David20 Posted December 17, 2005 Report Share Posted December 17, 2005 (edited) Mine was when my brake locked on the edge of a drop and I flipped over the bars and smashed my face into the concrete. I also managed to completely knacker my leg at the same time meaning I could barely walk. I ended up with my front teeth destroyed and I had to get root treatment which is bloody sore and I always have to get other crap treatment done. Was very hard to get my bottle back but I managed and now faceplanting doesn't bother me too much.Cheers David.

pink_bmx_girl Posted December 18, 2005 Report Share Posted December 18, 2005 Today I thought, even though it's rather wet, i'll go out and have some fun!! So off to the skate park I went, just as I got there I went through a puddle, splashed all of my jeans and got myself soaked, then tried my brakes, only to find that they just let my wheels slip through them!! I crashed into the fence, went head first over them, and skidded under the quater pipe. Thank god I'm small otherwise I would have no head now I got up only to find I'd ripped my jeans Thank god there was no-one around to watch me.....until the chavs came....haven't wanted to cry so much since Eastenders on friday....

spode@thinkbikes Posted December 18, 2005 Report Share Posted December 18, 2005 I try not to think about my stacks too much. Otherwise I'll get scared when I go riding! As it is I look at things and think "what would happen if..."I chipped one of the vertebrae on my spine, but that was a form of whiplash - possibly from doing too many drop offs when I was younger.I screwed my foot up recently by landing all my weight on it side ways. Apparantly I tore the peraneal tendon. that was ****ing painful and it still hurts now.My shins are covered in scars from the old slip of the pedal malarchy. I face planted when I was doing some jumps and slipped on some dog shit. Got a nice black eye from that.But I would have to say the worst stack that scared the shit out of me, was in folkstone a few months a go. I fell backwards off a bin and without my feet even touching the ground landed all my weight on to a metal bollard about 20cm across. I was about 1 inch to the right of my spine ()So i landed all my weight on it, then flipped over, landed face first on the ground with the bike following. I really thought I'd screwed myself up, but I was riding before long Just a bit winded, sore and my back needed some cracking to get me going.I slipped a disc in my back at one point too, that still haunts me now. Everytime I come in from riding my back is on fire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

!aNT! Posted December 18, 2005 Report Share Posted December 18, 2005 (edited) no i had 3 wobly ones...its quite embarassing cus it was off a 2 foot jump...if only id had got a pic before it was cleaned! twas mean...the doctor used local aneisthetic (spelling?) and opened up the cut and showed me and there was a chip of bone just to the side no good. my green t-shirt became dark red. i was saved really by my helmet cus accordin to my mate who got me out of there i hit the tree head on and made a mess of my helmet and the as i bounced off unconcieus my bike smacked me in the back of the head crank first follwed by front wheel and split my chin. imagine the damage with the helmet though! just a lesson to all who ride without a helmet, and i thank my mate cus i almost didnt wear one! just think how small 2 foot is, and consider if i messed up that by pure unfortune, you could mess up a small gap and all..!!enough of me! !aNT!By the way they were taken a week after!!

trialsinchris Posted December 18, 2005 Report Share Posted December 18, 2005 mine is when my handle bars snapped on a small drop hurt all over really. also scott 13 what about when you chipped your bone when brakes slipped, or when you chipped your tooth.

There was a time when i was going down a ramp and some one rode in front of me so my reaction was to slam me brakes on and i went stright over me handlebars landed on the ground ok but then the bike came over and smashed my head into the floor and chipped mi tooth. Also there was a time where i try to back hop up this curb messing about but my brake slipped and i lande on my back and chipped the bone in it.
