I dont even know why i read this message board..just to freak myself out. I hate thinking about breaking bones from biking.
I havent broken a bone mountain biking yet but saw this guy in Whistler nearly tear his foot off his leg after landing funky flying off a table top. His foot got caught in his frame as he was sliding sideways. After seeing that, I got too cautious and stopped doing drops that day.
Past broken bones not from Biking:
1) 13yrs old: trying to be a ninja, I attempted to break a wooden board that must have weighd about 10lbs and 3" thick. I shatter all the bones in my right hand...hurt like a SOB. I didnt try that again until..
2)16ys old: trying to be a ninja again I busted my other hand repeatidly punching some goofball in his thick head
3) 17yrs old: playing Rugby and runing down the field with the ball just about to score when some schlep nailed me from the side breaking 4 ribs and one rib ended up puncturing my liver.
4) 17yrs old: Rugby again, but this time it was some guy on my team as we were running towards an opponent top speedand nailed him at the same time around the mid section . His head was down and mine was up...His forehead crushed my nose to a pancake at about 25mph..knocked me out cold and had to get reconstructive surgery....fricken a-hole
5) 2 weeks later the same teammate (not playing rugby) was showing me some ninja move and accidently broke my broken, recently reconstructed nose....fricken a-hole
I got him back next season in practice, he was running towards me with the ball and I hit him so hard I knocked his 2 front teeth out...(wanst on purpose) but I had a good laugh anyways as he was lying on the ground bleeding and screming in pain...fricken a-hole.
we are still friends and havent broken anymore of eachothers bones, eventhough sometimes i want to...fricken a-h
