MTB Crash
I love mountain biking, but “full contact sport” takes on a whole new meaning when you bite the dust. I took a few crash photos for evidence. The bike seems to have survived without any damage. If anything, it now has character!

Mom saw the pictures and thought I should get stitches, so I did. Just got back…5 stitches (3 in the big cut and 2 in the small one).

I didn’t “fall” off in that sense! I was flying around a curve and it was muddy so my tires were slick. I hit a root and instead of rolling over it, the tire slid along it and right out from under me. I went flying over the handlebars, hands first into the dirt, sticks, and stones. Not fun!

Aren’t we all winners, we’ve all got stitches somewhere. That “stab” wound in your leg (I think) looks absolutely savage.

I’ll have to take a pic with the stitches.

‘Stitches are trophies for the intense’. I saw that on a t-shirt once, I like it. Mountain biking is a lot like dirt bike riding. Now you know what I go through. Maybe you should wear some protective gear.:smile:

Protective gear is for people who can’t handle the pain!
