For a change lets see you crash damage photos!!!

no pics of the headtube crack unfortunately, but basically put my fork into my TT on my DH bike, dented it, and started to rip the HT off.

bugger.

Cracked the frame of my VT after a crash on Falsh Teeth at C-Y-B. Got a Reign as a Warranty replacement 😀

Not quite as good as the one above, but still worth a post 🙂 Not tried any metal detectors yet 😉

Nothing like could of B&Q screw in ya to cheer a bloke up

le metallurgie francais ala morzine (and its 2 pics of the same knee, my folks thought I'd done both!)

Cynical-al HOW??

Genuine JRA – must have been cracking for ages. Frame was Prestige tubing so I was surprised.I was hucking it off a 40ft skinny.

@Marmoset – what frame is that?

hmmm

My dis-located elbow x-ray from 2006.

Wow some of you guys must be properly shit at riding.

Mess from torn ACJ

My chest drain pot of ooze.

**** clavicle

LOL @ cynic-al. I like to think I've improved a bit since the elbow incident.

that dislocated elbow one made my toes curl.
a fine selection of smashed to bit people there -special mention to sharki for doing such a thorough job of it

It did hurt quite a bit!
After the crash my arm was bent 45 degrees the wrong way, my first (probably wrong) instinct was to bend it back the right way. No broken bones, but the ligaments were badly torn, and I think I was lucky not to have any nerve damage.
It took around 18 months for it to stop hurting completely and get back to full strength, although I was back riding after around month.

Did this on holiday last summer in Tenerife. coming down the mountain a bit too quick
