Title: Slamming when older
Post by: nee on December 19, 2008, 02:28 AM
Bloody hurts nowadays when you stack it, doesn't it!!!?

What would have been a sore leg 10 years ago becomes a week long ache and stuff!

I was at the little skatepark here in Lara the other night and REALLY wanted to get my barspin jumps back (i really miss them!)

So after a few dead sailor jumps i knew i had to just go for it......and ended up fully stacking it!!! lol

Luckily nothing broken, but torn muscle hurts a tad to say the least!

I want to be at the age again where nothing seemed to hurt and i was fearless! booooohooo!

Yeah, old age stackage is the suck. Just ask my ribs. They're still sore. And I have to go ride with Joel Alamo on Monday. Told him I was getting nine feet before the stack and now I'm gonna be lucky to get 6. Might just stick to the foam pit that day! ;D

I find that 25 years of crashing has made me quite good at it though!!  :LolLolLolLol:

Even foampits can bite if youre unluky.I was backflipping at corby the other week and came down short.My face guard of my f/face helmet hit me in the strernum on my chest.Still hurts now.Combined with a bruised coxix and a cold it makes you feel pretty ropey.But I'm still gonna ride on sunday  :daumenhoch: Neurofen is the answer.

I think it's just a case of being more relaxed when younger, nowadays we tense up waiting for the pain. Like when your drunk and fall over dont seem to hurt yourself as much.
My injury from this year; a month before MK08. Crashed at MK track, I wouldn't say a bad crash, got up and went to pick the bike up. :idiot2:

Both arms out of action is a nightmare - did that about ten years ago - tried to bail a 360 off a ghetto ramp at Kelvingrove and got my legs caught in the bike, came down on both forearms. Broke the radius head in my right arm, scaphoid in my right wrist and hit the left arm almost hard enough to break it, but not quite so that was f@ckin' agony as well.
Not good.
And going to the toilet was fun too....

Title: Re: Slamming when older
Post by: TwoBobRob on December 23, 2008, 02:01 PM
I ain't no tough lad.

You've got no worries there, I'm sure you could kick my arse.

Watching people fall over on YBF is one thing.   Dave's slam, is entirely another, and you should fcuking know better.

I'm sorry.  I will never laugh about that day, even if Dave can now.

No smilies this time , I wouldn't want to offend you.

Title: Re: Slamming when older
Post by: Rombloke on December 23, 2008, 02:37 PM
for your info priv my old fruit...

twobob was the first to the scene of my accident, and administered first aid.
he also took the decision to turn me over as i was obviously face down, unconcious, basically bleeding from my brain, thru the open break in my maxillio bone(thats the roof of the mouth), and in making his decision he knew that he had to stop the bleeding, but in turning me over also ran the risk that if i had spinal damage he could have paralysed me.
but he made the right choice, but that day prob is stuck in his head as much as mine, although i remember fook all about it.
so please forgive him if he finds you laughing at me a bit offensive....after all, i spilt 3 1/2 pints of blood on his jeans and tee shirt that day.

funny, no mate...it wasnt....and it still isnt

fact

No scars apart from where I impaled myself on my handlebars at the Creation Novice night on May 10th

I knackered both grips as the wooden floor took a chunk out of one grip and my stomach took a chunk out of the other!!

I wish I was using Cobra Grips!!  ???

20 minutes later I jumped off the back of my bike as I flipped out and landed on my feet. 

Trouble was my right foot was well under my body and I landed on my toes and hyperextended them.

Next Morning (12 hours later)

Next Afternoon (20 hours later)

I couldn't ride for the next three OS meets and when I started racing I didn't train because it still hurt!!

Only just started exercising my foot properly over the last month!!

I still have a small scar in my stomach and a large diminishing mass in my stomach after impaling myself!!   I reckon it will disappear completely over the next year!!

And to top off the night, my bike got stolen!!

If you see me riding towards you then take a wide berth and save yourself!!   :daumenhoch:

Well slamming when older and heavier had a severe impact on me, I offed at the charlton spine in prob 2003? and ruptured both kidneys, with the threat of losing them and having to have dialasis for the rest of my life , sitting still in a hospital bed hoping they would scab over and heal was a tough time , and it certainly has stopped me riding ramps

i still ride my old bikes , I have sold any new school bikes as a result and love to just roll around cruising our capital riding an old school machine
