Cwmcarn today, booked on the uplift, 1st run of the day had a massive over the bars crash as i ran out of talent on one of the tabletops near the bottom - result lots of bruises and grazes one very swollen knee and one elbow cut open. Happy to say no broken bones and didn't land on my head, now sat back at home having a couple of beers to wash the painkillers down.

have the lips not worn down yet or have they reshaped them again?
they made the jumps a challenge last year by cutting the lips too steep so they would last longer

I managed to nearly break my neck last week at West Woods; whiplash and a couple of cracked ribs was the result.
Landed right on my face, no major damage there!
Slight loss of feeling on my right arm; will take a few days for the swelling in my neck to take the pressure off my nerve cord.
The main thing is that I can ride, albeit painfully, and am not worse off.

I learnt, having shattered my shoulder 2 years ago, to take my last run down hill easy; I'm often tired and overconfident by then....
Hope you feel better soon.
