what was your worst bike accident ???
i think i might take the cake......

i was 14 ridding a cr250 at menai (sydney south) i was a pretty good rider and had no fear.... but there was this one massive double jump that i could not bring myself to do.....

one day my old man gave me the courage and i hit this double pretty hard and fast.

well i over jumped the jump and landed on flat ground...

my head (was wearing a helment) came down and smashed the handlebars splitting my FOX helmet wide open....

and thats all i remember....

3 weeks later i wake up in hospital with...
a smashed hip (in half)
both legs
a knee
rh foot
both collor bone
lower back
4 ribs
lh forearm
rh elbow
4 fingers
and my rh shoulder blade..

the doctors said i would never walk again... i was shatted...i was in hospital in traction for 3 months and i was in a wheel chair for 8 months and had no feeling in legs... it took me 2yrs to get back up and walking again.
now ridding pitpro,yz80,suzuki bouelvar m109 (1.8L)

search does work just open it in a new 'tab' / 'page' (ALERT MOD TO FIX)

btw my worst accident was 2 weeks ago !

while riding @ menai, we were having a big puddle crossing competition(to get the lead),
after going through a deep 1, my mate & I stopped .
We stopped then were comparing the mud damage on us & our bikes ( he won )
however he took the lead(the person in front often covers the following person in crap) and i tried to follow .
failing changing gears I look down to see that the selector peg has been bent under the bike (therefore cant reach to change gears).
My mate then simultaneously stops as Im looking down , and I went straight into the side of him ! he was stopped and I was moving ,but him being about 120Kg and me 85Kg I bounced off him and my bike came down ontop of me ! the worst part is the massive burn , nearly to the bone , I have to my leg (you know the spot - right leg halfway up shin) its been just over 2 weeks & im still bleeding ..... photos to come !!!

my worst was when i liked BMX i ripped about 5-7layers of skin off my RH forearm, but not to long ago bout a month i highsided myself flew through the air about five meters and landed on my gut and winded myself. im lucky when it comes to crashing.

whoops meant to give you cred but took it instead ..... can't change it

I know what it takes to come back from a broken back .... not just the body but the mind .The first ride back FEAR .... thankfully is something most will never deal with

So hit him with some positive credit points crew ..... this man deserves it ... he rolls the dice every time he rides
