cmfx_2 Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 Just wondering what or how you've physically suffered in your trials history?Myself, nothing serious, no broken bones. My injuries mostly consist of shin and knee bruises. A few wrist sprains and finger jamming but can't say I've had anything serious happen. With some of the things I've seen accomplished, they must of some stories to tell. What's yours? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

call_the_police Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 Crazily, my worst ever injury whilst riding trials was two years ago. I done a 6ft drop gap to a bench, my savage vee brake slipped and I came crashing down on my back on the edge of the bench paralysing myself completely for 20 minutes.Scariest experience in my life!!John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

casualjoe Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 Last Saturday I hit my nose on my stem trying a gap, I was looking at the landing spot when my front wheel hit a wall and all my weight came foward. I have a big hole in the side of my nose where a sharp edge fo the stem dug in, I could breathe out of it before a nurse glued it up. My most unusual injury at least.

The Hitcher Posted May 19, 2007 Report Share Posted May 19, 2007 Split my chin open trying to hook a wall. Screwed it up totally and hit my front wheel into the wall and I went flying and smashed my chin on it. Parents werent happy when I rang them as like 10pm, night ridings a challenge.

B.E.A.U Posted May 19, 2007 Report Share Posted May 19, 2007 When I first started to learn drop gaps I went up to Birmingham to try the boat gap off the wall to the barge and I had heat sink yellows these were hard as rocks and they was shit and I just slipped. Hit the boat brake didn’t hold I went forwards bars twisted into ribs broke 2 ribs and I fell in the water.Then had to climb out of their walk through brum to find a paramedic but just collapsed.

Ash-Kennard Posted May 19, 2007 Report Share Posted May 19, 2007 That's because you bleed your brakes in puddles and use spit as lubricant! <---- no liethats not fair, i got a bar to fill up my bottle for the bleed, and only spat on the caliper as a last resort, it sort of worked too so shut it.

hI-OOPS-CAPS Posted May 19, 2007 Report Share Posted May 19, 2007 Generally don't push myself enough to do stupid things, nor do enough street. I usually hit my left shin alot, had stiches a few times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManxTrialSpaz Posted May 19, 2007 Report Share Posted May 19, 2007 (edited) Haven't had any bad ones yet, the (only) two that come to mind are falling off the front whilst doing my first ever drop gap (I proceeded to do it 5 mins later and have the title of the only person to fall off on it :$ ) and falling off the back when bunnyhopping a wall couple of inches over bar height. It was one of those ones when you should jump off the back but try to put your foot down = landing straight to back.Edit: Also backwheeling into manuals has a tendency to hurt a lot Edited May 19, 2007 by ManxTrialSpaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmfx_2 Posted May 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2007 Glad to hear y'all busting nuts for the sport! Will have to build up some technique and guts to start trying things that may involve some greater risk assessment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobRook Posted May 20, 2007 Report Share Posted May 20, 2007 (edited) Hey Guys, New to the forum (Did you guess?) Thought I'd have a rant Well... My worst injuries were....(1) Stock Trials:- Riding along a sea wall with a little 45 degree flower bed in the corner, went to put my front wheel onto the 1 brick wide wall of the flower bed that was slightly lower, and missed it, (unexpectedly ofcourse) Wheel went right down to the main floor (Red Arrow in image) I hit my head on the 45 degree part of the wall (Yellow Arrow in image)...(God knows what would of happened if it was a right angle) I got up and felt the back of my head where I thought I'd hit it. I looked up and my mate who was with me, He said "Oh crap man, your eyebrow!" My left eyebrow was massively swollen. Luckily I didn't fracture anything, but I had a nice shiner for over a week. People were asking if I had got beaten up, I said "Yea I did... By a wall" When pinched, my left eyebrow is twice as thick as my right one Not noticable in general though....Oh, I do 3D modelling too, This is a quick mock up of the scene so you can picture it (2) 20" BMX:- Whilst standing up and pedaling down a gentle hill at about 15-20Mph, my chain came off, my left foot slipped off the pedal, and went under the rear wheel, I went down to the left, straight onto the pavement, onto my elbow..... I got up in immence pain, bent my arm, and see a void and the bone..... The void then filled with blood It was as painful as the eyebrow one, maybe more.. I now have a dark scar 1" x 1/2" on my left elbow..No broken bones so far (Touch Wood)(Fingers Crossed)....I've had plenty of Shin-Pedel Scrapes.. I think they're the main signature of bike trials. Plenty of dead knees (The funny bone part) And blisters on my hands.. Well I have at the moment because I've only just started riding again after a year out (New Bike w00t... I get really bad calluses on my hands too, but thats expected doing trials:-Regards,Rob. Edited May 20, 2007 by biketrials_master Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
