WORST BEFORE AND AFTER PHOTOS - Clothing - bikes - stitches etc -

What not to do in Dalby Forest
The wife broke her wrist at New Year, both bones and twisted and that was just a little slip whilst walking.
We had to walk three miles back to the car with her holding it. She was a brave little soldier.

I think the surgeon's name was Dr. Frankenstien, and he was having a really bad day.
We hope it is better on the inside, but the movement in her fingers (or rather lack of) is a little worrying.

Worse bit.. is "I" am having to pick up dog shite "What in heavens sake is wrong with the other arm?"
That, and having to stay safe on the bike for a while.

We will get it sorted.

mate those are the ugliest I ever see it looks like a stitched vagina on your arm

i thought this bone was never breaking

It is a shattered heel. Most times, like with my other heel (calcaneus) injury it knocks the heel off. This one, I was not so lucky. Not an uncommon MTB injury and most common on the new electric city scooters. I would like to attribute this to a low BB like a real enduro racer, but it was from doing the dead sailer and sticking a leg down.

You appear to be suffering from the same degenerative disease I have. TMB (too many birthdays). As a young motocross racer, I was told by wise 30ish year old that I would keep every injury I sustained past the age of 25. He was right! I am 58 now and a wreck!

Over the bars early December ‘20. Had some kind of jam between chain and cassette and suddenly stopped. Felt like someone put a stick in the spokes! Anyway, 5 hours of surgery later...

Did you go for a ride through the sewage centre Have you thought about some mudguards

The pictures are both with and without mudguards. The front mudguard keeps the mud off the chest/face and the rear is useless.....but it has been very muddy.

my shoulders have had a bit of a battering the last 4 or 5 years with a total shoulder separation on left side and a mega dislocation combined with torn rotator cuff and fractured humerus on the right, also fractured metacarpal.

I'd normally not bother with techy climbs like this, but on an emtb I sometimes feel like superman...

Got past the tricky part!

Or so I thought...

The dead grass stuff was slippery and I had to make a turn on it. I was going a bit slow and it was funneled me into a groove and I lost balance. Tipped over without any place to put a foot down, until it landed into the uneven ground inside the ditch.

I blew the front tire off the bead screwing around and went down. Bent front rim, cracked carbon bars and brake rotor. I had road rash from my ankle to behind my ear. Worst part was the 4 mile walk back to the truck. Not the worst crash but a fun one. I’m good at crashing , which sucks at times ??

Wow. I'm always in pain. Lol. Did the other heel, tib-fib, shattered tibial plateau, a C1 and the dreaded ruptured testicle?

Used to race motocross. I actually feel great when I ride the bike. If I don't ride on a regular basis it all starts to ache. My heel is my only mtb injury.....so far.
