter . smashing out 1 tooh(tooth left of left front tooth) , bending one 90 degrees and almost out of the socket(left front tooth) , smashed one in half verticaly( righty front tooth) and bit throught my lip. I now have to get a fake tooth, and three route canals . this is my worst night mare it sux. personally i think that it a really bad stack

Worst bicycle injury is just a couple of broken toes....concussed a few times...that about all on my bike though, lucky so far i guess :S
Worst injury however....
In 1998...back in the days when i used to play soccer, i was just bummn' around at soccer training, passin' the ball with my mates, the lawn had been mown that day so all of the soccer goalposts where out on the ground, i happened to be passing a ball Directly underneath one leaning up against a cricket net...i few punters behind me where playing some wacked up game in which you climbed up the cricket net and touched the top
confused, anyways, one of the guys climbed up and knocked the goal post over, knowing my luck, i was still stading there with my back towards it, next thing i knew, BANG!, my head was ringing and i could tast blood and could feel all of my teeth wobbaly, my white shirt was stained red, i was on the ground hoping it was a dream and that i would wake up, but i saw the whole crowd of spectators rush over and people yetting "Call 000!'', got majorly freaked out and tried to get up...little did i know i had one of the hooks that hold the soccer nets up with through my eye socket (Must have been like 1mm away from my eye or something...
I heard the ambulance come and i remember getting lifted up onto a stretcher, from then to the hospital (20min drive) i couldn't remember anything...remembered just waking up as i was being rushed through to the operating room, throwing up blood and being confused as to what happened...
Woke up the next day and quickly made a new best friend with pain killers...I then found out i had, broken my skull, broken my nose, my jaw, cheek bone and pierced just above my eye socket, in result to this i had a total of 20 stickes above my eye where i got cut (my left eye is droopy now), i had staples and stickes from one ear to the other, i had bandages on my head that made me look like osama biladen, i had to use a wheelchair because i couldn't walk for a bit over 2months....and to top it all off, i found out i had to sit in a bed for 3 weeks in hospital, (i couldnt walk or anything, i swear i was going crazy).
As for all of my teeth, they actually used dissolvable stitches, and sticked all of my teeth back to somewhat, normal, and SUPRISINGLY they managed to heal and stay alive, they where chipped up and crooked, but i got all the chips fixed up by some dentist and currently have braces to straighten my teeth and move my top jaw foward as if was messed up in the accident.
So yeah, i now have 2 metal plates in my head, 1 where the hook pierced me above my eye socket, and one where i smashed my cheak bone, and i have 1 uber big scar from ear to ear and many around my left eye.
Anyways, that my story..

i love it. type about me time again. my fav.
i smashed the top 7 inches of my right tibia. right up and through the tibial plateau. ( the bottom half of your knee joint) that bit was in 3 separate pieces. luckily the fibula stayed attached to the bit of the tibial plateau that it joins to. the miniscus was stuffed down inside my split tibia instead of up in the knee joint where it normally lives.
repair job consisted of a bone graft off my hip, 7 1.5 inch screws and 2 2 inch screws. a 5 inch long steel plate down the outside of the tibia for the screws to go through, 2.5 weeks in hospital, 3 months on crutches, 6 months on walking stick. 2 year anniversary last sunday.
lucky i was wearing a helmet.....aye.

Head on with a 3 wheeler motor bike when I was 5 or 6, I was on a BMX. We zigged when we should of zagged. The end of the handle bars got me in my special spot. I actually remember the pain quite vividly and also seem to remember something about my Mum putting cream on my little boy balls to stop the swelling.
Shit I just rememebered me and my mate had a head on on our dirtbikes the first time we went to the dunes, I copped a finger in his spokes and a fucking nasty exhaust burn, got kinda stuck under the bike. Its a good idea to actually ride BEHIND each other in the dunes lol. We were pissing ourselves after we realised we were both fine, but his sister and her friend didnt see the humour in it. Yes we were both showing off to the friend.
And recently broken finger, from trying to impress my mates by wheeling a bike down 2 stairs whilst drunk, you can guess what happened.

i was just starting to learn trips when i tried 2 do an x-up over the hip. i didint get enough speed and i somehow did a little whip aswell. i landed with my wheel 90 degrees and the handlebar jammed into my gut (lucky it wasnt a few inches lower ) i flipped over my handlebars and landed face first into the ground. i got my leg caught in my frame and banged my shin into that, and worst of all, i ripped my best pair of pants

doing a jump with a 2ft gap across the road from a mates house on my little borthers bmx, jumped off the side of the bike and ended up letting the end of the axle put a 4 cm whole in the side of my leg. thats my worst riding injury. that or the time i flipped off the back of my bike, landed on a rock and broke my tailbone
the worst overall would have to be falling off a full size basketball hoop and landing face first on concrete i was only in year 3 and i broke my jaw

I came off a moto doing fishtales at like 50-60ish down my friends driveway on his bike sparaying his bro n friend in gravel good fun till i did it flat chat and over corrected. i was waring a t shirt n shorts + helmet. Ripped by shirt to bits, back covered in grazes and cuts, broke my collar bone and 8 weeks later i was able ride a push bike again yay. I have 6 screws and a titanium plate in me now yay, it wasn't a fracture but it was snapped clean in half The emergency people were dicks till they got the xrays then they were very nice Specialist orthapedic surgeons are very nice too when they get 150 for a 10 min appointment *excuse the spelling*
