rode over old fence wire sprung up, caught chainset and stopped bike dead.

was ridign alone so took picture to assess damage. Normally I can sneak in the house and have a shower to wash the worst of the evidence away before I'm spotted ("Why is you leg at that angle?" "just scraped it a bit, it's just a flesh wound"). Wasn't really an option on this occasion.

Still have scar on forehead where helmet peak dug in.

It was the rock garden on Skyline wot done it... Cracked my helmet, and have scars on my mouth from 14 stitches. Couldn't talk, smile, drink or eat. You have my sympathy lipseal! Hope it gets better quickly. I used Rosehip seed oil from Neal's Yard on my face, very good for helping skin to heal.

Oh and I remember the anaesthetic injection straight into the wounds.... owwwwwww!

From the original Red Bull at CYB before it was sanitised to a shadow of its former self.

Just found this one take as soon as I got home by my loving wife...

Shoulder is still hurting, back at the hospital next week to see what the next steps are

PeterPoddy, now they're the kind of pictures I wanted to see when I clicked this thread, not loads of blood! :-S

That a long time hope you get it sorted.

This one does the rounds a lot. Thankfully I have no photos of myself faceplanting.

This one does the rounds a lot.

That's brilliant!

I don't know whether I've not being going fast enough, or whether I'm lacking the self confidence to believe in myself beyond the point of no return, but I've always been able to get my heels over the bars before anything awful happens.

Probably not trying hard enough.

Bugger, posted the wrong pic again. Never mind!

This was the result of what was going to be a gentle ride on Dartmoor but only after half a mile - BANG - things were going so well up to then ...

right after the crash

This was me a few hours later after a visit to A&E

The next day with the scars/scabs...

[img] [/img]

I was fortunate not to have any stitches but I was super glued together on the worst cuts 🙂

Chin meets rock, rock wins.

failed to get pic on as it's attached to facebook

edit -

[img] [/img]

Was coming down the bit that can be seen over my shoulder - just didn't plan it would be on my face

Not as bad as those above, but has comedy value in a map of Englandshire scab. Carn Ban Mor OTB

Bump for the night shift

this one makes me wince everytime I see it...

lipseal - I told you there was steps coming up!! 😈

That actually has gone wrong that one, hasn't it?

jam bo... he is going down HARD man...

Ahh it's a shame I'd forgot to press start on my GoPro Andy, there was a good chance of me catching the stack on film, was only couple of bikes behind you...

Dave I forgot there was two lots, I sort of lost my line on the second set and my fat arse wasn't back farenough, that's my modelling contract finished with gillette. 😉

Mick you'd best give me that camera as you don't know how to use it.

Can't believe this thread didn't have a Public Warning. 😯

Some pretty grim pics there and hope everyone is on the mend. 🙂

Be careful out there.

Had my worst plant on my road bike - broken collarbone, ribs, punctured left lung and some extraordinary road rash. All in the name of finding out that riding a fixed gear on a Monday is not the best after taking my mtb 'round the Quantocks on Saturday...they just don't mix. No pics unfortunately - my wife was too squeamish. I do have some decent scars though!

crispy bacon: This was me a few hours later after a visit to A&E

All those pics above (apart from the ladies) - not looking forward to that first shave!!

[quote='lipseal']Mick you'd best give me that camera as you don't know how to use it.

But I CAN ride my bike down steps, with 26" or 29" wheels 😆

Andy thats awesome, i'll have to remember to come out next time your riding. Bet from now on everyone with the cameras will be behind you.

Good entrance into the Stack of the Year award, blood, stitches, A&E, Photos. All that was needed to guarantee the trophy was a broken bone, so you must try harder next time 😆

didn't know they offered cocaine on the NHS

So it's not just me who thinks he looks pilled up....

Ian I promise to try harder next time, maybe lose a couple of teeth. 😛

Guaranteed to happen when Gav`s camera is out..... 😉

That downhill one is outstanding..... 😯

I need to look through my old pics, I have an ace one of me from 89, it'll * those above up the *.

an old one at Bedgebury. Look to the left of the bridge

Helping Sue out of the stream

[img] [/img]

It was November, the water was cold and she was fully submerged hence the look of shock on her face (but Gary on the right seemed to find it funny)

[img] [/img]

another blast from the past for those of you who remember 'Rat boy', misjudging the depth of a puddle and getting fully submerged after going head OTB

[img] [/img]

Keep em coming 😆

I'm scabbing up nicely(picture taken by my concerned wife)

The aftermath (lost count of how many stitches although I was amazingly lucky to have no real scarring and not to break my neck/teeth etc)
