stidds:
I was racing bitd at Hungerford track, which had a really fast 1st straight with big speed jumps.
Came out of the gate with the rest of the pack and as we got to the 1st speed jump somebody caught their pedal in my wheel and flipped me. As I landed I hit the upside of the 1st speed jump at high speed with my right knee bent. The force of the impact split my kneecap in half. Fook me I have never felt pain like that before (or since), I had 2 operations to fix the split knee and spent 6 months in plaster.

Like pickle, i tested my chain tension with my index finger while riding back to the car after a moto at knottingley '87 or so. Finger went some way round between chain and chainring. Got a huge and painful blood blister. Next weird one was 1992, british champs at derby,, i bailed a 360, got hit in the right groin by my bars when i landed, got a bruise on my inner thigh the size of a dinner plate and a torn scrotum, I trapped my bag against my leg. Plenty pain... I broke my jaw at chesterfield skatepark in 99/2000 when attempting to ride at speed up the very edge of a transition to do something carved (can't remember what) my front wheel went off the side of the ramp and i bashed my chin/jaw on the coping. Couldn't chew food for ages. Very frustrating.

The photos of me with a fractured skull in the me & my bikes section from 5yrs ago are not the dirst time....
13yrs old, you know how fookin daft we all were. Quarterpipe in my mare's back yard made from a couple of 8x4's held together with Blue Peter magic. Big run up. Air. Only 4' wide..... Yep, missed the fooka completely on the way down and fractured my skull and busted up both my knuckles. Kept over night on the saturday for observation and released with serious concussion Sunday afternoon Back at school monday morning......
Sent home after an hour as I couldn't write straight.
Some things we never learn from eh? I'm still scared of getting out the top of quarterpipes to this day but still try!
My brother Simon got hit inthe face by a bee jumping the big water-jump down the local bomb-hole..... That was messy. God knows how he didn't break his arms and legs in the carnage that followed as he missed the landing ramp.....
