Injuries

(1/5) > >>

EDBANGER:
Got a really pants injury yesterday.  Just hopped up a curb and for some reason my left ankle wasn't impressed.  Swollen and painful to ride on now.  I was meant to be going mountain biking in Cannock CHase tomorrow but a test ride around the block saw me nearly pass out when I dropped of a curb.  What's the quickest way to fix this up?

Also, whilst on topic what's the worst injury you've picked up during your a BMX antics?

ED209:
Broken collar bone 2 months after getting back into it in 2009 ... never broken anything in my life until then.

Used Mat Hoffman as inspiration to get back riding  :daumenhoch:

Mat:
Bit shit really but opened up the same shin recently that I sliced on a Tange headlock in '83

Stung like fook, but I didn't cry this time round . :D

griff:
I accidentally left a bit of my finger on the bolster chisel when I hit it with a lump hammer today
 :nickswan:
should come up nice in the morning

Jon The Bassist:
If there's no real damage to the joint then follow the RICE procedure (rest ice compression elevation).  I find ice cold ibuprofen gel straight from the fridge really helps  :daumenhoch:

I had lots of cuts and bruises from the old days (still got the scars!) but no breaks. Modern days broken cocyx, strained knee ligaments, strained ligaments across bottom of my hands (a few times  :uglystupid2:), and a nice deep cut right down to my knee cap 2 months ago.

But that's nothing compared to most of the old gits I ride with eg Diggler, Richie, Rooski, Nada, Greg etc  :10_2_12:
