Scars Through Trials

All I have is the classic shin meeting pedal scars, one near my elbow which I got from going through a narrow alley and not paying attension and one on my knee. But I can't remember how I got that one. I know it was a trials crash though.

Two months ago I tried a sidhop on a skinny. It was something like 1 meter 10 cm and I had done it rear wheel first so it gave me confidence. The departure was from a small step 20 cm high and 30 cm wide. I did it but wasn't confortably on it so I decided to jump down. My rear wheel slipped from the little step when I got down and my foot slipped. The pedal went through my bent leg and as a result I have had a partial rupture of the tendon. Doctors said I shouldn't go to work or ride within 2 months but 2 weeks afterwards I was back on the bike. That's how much I have only trials left in life. It was very difficult to bend my leg to preload for the first two weeks but now it's better.

But 2 years ago I have had partial amniesia. Don't ask me how or why I don't remember. I only remember waking up, having peed in my pants and feeling as lost as I have never felt in my life before. I called the police because I didn't remember where I parked my car, where I lived or anything.

THAT was scary! I know how it feels to be really lost!

Most of my scars are from pedal slaps, although i have 2 pretty big ones both from bikes!

one was on a tiny bike trying to wheelie it, it flew up and the wheel bolt hit me in the head

next i was on a mountain bike, decided to put my feet in the clip on pedals and fell to the side and landed on my eyebrow on some steps (you may rememeber me posting a pic in either the angry thread or happy)

And i got a few cuts tonight which i expect to scar, tryed to bunny hop off a hill and somehow went over the bars, and the side of the bars went into my ribs. now that i think about it i kinda got off lucky, probably would have went through me if it was my stomach, now its sore to breath haha
