iLikeTheBikez Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 (edited) Think back to every bad injury you've ever had from riding and if you can show a few gorey/bloody pictures too, hey, this could even become a sticky.

Unipsycho Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 Never had a serious injury. The most painful I can remember was on my unicycle, I was riding off a wall and jumped, I think it was technically a pedal kick, but my feet slipped off when I was in the air. I sort of somehow partially forgot to put my feet back on the pedals, and basically fell about three foot straight onto my crown jewels on the seat. That was an uncomfortable moment that's all I have, I'm sure as time goes on I can provide more stories as could anyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTR_Vince Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 A little while back my chain on my Phase 1.2 kept skipping between gears so I cycled down to my local bike store to get it fixed. On my way, after a down hill, my chain got stuck as I pushed hard to pedal, which flung my forward of the bars head first into the pavement...

G_! Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 6 years ago I broke 4 front teeth, nose and lip when I had 17 years old with a mountain bike, the front wheel broke and my face finished in the soil.Now my teeth are of titanium and plastic. That was really sad for me because i was 2 years without front teeth...ugly ugly ugly....I dont have pics sorry but i can say that my face was like a anus of elephant haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unipsycho Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 If not from riding, then what from?I was trying a 50-50 grind on a skateboard about 6 years ago and snapped my left forearm (both bones?) clean in two. Was a delightfully clean break, unlike a spiral break the kid in the next bed had. It was exactly the same place, but his had fractured in a spiral fashion and he was in agony, mine was numb as an overdose kid in the next bed did his arm in from riding a bike...dangerous stuff, that bike riding malarky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamCelica Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 Well I've been relatively lucky in comparison to some of you guys! But the most memorable one for me was when I first started trials riding. I was out on the street just getting used to pedal hopping (lurching) up and down curbs and across grids, just to get used to it. I was trying this one hop over a grid when my foot slipped off my pedal. The pedal spun round and stuck in my knee, clean through my trousers and left 4 deep puncture marks in my knee cap. I remember lying on the floor thinking I had shattered my knee cap with blood all down my leg, I could barely walk. Thankfully it wasn't and I was back riding the week after.Not as bad as some other injuries on here, but I learnt my lesson not to ride in the wet again!! Haha!I'le try to get some pictures up of the scars. Still got them 6-7 years on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 Worst injuries:Drop-gapping to this line on the floor and my chain snapped, and I lurched forwards and sideways and left a pink skid of skin on the floor when I came down.Breaking (maybe) my toe by failing this gap that I'd done a few times before, and basically kicking it and it bending my toes all the way back.Aaand, missing an up to front, somehow not going over the bars, and slamming my hands onto the ledge whilst the front brake lever bent on my shin, gouging out a canyon of skin and hair. I've got a wicked sick dent in my leg from that, it's proper obvious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
